Descriptive graphs and survival curves. (A) The upper left panel shows the apple-pie graph of WNV infection; 71% of patients had a WNVND, while 29% did not have a documented spread to central nervous system. (B) The upper right panel reports a scatter plot of serum IgG, IgA, and IgM immunoglobulin levels in patients with (n = 15) and without WNVND (n = 6). Immunoglobulins were measured once for each patient within 30 days before WNV infection. Cases with WNVND had significantly lower immunoglobulin levels as assessed by Mann-Whiteney U test. the lower panels report the overall survival of the whole cohort (C) and the WNV-related survival in patients with and without WNVND (D). Patients with WNVND have a short WNV-related survival (P = 0.0463). WNV = West Nile virus, WNVND = West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease.
