According to the ECDC case definition of WNV infections, the patients were classified as \u2018confirmed\u2019 or \u2018probable\u2019 cases.

Twenty-six cases (51%) were confirmed, and 49% were probable WNV infection. Forty-eight patients (94.1%) had WNV neuroinvasive disease: 24 (47%) were diagnosed with meningoencephalitis, 20 (39.2%) with encephalitis, one (2%) with meningitis, and seven (13.7%) with acute flaccid paralysis. Twenty patients (39.2%) had movement disorders (tremor, myoclonus, bradykinesia, or rigidity). The case fatality rate was 17.6%.
