Abstract

In the context of an emerging Japanese encephalitis outbreak within Australia, we describe a novel locally acquired case in New South Wales. A man in his 70s had rapidly progressive, fatal meningoencephalitis, diagnosed as caused by Japanese encephalitis virus by RNA-based metagenomic next-generation sequencing performed on postmortem brain tissue.
