Two more West Nile cases reported in IA

September 18, 2004 By admin

More West Nile cases have been confirmed in Iowa. The two cases reported Friday by Iowa’s Public Health Department were in a central Iowa man in his 60s and a girl between ten and 19 years of age in central Iowa. This brings to 11 the total number of cases this summer; there were 147 last year. There’s also a second case of LaCrosse encephalitis, a form of mosquito-borne disease that’s been around for years but causes only a handful of cases of illness each season. Health authorities think West Nile is going to be the same as it’s following a pattern typical in eastern states, first appearing, rising in numbers fast for a couple of years, then dropping off just as fast to remain a constant but rare infection in years to come.
