✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is rare, but the most severe of the mosquito‐borne encephalitides in the United States with a high case fatality rate of 30%. Here, we present a patient with EEE. EEE virus causes sporadic human disease in the Eastern parts of the United States, but the case we describe was a Scottish tourist who acquired the disease from mosquito bites while in holiday in the United States. This is a first report of an imported case to Europe. J. Med. Virol. 81:305–308, 2009. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
