Overview

West Nile fever must be differentiated from other diseases that cause fever, skin rash, myalgias, and back pain, such as other viral infections due to rhinovirus, enterovirus D68, coxsackievirus, influenza, echovirus. Patients with severe WNV infection may present with meningitis, encephalitis, or flaccid paralysis. These diseases must be differentiated from other diseases that cause severe headache, altered mental status, seizures, and paralysis, such as herpes virus encephalitis, enterovirus encephalitis, bacterial encephalitis, metabolic encephalitis, poliomyelitis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
