Clinical Spectrum and CSF Findings in Patients with West-Nile Virus Infection, a Retrospective Cohort Review.

West Nile Virus (WNV) infection is a world-wide zoonotic disease transmitted by mosquitoes.

Recently, the incidence of WNV infection in Europe had seen a sharp increase, as compared to previous years.
