This article discusses a case of Powassan virus encephalitis in a 9-year-old boy in Canada. Powassan virus is a tick-borne flavivirus that can cause encephalitis and has a high mortality rate. The boy presented with fever, neck stiffness, and headache after attending a summer camping trip. He experienced neurological symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with Powassan virus encephalitis. The article emphasizes the importance of considering arthropod-borne infections in patients with encephalitis, increasing awareness among clinicians, and reporting cases to public health authorities.
