Sera from 102 inpatients from the Volgograd region (64) and Krasnodar region (38) were tested for antibodies to West Nile (WN) virus in hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and for IgM and IgG antibodies in enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Diseases etiologically associated with WN virus were diagnosed in 81 patients: in 50 out of 64 in the Volgograd region and in 31 out of 38 in the Krasnodar region, which makes 79.4%. Specificity of antibodies to WN virus was confirmed in HI and EIA with WN antigens, related flaviviruses (Japanese encephalitis and yellow fever), and Sindbis alfavirus. A considerable number and the incidence of WN infection suggest that an epidemic caused by WN virus occurred in the Krasnodar and Volgograd regions in summer 1999. |
