Symptom #2: Fever

Fever is a common symptom of West Nile virus, and it may be mild or high. However, a fever can easily be confused as a sign of the flu, especially since several other West Nile virus symptoms, such as headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, and malaise, are also associated with the flu.

Patients should monitor their temperature and any other symptoms closely. If the fever does not seem to go away or additional symptoms like muscle weakness, disorientation, and tremors occur, go to the hospital immediately.
