Sandfly fever virus can cause pappataci fever. This case highlights sandfly fever virus as a potential cause of aseptic meningitis in travelers, even in non-endemic areas.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Sandfly fever virus, a Phlebovirus, is endemic in South Europe, Asia, and Africa, causing pappataci fever.
  • In Germany, cases are typically linked to travel history in endemic regions.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old girl presented with fever, headache, and nausea after a trip to Turkey.
  • Symptoms recurred, leading to hospitalization with signs of severe lymphocytic meningitis.
  • Multiple insect bites on her legs prompted suspicion of sandfly fever.

Findings:

  • Blood analysis confirmed acute infection with sandfly virus Sicilian.
  • ELISA and immunoblot confirmed the serotype, a rare cause of meningitis.
  • The patient made a complete recovery.

Implications:

  • Sandfly fever virus infection should be considered in travelers presenting with aseptic meningitis.
  • Increased global tourism necessitates awareness of geographically diverse infectious agents.
  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of sandfly fever virus, including meningitis.
