Symptom #4: Rash

A rash could be a symptom of West Nile virus. This rash will usually appear as raised lesions on a small part of the skin and is considered a mild sign of West Nile virus infection. While the rash usually appears on the torso, in some cases, it appears on other parts of the body, including the neck, head, chest, back, arms, and legs.

The rash may also spread to other parts of the skin. It is worth noting that not everyone who has West Nile virus will get a rash, but this symptom is still a common sign.
