West Nile virus is a potentially serious illness.
Experts believe West Nile Virus is established as a seasonal epidemic in
North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall.
This fact sheet contains important information that can help you recognize
and prevent West Nile virus. West Nile Virus affects the central nervous system. Symptoms vary. No Symptoms in Most People. Approximately 80 percent of people who are infected with West Nile Virus will not show any symptoms at all. Mild Symptoms in Some People. Up to 20 percent of the people who become infected will display mild symptoms, including fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Symptoms typically last a few days. Serious Symptoms in a Few People. About one in 150 people infected with West Nile Virus will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent. Infected Mosquitoes. Generally, West Nile Virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes are West Nile Virus carriers that become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread West Nile Virus to humans and other animals when they bite. Transfusions, Transplants, and Mother-to-Child. In a very small number of cases, West Nile Virus also has spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby. Not through touching. West Nile Virus is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person with the virus. People typically develop symptoms between 3 and 14 days after they are bitten by the infected mosquito.
There is no specific treatment for West Nile Virus infection. In cases with mild symptoms, people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own. In more severe cases, people usually need to go to the hospital where they can receive supportive treatment including intravenous fluids, help with breathing and nursing care.
Mild West Nile Virus illness improves on its own, and people do not necessarily need
to seek medical attention for this infection. If you develop symptoms of
severe West Nile Virus illness, such as unusually severe headaches or confusion, seek
medical attention immediately. Severe West Nile Virus illness usually requires
hospitalization. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are encouraged to talk
to their doctor if they develop symptoms that could be West Nile Virus. For most, risk is low. Less than 1 percent of people who are bitten by mosquitoes develop any symptoms of the disease and relatively few mosquitoes actually carry West Nile Virus. Greater risk for those outdoors a lot. People who spend a lot of time outdoors are more likely to be bitten by an infected mosquito. They should take special care to avoid mosquito bites. People over 50 can get sicker. People over the age of 50 are more likely to develop serious symptoms of West Nile Virus if they do get sick and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites.
Risk through medical procedures is low. The risk of getting West Nile Virus through blood transfusions and organ transplants is very small, and should not prevent people who need surgery from having it. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor before surgery.
Pregnancy and nursing do not increase risk of becoming infected with West Nile Virus.
The easiest and best way to avoid West Nile Virus is to prevent mosquito bites. To effectively control your mosquito population use the Mosquito Killing System.
