- Abstract
The article discusses the case of a 17-year old man who was diagnosed with Toscana virus infection that was acquired on the island of Elba and was imported into Switzerland. Results of cardiopulmonary and neurological examination showed tachycardia and nuchal rigidity. Abnormalities were also seen on the results of a complete blood count and liver and kidney function tests of the patient. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid showed lymphocytic pleocytosis while serologic testing revealed the absence of acute infection with herpesvirus.
