Meningoencephalitis Caused by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in a Returning Traveler, United States, 2023
We describe a case of meningoencephalitis caused by tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus in a traveler returning to the United States presenting with fever, headaches, neck stiffness, encephalopathy, and aphasia. This case highlights the importance of obtaining a travel history and use of the TBE vaccine as appropriate for patients who are at risk for TBE.
