West Nile Virus infection in a renal transplant recipient resulting in polioencephalomylelitis, quadriplegia, and global brain atrophy

An immunosuppressed man developed rapidly progressive neurologic symptoms resulting in quadriplegia. On magnetic resonance imaging multiple areas of abnormal enhancement were observed in the brain, and spinal cord. Serologic evidence of West Nile Virus (WNV) was discovered in the cerebrospinal fluid...

description An immunosuppressed man developed rapidly progressive neurologic symptoms resulting in quadriplegia. On magnetic resonance imaging multiple areas of abnormal enhancement were observed in the brain, and spinal cord. Serologic evidence of West Nile Virus (WNV) was discovered in the cerebrospinal fluid. This report highlights the catastrophic complications of WNV in an immunocompromised host.
