The Department of Health is testing people meeting criteria
established collegially with the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Those criteria include testing blood and/or spinal fluid
samples from people with a fever greater than 100 degrees and with
altered mental status and with elevated levels of protein in their
spinal fluid and/or with muscle weakness. Together, these symptoms
are compatible with encephalitis, which can be caused by a number of viruses,
including West Nile. Only a West Nile test can confirm or rule out West
Nile virus infection. One should not assume that just because someone is
being tested for West Nile they have the virus.
