A 47-yeаr-оld, mаrried, mаle named Rick Harrisоn presents tо the ED at 2223 hours. He is an engineer for a large firm in the United States. He stated that he recently came back from a business trip in Central Asia where he had been working on a new water infrastructure project. He states that he worked mainly outdoors, supervising project sites. Rick also says he felt fine for most of the trip, but shortly, before leaving to travel home, he felt a little sick. Upon further questioning, the patient states that he decided to come to the ED because, over the past few days, he had a persistent headache that had become unbearable; and his wife stated that he had become slightly confused and disoriented that evening. Another issue Rick has is nausea, to the point where he has been vomiting, which further exacerbates his headaches. The patient, when asked, states that he has been more tired than usual, and has been experiencing diarrhea. The physician discovered that the patient also has neck swelling and stiffness. Since the patient has a swollen, stiff neck and severe headaches, the ER physician schedules an MRI, so that a very detailed image can be obtained. The MRI reveals inflammation of the brain. The doctor then orders a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) to examine the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord to see if any antibodies are present. Antibodies are special proteins that develop in the blood to fight off foreign bodies such as bacteria and viruses that enter the bloodstream. When the spinal tap results come back from the lab it shows that the patient has meningitis, and West Nile Virus. West Nile Virus is transmitted to humans via mosquitos, and is found in certain areas of the world. Currently in the United States, the West Nile Virus is an endemic, but at one time it was an epidemic. The incubation period for the virus, once it enters the body, can vary from 2 to 14 days; however, it is typically 2 to 6 days. Although, there is currently no treatment for West Nile Virus the patient was treated with IV fluids and pain killers (analgesics) and other supportive care. Rick was lucky to survive with no after effects, most do not encounter neurologic effects. Only 1 percent of all cases will become severe enough to have neurological involvement, and 10 percent of those patients with severe cases will die. It can take months to fully recover, and even then, some patients may suffer from permanent effects. What would it mean, if the West Nile Virus were an endemic?
