Adria virus (ADRV), named after the Adriatic Sea, is a phlebovirus transmitted by sandflies that can cause a febrile illness in people.

[2] In 2011, Anagnostou reported genetic detection and sequencing of an Adria virus in a boy who was hospitalized because of a simple febrile seizure.

Clinical examinations including a thorough general and detailed neurologic evaluation revealed no abnormalities except mild rhinitis.

One year after discharge from the hospital, his mother reported that the child remained well without any recurrence of febrile or any other type of seizures.

Although the symptoms of the patient were mild, further studies are needed to show the detailed pathogenesis in public health.
