There have been six human cases reported in DuPage County in 2023.
West Nile Virus is transmitted to people by infected mosquitos. Approximately one in five infected people will develop fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Less than one percent will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis .
People over the age of 60 and those with cancer, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and organ transplants are at greater risk for severe illness and rarely may progress to coma and death. "We are saddened to report the first two deaths from West Nile Virus in DuPage County for 2023," said Adam Forker, Executive Director of the DuPage County Health Department."Please make sure to protect yourself and loved ones from mosquito bites and reduce your exposure." Drain those items that collect standing water around your home, yard, or business. Scrub and refill pet water dishes and bird baths regularly.
