    This case highlights neuroinvasive West Nile Virus (WNV) infection, emphasizing diagnostic challenges like normal imaging and negative initial serology. Repeat testing and specific antibody identification are crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Neuroinvasive West Nile Virus (WNV) infection presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Early detection is critical for patient outcomes and public health surveillance.
    • Understanding WNV pathogenesis aids in developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

    Observation:

    • The presented case exhibited typical features of neuroinvasive WNV infection.
    • Initial diagnostic imaging revealed minimal or no abnormalities.
    • Early-stage serological tests for WNV were negative, necessitating repeat testing.

    Findings:

    • Specific antibodies are now available for identifying viral proteins in tissue samples.
    • The sensitivity of antibody detection can be influenced by the stage of infection and tissue sampling.
