Abstract
Toscana virus (TOSv) is a neurotropic arthropod-borne virus that causes meningitis in the Mediterranean basin during the summer months. A total of 120 patients suffering from acute aseptic meningitis between July 1 and October 31, 2010 in northern Italy were evaluated. Eighteen of them (15%) were in the acute stage of TOSv disease.
