title: 2004 California pediatric West Nile virus case series.
abstract: Relatively few pediatric West Nile virus cases have been recognized in the United States since the virus was first identified in 1999. We reviewed the clinical characteristics of 23 cases in pediatric patients that occurred in California in 2004 to better understand the infection in this population.
