Toscana virus (TOSV) is a common cause of meningitis in Mediterranean area. However, rare publications reported extra-meningeal signs. We report the third case of testicular pain associated with TOSV meningitis despite the fact that there is no evidence of semen involvement in other well-known arboviruses, except in Zika virus.
