A93: Other arthropod-borne viral fevers, not elsewhere classified
A93.0: Oropouche virus disease
Oropouche fever occurs in South America. It is caused by viruses. The viruses can be transmitted by a mosquito bite.
The illness can cause fever and headaches. The cerebral membranes may also be inflamed. On the outside of the brain and spinal cord there are three thin meninges (linings). A tough meninx, the dura mater, is on the outside. Below that are two soft meninges. If the cerebral membranes are inflamed, you may be sensitive to light and have a stiff neck.
