Hallucinations mean the patient is seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, or smelling something that is not there. This happens when the virus leads to encephalitis, and because the brain is inflamed, it can’t work properly. One of the results is disorders in the patient’s sensory input. The West Nile virus is a neurotropic virus, which means it attacks the nervous system and indeed prefers to attack the nervous system above any other system in the body. If a patient is going to hallucinate, the hallucinations will probably appear a few days after flu-like symptoms appear.
