We present a case of viral encephalitis due to Sandfly Fever Turkey Virus (SFTV), a novel phlebovirus genetically related to but distinct from Sandfly Fever Sicilian Virus (SFSV), recently identified in a 63-year-old female, via consensus PCR and sequencing. SFTV was initially characterized in 2010 in samples from outbreaks of febrile diseases occurred during 2007-2008 and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an SFTV-related central nervous system (CNS) infection.
我们报告了一例由沙蝇热土耳其病毒（SFTV）引起的病毒性脑炎，这是一种新型的嗜肝病毒，与沙蝇热西西里病毒（SFSV）在基因上有关，但又不同，最近在一名 63 岁女性中通过共识聚合酶链反应和测序鉴定。SFTV 于 2010 年在 2007-2008 年发生的发热性疾病暴发期间的样本中首次得到描述，据我们所知，这是首例与 SFTV 相关的中枢神经系统（CNS）感染的报告。
