Sir,
West Nile (WN) virus is increasingly recognized as an important human pathogen in the North America. Meningitis or encephalitis develops in approximately 1 in 150 infected persons. Rare extraneurological manifestations include myocarditis, pancreatitis and hepatitis. Acute renal failure (ARF) is a very rarely reported manifestation of WN virus infection. We describe a case of reversible ARF secondary to biopsy-proven acute tubular necrosis (ATN)
