| Summary: | nonspecific mild febrile illness, or severe neuroinvasive dis-ease (4,7,10). This case illustrates a suspected JCV infection causing undifferentiated severe sepsis, which has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported. Initial suspicion for acute neuroinvasive disease was low, and neurologic imag-ing and cerebrospinal fluid sampling were not performed. We recommend that testing for CAL (and specifically for JCV) infection should be strongly considered in the setting of severe sepsis in adults with substantial exposure to mos-quitoes and no other identifiable source of sepsis. |
