Oropouche virus–associated aseptic meningoencephalitis, Southeastern Brazil

Abstract

Oropouche fever is a neglected arthropodborne disease and zoonosis responsible for several outbreaks of a febrile disease in Central and South America. We present a clinical case of aseptic meningoencephalitis in an immunocompe-tent patient that resulted from Oropouche virus acquired in northern Brazil but diagnosed in a nonendemic region.
