CSF Findings in 250 Patients with Serologically Confirmed West Nile Virus Meningitis and Encephalitis Neurol 66:361-365, Tyler,K.L.,et al, 2006 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Serologically confirmed West Nile virus meningitis and encephalitis produce similar degrees of CSF pleocytosis and are frequently associated with substantial CSF neurotrophilia. Patients with encephalitis have higher CSF protein concentrations and are more likely to have adverse outcomes, including admission to long-term care facilities or even death after their acute illness. CSF findings were only a modest predictor of disease outcome, with patient age adding important independent prognostic information.
