Dr. Anthony Fauci was hospitalized for six days earlier this month with the West Nile virus and is now recovering at home, according to a report.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the public face of the U.S. coronavirus pandemic response, was hospitalized earlier this month with the West Nile virus , according to a report citing his spokesperson. Fauci, 83, was hospitalized for six days before he returned home where he is now recovering, The Washington Post reports.
The virus first entered the U.S. in 1999, and it has become the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the country, per the CDC. Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea or rash, although a vast majority — around 80% — of the people who contract WNV will not experience any symptoms. There are no vaccines or treatments for the virus.
