| Immune activation was described in the earliest cases based on swollen lymph nodes, or "lymphadenopathy," something typically associated with activation of the immune system that occurs just transiently during acute infections (with the flu or the measles, for example). Symptoms include fever, headache, body ache and swollen lymph nodes but 80 percent of West Nile victims show no symptoms at all. They first identified it in 2003 in swollen lymph nodes removed from a 39-year-old man. |
