A 35-year-old woman transported the body of a possible BDBV-infected patient from Bunia in Ituri Province to Goma for burial; she was accompanied by an 8-month-old breastfeeding child. Six days after arrival in Goma, she noted onset of fever and malaise and was empirically started on therapy for malaria; 4 days later she developed bloody diarrhea and a bloody vaginal discharge and was started on metronidazole for possible amebic dysentery. When her condition worsened she was admitted to hospital in Goma, where a blood sample was positive by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for BDBV, with a second positive test on hospital day 7. By day 14 of hospitalization fever and major symptoms had resolved and repeat RT-PCR tests \u00d7 2 were negative. Her child did not show evidence of infection, and no family members or health care workers at HEAL Africa Hospital developed illness.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.26-0480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T15:20:45Z","timestamp":1791904845000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case of Bundibugyo Virus Disease in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo with Lack of Transmission to Breastfeeding Infant"],"prefix":"10.4269","author":[{"given":"Felicien M.","family":"Maisha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"HEAL Africa Hospital, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"},{"name":"Department of Sociology, University of Goma, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"},{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kahatwa K.","family":"Serge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HEAL Africa Hospital, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Goma, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kambale","family":"Kasonia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Universite Libre des Pays de Grands Lacs, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zebed\u00e9e Luhavo","family":"Kakule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HEAL Africa Hospital, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayakrishnan","family":"Ajayakumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Lednicky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA;"},{"name":"Department of Environmental and Global Health, College of Public Health and Health Professions, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Curtis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
