West Nile encephalitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Mild infections of the virus are more common and include fever, headache, and body aches, usually accompanied by a skin rash and swollen lymph glands. Severe infections can be manifested by headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions, paralysis and, rarely, death.
The incubation period for West Nile encephalitis is anywhere from 5 to 15 days after exposure. Most patients who are bitten by an infected mosquito won’t develop symptoms. It's estimated that only 1 in 300 people who are bitten by an infected mosquito will actually get sick.

Inclusion conjunctivitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Inclusion conjunctivitis develops 5 to 12 days after contamination (it takes longer to develop than gonococcal ophthalmia). In a neonate, reddened eyelids and tearing with moderate mucoid discharge are presenting symptoms. In neonates, pseudo-membranes may form, which can lead to conjunctival scarring. In adults, follicles appear inside the lower eyelids; such follicles don’t form in infants because the lymphoid tissue isn’t yet well developed. Children and adults also develop preauricular lymphadenopathy, and children may develop otitis media as a complication. Inclusion conjunctivitis may persist for weeks or months, possibly with superficial corneal involvement.

Encephalitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
All viral forms of encephalitis have similar clinical features, although certain differences do occur.
Usually, the acute illness begins with sudden onset of fever, headache, and vomiting and progresses to include signs and symptoms of meningeal irritation (stiff neck and back) and neuronal damage (drowsiness, coma, paralysis, seizures, ataxia, and organic psychoses). After the acute phase of the illness, coma may persist for days or weeks.
The severity of arbovirus encephalitis may range from subclinical to rapidly fatal necrotizing disease. Herpes encephalitis also produces signs and symptoms that vary from subclinical to acute and commonly fatal fulminating disease. Associated effects include disturbances of taste or smell.

West Nile encephalitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Mild WNV infections are more common than severe infections and include symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, often accompanied by swollen lymph glands and a skin rash. Severe infections present with symptoms such as headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions, paralysis and, rarely, death.
The incubation period for West Nile encephalitis is 5 to 15 days after exposure.
CLINICAL TIP: Researchers estimate that only 1 in 300 people who are bitten by a mosquito infected with WNV actually develops the disease.

Inclusion conjunctivitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Inclusion conjunctivitis develops 5 to 10 days after contamination (it takes longer to develop than gonococcal ophthalmia). In neonates, the lower eyelids redden and a thick, purulent discharge develops. In children and adults, follicles appear inside the lower eyelids; such follicles don’t form in infants because the lymphoid tissue isn’t yet well developed. Children and adults also develop preauricular lymphadenopathy and — as complications, otitis media and, occasionally, interstitial pneumonia.
Inclusion conjunctivitis may persist for weeks or months, possibly with superficial corneal involvement. In neonates, pseudomembranes may form, which can lead to conjunctival scarring.

Measles (Rubeola, First Disease):
Measles - signs & symptoms
(The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult)
- The disease involves fever, cough, conjunctivitis, or coryza with an erythematous rash, which has a characteristic progression.
- The rash appears on the face (often the nape of the neck, initially) and abdomen 14 days after exposure. The rash is erythematous and maculopapular and spreads from the head to the feet often becoming confluent at the more proximal sites.
- Pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly may accompany the rash.
- Atypical measles:
- This group of young adults (2nd and 3rd decades of life) may become quite ill, with sudden onset of fever from 103–105°F associated with headache. The rash, unlike typical measles, appears 1st on the distal extremities and progresses in a cephalad direction.
- Virtually all patients with atypical measles have respiratory distress with clinical and radiographic signs of pneumonia, often with pleural effusions.
- Diagnosis depends on recognition and on acute and convalescent measles antibody titers.
