We report an acute Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced meningo-cerebellitis in an immunocompetent adult patient. CVB3 has a global distribution and is the most common Enteroviruses cause of myocarditis and sudden cardiac death. To our knowledge, CVB3 is exceedingly rare as causes of meningo-encephalitis in immunocompetent adults, whereas some cases have been reported in neonates due to perinatal acquired infections or in immunocompromised patients.
