  • Louisiana West Nile virus case count continues to increase

    Six more West Nile cases reported, no new Zika cases



    October 31, 2016


    The Louisiana Department of Health is reporting six additional cases of West Nile virus in the state. There are no additional reported cases of Zika virus for this week. This brings the total West Nile virus cases to 36, with the Zika virus count remaining at 34 cases in 2016.

    Of the West Nile virus cases, three were asymptomatic; 12 were fever cases, a mild illness; and 21 were neuroinvasive disease, a severe illness that can lead to brain damage and death. Additionally, the department has learned of the first death related to West Nile virus in 2016. In order to protect patient privacy, the Louisiana Department of Health does not report West Nile deaths by parish.

    The CDC reports West Nile cases by state and nationally here. Louisiana reports arboviral disease, which includes West Nile and Zika, on a weekly basis here.
