}}Brazilian hemorrhagic fever (BzHF) is an infectious disease caused by the Sabiá virus, an arenavirus.[1] The Sabiá virus is one of the arenaviruses from South America to cause hemorrhagic fever.[2] It shares a common progenitor with the Junin virus, Machupo virus, Tacaribe virus, and Guanarito virus.[2] It is an enveloped RNA virus and is highly infectious and lethal.[3] Very little is known about this disease, but it is thought to be transmitted by the excreta of rodents.[1][3]

There have only been three documented infections of the Sabiá virus, only one of which occurred naturally and the other two cases occurred in the clinical setting.[1] The only naturally occurring case was in 1990, when a female agricultural engineer who was staying in the neighborhood of Jardim Sabiá near São Paulo, Brazil contracted the disease. She presented with hemorrhagic fever and died.[1] Her autopsy showed liver necrosis.[1] A virologist who was studying the woman's disease contracted the virus but survived.[1] Ribavirin was not given in these first two cases.[1] Four years later, in 1994, a researcher was exposed to the virus in a level 3 biohazard facility at Yale University when a centrifuge bottle cracked, leaked, and released aerosolized virus particle.[1][4] He was successfully treated with ribavirin.[1][5]

Ribavirin is thought to be effective in treating the illness, similar to other arenaviruses.[1][5] Compared to the patients who did not receive ribavirin, the patient who was treated with it had a shorter and less severe clinical course.[1] Symptomatic control such as fluids to address dehydration and bleeding may also be required.[5]

The Sabiá virus is a biosafety Level 4 pathogen.[3]

This virus has also been implicated as a means for bioterrorism, as it can be spread through aerosols.[6]
