Abstract
The article presents data obtained during the observation of 18 children who had suffered fromWest Nileencephalitis. It is shown that WNE in theLower Volgaregion is characterized by extremely low morbidity in children. Unlike adults, the main clinical form of WNE in childhood is acute fever without damage to the central nervous system. The authors highlighted the leading clinical and laboratory syndromes: prolonged fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, high frequency of secondary purulent bacterial complications.
