Abstract

Heartland virus is a tickborne phlebovirus first identified in Missouri in 2009; 11 human cases have been reported in the literature. Reported hallmarks of infection have included fever, malaise, anorexia, gastrointestinal complaints, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and aminotransferase elevations. We report 1 confirmed and 2 suspected cases and discuss implications for case-finding.
