Our survey of 1502 U.S. healthcare providers found that about one-quarter (395 [26%]) ordered the correct laboratory tests to diagnose 2 patients with West Nile virus disease. Outreach is needed to educate healthcare providers on West Nile virus disease and diagnostic testing to better inform clinical management and patient prognosis.
