Oropouche infection in Peruvian patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Oropouche virus (OROV), discovered in 1955, has evolved from being a pathogen limited to the Amazon basin to becoming a growing threat to public health in Latin America. Because its symptoms are similar to those of dengue and zika, diagnosis is complicated. In this context, the objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of epidemiological and clinical characteristics in Peruvian patients diagnosed with Oropouche.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. An exhaustive literature search was conducted up to April 10, 2025, across ten databases using MeSH terms like "Oropouche" and "Peru," combined with Boolean operators. Only observational studies conducted in Peru that reported confirmed OROV
