Fauci hospitalized with West Nile virus, now recovering at home

Fauci hospitalized with West Nile virus, now recovering at home

Anthony S. Fauci was hospitalized with West Nile virus this month, according to a spokesperson for the nation’s former top infectious-disease official.

Fauci, 83, ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades before he retired in 2022. He achieved unprecedented fame while enduring withering political attacks as the face of the coronavirus pandemic response under Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Fauci, 83, was hospitalized for six days before he returned home.

“Tony Fauci has been hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus. He is now home and is recovering. A full recovery is expected,” the spokesperson said.

West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne illness that can cause fever, body aches, diarrhea and rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are no vaccines or treatments for the virus.

Even though he left government nearly two years ago, Fauci has continued to face fierce political attacks from congressional Republicans for his role in the nation’s coronavirus response.

In June, he testified before a House panel investigating the response, with Republican lawmakers accusing him of orchestrating a coverup of the virus’s origins, which Fauci fiercely rejected as “simply preposterous.” The infectious-disease expert said Republicans have distorted emails between himself and other scientists as they discussed whether a laboratory leak of the coronavirus was possible.

After leaving government, Fauci joined the faculty at Georgetown University, where he serves as a distinguished professor in the School of Medicine. He also holds a position in the university’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

This summer, Fauci released a memoir called “On Call” that recounted his long career in public health and medicine, including the leading role he played in responding to the nation’s AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s, and his unlikely rise to fame and political notoriety as the face of the coronavirus response under President Donald Trump.
