Abstract
Introduction: We present a case report of aseptic meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent patient that resulted from oropouche virus acquired in Cuba in June 2024. He was diagnosed with a positive rt-PCR (blood and liquor serum) for the Oropouche virus. Due to the current situation, this rare disease should be considered in travelers from middle or southern America, especially those with fever and negative serology for dengue, zika, and chikungunya viruses.
