Patients with West Nile needed for clinical trial

Roger and Nancy DeBlauw began last summer like any other, enjoying time on their farm in Crofton, Neb. But their world changed in late July 2005 when Roger became critically ill after contracting West Nile virus. Now, he is participating in a National Institutes of Health-sponsored clinical trial of a potential treatment. The trial is being conducted regionally by UNMC.
