“…Our results showed that 55% of our Egyptian donors were seropositive for WNV IgG antibodies, and thus we can concur that the sero‐prevalence of WNV has remained for the better part of the past 60 years constant in Egypt, indicating endemicity, and that cases of symptomatic WNV probably escaped clinical diagnosis due to the lack of specific symptoms. Our results together with other previous studies, in Egypt and in other countries [Vieira et al, ], point to the importance of considering and monitoring the WNV as a cause in febrile cases, meningo‐encephalitis cases, and neuroinvasive diseases as well, to estimate the prevalence of WNV infections.…”

“…In addition, while ROCV caused local epidemics in coastal areas of São Paulo, Brazil from 1973 to 1980, it has subsequently disappeared from this region of Brazil 30 . Furthermore, WNV, which has only recently been detected in Brazil, does not yet appear to have become established as a significant pathogen in Latin America 31 . It should also be emphasized that even following the epidemics in the Pacific and subsequent spread of ZIKV to the Americas, Asia has experienced relatively small ZIKV outbreaks compared to the explosive and clinically apparent epidemics in the Pacific and the Americas 32 .…”

“…In addition to the most common agents associated with meningoencephalitis in Italy (e.g., herpes simplex virus [HSV] 1-2, pneumococcus), we investigated bacteria (Treponema pallidum, Mycobacterium tuberculosis), neurotropic viruses (West Nile, Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue), and Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii, which account for the majority of cases of acute or chronic meningoencephalitis in Brazil. [1][2][3] Moreover, we looked for opportunistic neuroinfections such as other herpesviruses, JC virus, Toxoplasma, and fungi, which may affect HIV-infected patients without optimal CD4 recovery. 4 Given the broad spectrum of possible infectious etiologies, we started an empiric therapy based on ceftriaxone (2 g bid), fluconazole (100 mg/d), and acyclovir (750 mg tid).…”
