Abstract
Background seropositivity rates for specific antibodies to Jamestown Canyon Virus (JCV) can exceed 25 % in certain geographic areas in the United States. This can potentially lead to diagnostic confusion, as apparently illustrated by a patient from New Jersey with Powassan virus encephalitis, who also tested positive for antibodies to JCV.
