	abstract = {West Nile virus (WNV) can cause severe, potentially fatal neurological illnesses, which include encephalitis, meningitis, Guillain-Barr{\'e} syndrome, and anterior myelitis. Because of the short viremic phase, WNV infection is most commonly diagnosed by detection of immunoglobulin M antibody to WNV in serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We describe a patient with T cell lymphoma who had undergone a T cell-depleted bone marrow transplantation and developed fatal WNV infection. The results of serological tests of blood samples and of CSF tests were negative. Diagnosis was made postmortem by a positive result of reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (ABI 7700; TaqMan) for WNV in stored CSF and serum samples.},
