Dr. Anthony Fauci was briefly hospitalized after contracting West Nile virus, a spokesperson said. Fauci, 83, who was chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, became a household name during the Covid pandemic. Fauci left as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 2022. 'Tony Fauci has been hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus. He is now home and is recovering,' a spokesperson said in a statement Saturday.
24, there were 216 human West Nile cases reported in 33 states. Of those cases, 142 were neuroinvasive, meaning people developed a severe form of the disease such as inflammation of the brain or the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These cases typically require hospitalization. Several hundred to several thousand cases are reported in the United States each year. Most cases are reported in August and September.
