In less than 1 percent of infected people, the virus causes a more serious neurological infection, such as inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or of the brain and surrounding membranes (meningoencephalitis), infection and inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis), and paralysis.

High fever
Severe headache
Stiff neck
Disorientation or confusion
Stupor or coma
Tremors or muscle jerking
