West Nile virus (WNV) infection was biologically confirmed by detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) reactive with WNV antigens in both cerebrospinal fluid and serum, and weak neutralizing activity was also detected. A veterinary survey performed in her traveling area showed a seroprevalence of WNV of 28.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 21.1\u201336.3) in adult poultry, confirming an active circulation of the virus. Development of a severe form could be related to a weak antibody response, because the patient presented low IgM and IgG titers. This case report underlines the constant risk of emergence of West Nile in Indian Ocean territories, including Reunion Island where competent vectors are widely present during the whole year.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.12-0003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,11]],"date-time":"2013-06-11T02:46:52Z","timestamp":1370918812000},"page":"211-213","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["A
