A member asked:
Can wnv cause meningitis? could the meningitis have been prevented by timely detection and treatment of wnv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, no: yes it can cause meningitis and encephalitis, there is no anti viral treatment to WNV, so the best prevention of WNV is vigilant use of insect repellent in areas where WNV is endemic.
