摘要：

Reports of clinical manifestations of West Nile virus (WNV) infections in children have been relatively rare. Four cases of WNV infection in children are described: the first report of prolonged encephalitis and fulminant hepatitis caused by WNV, and 3 other presentations of WNV, including the first report of ocular involvement in a child.
