West Nile virus is a new challenge for transplant programs worldwide. It is a mosquito-borne disease, which has become increasingly prevalent in North America since it was first recognized in New York in 1999. A review of a case study and the literature shows that the morbidity and mortality associated with West Nile virus infection and transplant recipients are alarmingly high. Treatment options are limited because of transplant programs' limited experience in working with this virus. Transplant programs must develop action plans for education on West Nile virus and its prevention to decrease the risk of infection among their transplant recipients.
