Louis Encephalitis in Argentina: The First Case Reported in the Last Seventeen Years
Dengue, yellow fever, and Ilhéus circulate only in subtropical areas of Argentina; only dengue virus was investigated because of a current epidemiologic surveillance program; results were negative
Louis encephalitis in a 61-year-old patient, after >10 years of no reports in Argentina, along with specific epidemiology, suggest that further studies are needed to assess the risk for human infection by SLEV in Argentina and the role of several mosquito species in its transmission
