title: West Nile virus and the 2012 outbreak: The Baylor University Medical Center experience.
abstract: West Nile virus (WNV) has been responsible for multiple outbreaks and has shown evolution in its clinical manifestation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has provided diagnostic criteria in classifying the variety of WNV infection; however, application of these criteria can prove challenging during outbreaks, and understanding the array of presentations and patient population is clinically important. In this article, we present the challenges encountered during the 2012 outbreak at one institution.
