摘要
During 2010, an outbreak of West Nile virus infection occurred in Greece. Atotal of 197 patients with neuroinvasive disease were reported, of whom 33 (17%) died. Advanced age and a history of heart disease were independently associated with death, emphasizing the need for prevention of this infection in persons with these risk factors.
