Abstract

Little is known about the risk of transplacental transmission of congenital West Nile virus (WNV) infection and about the possible spectrum of manifestations of such infection in infants. Neurologic abnormalities and developmental delays may result from congenital infection with WNV. We update the case of an infant who was bore during the 2002 WNV epidemic season to a mother with West Nile meningoencephalitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
