Most of the time, infection with West Nile virus makes people mildly ill. A person may experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and sometimes skin rash and swollen glands. More severe infection can result in encephalitis, which includes symptoms of severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, and sometimes convulsions. Although very rare, severe West Nile infection in healthy, younger people can be fatal, but the elderly are at greatest risk for severe complications.
The incubation period for West Nile virus is usually 5 to 15 days. In the northern United States, infections occur mainly in the summer and early fall, but in the warmer southern regions, the virus can be transmitted all year.
Older hikers and those with compromised immune systems have the greatest risk.
