What Does WNME Stand For?

WNME stands for West Nile Meningoencephalitis

WNME, or West Nile Meningoencephalitis, is a neurological condition caused by the West Nile virus, primarily affecting the brain and its surrounding structures. It is characterized by inflammation of the meninges and brain tissue, leading to symptoms such as fever, headache, confusion, and neurological deficits. WNME is typically transmitted through mosquito bites and can result in severe complications, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective management and favorable outcomes.
