Maricopa County Reports its First West Nile Death of Season, Community Urged to ?Fight the Bite?

PHOENIX (July 21, 2017) ? The Maricopa County Department of Public Health is reminding the community to prevent mosquito bites with 19 human cases of West Nile virus infection reported this season, including one death. The individual who died was an older adult who also suffered from additional health issues. Sadly, older adults are most at risk for serious complications of West Nile virus.
?These tragic deaths serve as an important reminder to all of us to do our part in protecting ourselves, our families, and our neighborhoods from mosquito-borne diseases,? said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director of the Disease Control Division at Maricopa County Department of Public Health. ?With all the recent rain we?ve had, it?s likely we?ll see more mosquito activity. Apply insect repellent and cover up whenever you are outdoors, and do your part to rid your property of water where mosquitoes like to breed.?
West Nile virus is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. It can cause severe illness in people and horses, although only about 20 percent of those infected will develop any symptoms at all. Those who do develop symptoms usually report fever, headache, body aches, and muscle weakness. Rarely, individuals might experience more severe symptoms including high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, and/or encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain. These severe cases can lead to paralysis or death, and usually occur in those over 50 years old.
