摘要：

West Nile fever has now spread to much of the United States. This disease can be diagnosed using one of several laboratory tests, notably an immunoglobulin M enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It can cause devastating neurologic damage, including an unusual polio-like syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging is an important imaging tool in such patients. Treatment is largely supportive, although antiviral agents are under investigation.
