Unusual Clinical Features of Toscana Virus Central Nervous System Infections in Italy Analysis of 35 neuroinvasive Toscana virus cases shows mostly mild meningitis with recovery, rare encephalitis needing ICU care, and rising neurotropic severity

This #Zoonoses study demonstrates that #ToscanaVirus is often asymptomatic or mild, yet its #Neurotropic nature can drive severe #NeurologicalDiseases, like #Meningitis & #Encephalitis, warranting further research to understand its broader impact on human health.
