The confirmation of two cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman, province of Tucuman, is described in the present study. In 2021, the diagnosis of two patients with HPS with no history of travel outside the province was confirmed. The infection was determined by serology in both cases.

- * From 1993 to 2019, researchers collected rodent samples, resulting in the sequencing of 13 new genomes, which expanded the known New World arenavirus Clade C from 11 to 24 genomes.
- * Among these genomes, two show enough genetic variation to be classified as a new species, and the research indicates widespread circulation of Clade C in rodents, though its risk to humans is still unclear.
