Fauci is expected to make a full recovery, a spokesperson said.
CAROLYN THOMPSONDr. Anthony Fauci, the former top U.S. infectious disease expert, is recovering at home after he spent time in the hospital for West Nile virus.
Fauci is expected to make a full recovery, the spokesperson said on condition of anonymity due to security concerns. CBS News' chief medical correspondent, Dr. Jonathan LaPook, wrote in a social media post that he spoke Saturday with Fauci, who said he was likely infected from a mosquito bite that he got in his backyard.
As chief White House medical adviser, Fauci was the public face of the U.S. government during the COVID-19 pandemic, a role that made him both a trusted voice to millions and also the target of partisan anger. He left the government in 2022 but was back before Congress in June to testify as part of Republicans' yearslong investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and the U.S. response to the disease.
