Ilheus virus is an arbovirus with the potential for central nervous system involvement. Accurate diagnosis is a challenge due to similar clinical symptoms and serologic cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses. Here, we describe the first documented case of a fatal outcome following the identification of Ilheus virus in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a patient with cerebral encephalitis in Brazil.
伊蚊病毒是一种虫媒病毒，有可能侵犯中枢神经系统。由于临床症状相似，且与其他黄病毒存在血清学交叉反应，因此准确诊断具有挑战性。在此，我们描述了巴西首例经脑脊液（CSF）鉴定为伊蚊病毒的致命性脑炎病例。
