Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infections and Seroprevalence, Southern Iraq

Acute febrile neurological infection cases in southern Iraq (N = 212) were screened for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Two LCMV IgM–positive serum samples and 2 cerebrospinal fluid samples with phylogenetically distinct LCMV strains were found. The overall LCMV seroprevalence was 8.8%. L...

LCMV infections are common and associated with acute neurological disease in Iraq.
