After that test result, the state enlists local county health agencies to follow up.


We obtained a copy of the form local health agencies follow up with.

As of Thursday, state health officials could not tell us why positive tests don't always result in a reported case through their agency.
They tell us they are working to find that answer for us as soon as they can.

He says even though he tested positive, the CDC rejected the results because it was not a severe enough case.

?They said we are only recording cases that are severe. And I thought why would they be under reporting the number of West Nile cases??
