Yellow fever vaccine-associated neurologic and viscerotropic disease: a 10-year case series of the French National Reference Center for arboviruses with clinical and immunological insights.

Description

Immunization against the Yellow fever virus (YFV) with the 17D live-attenuated vaccine is the most effective way to prevent the disease. However, unexpected severe adverse events can occur. They consist in a neurological disease (YEL-AND), a viscerotropic disease (YEL-AVD), or anaphylaxis. In this article, we describe the epidemiology, clinical and biological features of YEL-AND and YEL-AVD cases reported to the French National Reference Center for Arboviruses (NRCA) in the past 10 years.
