To the Editor:
Zika virus (ZIKV) is currently spreading widely, while its clinical spectrum remains a matter of investigation. Evidence of a relationship between ZIKV infection and cerebral birth abnormalities1,2 is growing.3 An increased incidence of some peripheral nervous syndromes among adults was reported during outbreaks in French Polynesia4,5 and Brazil,1,2 but no formal link with ZIKV infection was shown. We describe a case of central nervous system infection with ZIKV that was associated with meningoencephalitis in an adult.

Clinicians should be aware that ZIKV may be associated with meningoencephalitis.
