This week, it was announced that a 32 year old Californian man was diagnosed with the first case of the West Nile Virus. It is not entirely known where or how he contracted the virus, but he is out of the hospital and recovering now. While in the hospital, he suffered from a high fever and persistent headaches. The gentleman went an entire month with these symptoms prior to finally going to the doctor to have them examine him.
It is advised that anyone that has these symptoms for the same amount of time as he had, that they need to go to the doctor as soon as possible. Thanks to the proper treatments and rehabilitation, the man was released from the hospital on Monday, September 17. He seems to be in good spirits, and is looking forward to his full recovery.
