Approximately 80 % of West Nile virus infections in humans are subclinical, which cause no symptoms.

In the cases where symptoms do occur – termed West Nile fever in cases without neurological disease – the time from infection to the appearance of symptoms ( incubation period ) is typically between 2 and 15 days.

The specific neurological diseases which may occur are West Nile encephalitis, which causes inflammation of the brain, West Nile meningitis, which causes inflammation of the meninges which are the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord, West Nile meningoencephalitis, which causes inflammation of the brain and also the meninges surrounding it, and West Nile poliomyelitis-spinal cord inflammation which results in a syndrome similar to polio, which may cause acute flaccid paralysis.

While the general prognosis is favorable, current studies indicate that West Nile Fever can often be more severe than previously recognized, with studies of various recent outbreaks indicating that it may take as long as 60 – 90 days to recover.
