Abstract:
:We describe a case of West Nile virus (WNV) infection in an HIV-infected patient who presented with an isolated flaccid monoparesis of the right upper extremity. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of flaccid paralysis caused by WNV infection in an HIV-infected patient. We then review the medical literature on WNV infection occurring among patients who are infected with HIV. Unlike most of the cases reported in the literature, our patient had partial recovery of his neurologic deficits.
