West Nile virus infection presenting as cerebellar ataxia and fever: case report
Karthikeyan Kanagarajan et al. South Med J. 2003 Jun.
Abstract
Evidence of West Nile encephalitis virus infection has been documented in most states of the continental United States within a short period of its first introduction in 1999. Health care providers are mostly aware of the usual presentations of this disease, eg, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. We present a patient whose only manifestations were cerebellar ataxia and fever.
