  abstract = {{T}oscana virus ({TOSV}) is a neglected sandfly-borne pathogen in {M}editerranean countries. {A}lthough discovered four decades ago, articles that describe the clinical aspects are scarce and consist mostly of case reports, with few series of cases. {W}e studied retrospectively symptomatic {TOSV} infections in patients hospitalized in {M}arseille ({F}rance) from 2004 to 2011. {S}eventeen patients were classified as probable or confirmed cases. {F}ourteen cases (82%) occurred between {J}une and {S}eptember, and 3 cases in {M}arch, {A}pril and {N}ovember. {T}wo cases were potentially imported from {C}roatia and {T}uscany. {A}ll patients presented with fever and neurological signs were observed such as aseptic meningitis (n = 6), muscular symptoms (n = 3), or encephalitis (n = 4). {T}he outcome was always favorable. {A}t the acute stage, anti {TOSV} {I}g{M} were observed in 14/17 patients, neutralization tests were positive for 3/8 patients, and {RT}-{PCR} confirmed {TOSV} infections in 5/8 {CSF} specimens.},
