Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can cause neurological disease in humans.
  • WNV infection can manifest as meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid paralysis, including myelitis.

Observation:

  • This case report details the clinical course of a young woman with West Nile Virus myelitis.
  • The patient presented with neurological symptoms following WNV infection, despite a history of otherwise good health, aside from benign Duane syndrome and bipolar disorder.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent extensive in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation.
  • Remarkable recovery was observed following prolonged treatment, indicating the efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation strategies.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential severity of WNV myelitis, even in young, healthy individuals.
  • It underscores the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive, long-term rehabilitation for optimizing functional recovery in patients with WNV-related neurological complications.
