West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes and can cause mild flu-like symptoms or, in severe cases, brain infections. Currently, there is no specific medication to treat the infection, and doctors primarily provide supportive care. In this study, patients who are sick enough to require hospitalization will receive plasma donated by people who have recovered from West Nile virus and developed high titer neutralizing antibodies against the disease. Researchers will closely monitor these patients to see how quickly their symptoms improve and whether the plasma helps reduce the risk of death or shorten hospital stays. To evaluate how well the plasma works, researchers will c
