We present a case of initial seronegative West Nile virus encephalitis in an immunocompromised child due to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Although diagnostic guidelines for West Nile virus infection exist, we highlight that these may not be met in immunocompromised patients who may have a delayed immune response.
我们报告了一例免疫功能低下儿童的西尼罗河病毒脑炎初发血清阴性病例,该儿童患有 B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病。尽管存在西尼罗河病毒感染的诊断指南,但我们强调,这些指南可能不适用于免疫功能低下的患者,因为他们可能存在延迟的免疫反应。
