“…Chorioretinal lesions involving both eyes is the most common ocular manifestation 6. Most of these patients either do not have symptoms, have mild blurry vision, or a decrease in visual acuity 11. The clinical course is self-limited although their long term effects are unknown 6.…”

“…Patients with more serious ocular lesions (ie, optic atrophy, extensive chorioretinal lesions, retinal vasculitis, and occlusion) may result in substantial visual loss and persistent visual field deficit 12,6. Hematogenous dissemination of virus seeding the choroid, and direct spread of the virus from the central nervous system to retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid through optic nerve have been thought to cause chorioretinitis 11. Diabetes or age greater than 50 years are risk factors for more serious ocular manifestations of WNV infection 6.…”

West Nile virus is a neurotropic virus transmitted to humans via an infected mosquito bite. The increase in the incidences and fatalities of West Nile virus disease has made West Nile virus an important pathogen. Here we describe a case of a 65-year-old man with fever and diplopia presenting to the emergency department during a fall season and who was later diagnosed with West Nile virus infection. Diplopia is an uncommon manifestation of West Nile virus and recognition of the different modes of presentation, especially the uncommon ones like diplopia, will aid in the diagnosis of this emerging infectious disease.

The standardization of definitions for adverse events and reactions will be necessary to support the prevention and transmission of disease. International classification of a unique identification system for donors will be increasingly important for vigilance and traceability in cross-national exportation of human cells, tissues, and cellular- and tissue-based products. Opportunities for continuous improvement exist as does the need for constant vigilance and surveillance.
