Saturday, August 10, 2002In Indiana, a 46-year-old woman who was hospitalized for four days with flu-like symptoms turned out to be infected with West Nile virus, said Dr. William Dannacher, the health officer for Wabash County. She has since recovered and been discharged, he said Normally, a case like that would be treated as an unspecified viral illness and no special testing would be done, especially since she recovered uneventfully. I doubt very much that her physicians also tested for other potential viral culprits. Let's face it, there are a host of infectious agents out there carried by insects. West Nile isn't the only one, and it isn't really much of a threat, either. posted by Sydney on 8/10/2002 01:38:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
