Persistent viremia and urine shedding of tick-borne encephalitis virus in an infected immunosuppressed patient from a new epidemic cluster in North-Eastern Italy

[Display omitted] •A rare case of persistent TBEV infection of an immune-suppressed patient.•Virus detection in the erythrocyte fraction is observed for the first time with TBEV.•Shedding of TBEV in the urine lasted for over two months.•Identification of a cluster of three TBEV infected patients in...
