Abstract:
:A case of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection is reported in a young traveler returning from Thailand. Clinical suspicion of JEV in travelers returning from endemic areas with neurologic symptoms is warranted. Confirmation of the diagnosis is complex and requires specialized laboratory services. Individualized advice on the costs and benefits of vaccination is recommended.
