Summary

Clinical and virological studies of a case of Apeu arthropod-borne virus infection acquired in the laboratory are described. The virus was isolated from the patient's acute phase serum and was identified by serological methods. Relation of the viral isolate to the illness was supported by development of hemagglutination-inhibiting, complement-fixing, neutralizing and precipitating antibodies to Apeu virus in the patient's convalescent serum.
