Abstract

We present the case of a patient with Japanese encephalitis who was identified by a retrospective audit. The patient had initially been diagnosed and notified as a case of Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE).
In May 2021, a 77-year-old Victorian man was caravanning through the Northern Territory, where he and his partner recalled that he was extensively bitten by mosquitoes at a creek camp stop, 130 km south of Darwin.
