A study of 98 people identified as having West Nile fever found that the symptoms were more serious and lasted longer than previously described (Annals of Internal Medicine, Article, p. 360).
West Nile fever is caused by infection by West Nile virus but is not accompanied by neurologic disease, such as meningitis or encephalitis. In the study, common symptoms were fatigue, muscle weakness, headache, difficulty concentrating, and fever.
Almost a third of the patients were hospitalized from one to 56 days; 79 percent of those who attended school or work missed days because of the infection. The median time to recover was 60 days.
Previous characterizations of West Nile fever were that its symptoms were mild and lasted three to six days.
