West Nile Virus-Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: A 62-year-old patient was hospitalized in Geneva, Switzerland, with an atypical manifestation of West Nile virus infection. Initially, he sought care for febrile diarrhea and vomiting; his condition deteriorated and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and meningoencephalitis developed. Corticosteroids improved his condition. We used high-throughput sequencing and ophthalmologic findings to diagnose West Nile virus.
