Resumo: We report a case of laboratory-confirmed Zika virus infection imported into Europe from the Americas. The patient developed fever, rash, - oedema of h-s - feet after returning to Italy from Brazil in late March 2015. The case highlights that, together with chikungunya virus - dengue virus, three major arboviruses are now co-circulating in Brazil. These arboviruses represent a burden for the healthcare systems in Brazil - other countries where competent mosquito vectors are present.
