A West Nile Virus Survivor

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The Centers for Disease Control says when someone is infected with the West Nile Virus, one of three things happen. 1 - There are no symptons. 2 - There is West Nile Fever. 3 - There is severe West Nile Disease such as Meningitis or Encephalitis.
Last year, 70-year old Willie Gay was stricken with the West Nile Virus and recovered to say "do not ignore" the symptons.
July 2005 was the first time Wille Gay was able to return home.
"I left in July and came back in July," says Gay.
For the past year the military veteran was in the battle of his life.
"I was sick and the doctors didn't think I would make it," says Gay.
Last Summer, Gay was sitting on his front porch, as he usualy does, and was bitten by mosquito.
Gay says, "When a mosquito bites you, its not the bite. It is what it leaves behind when it bites you."
A few days later Gay wasn't feeling well and visited a hospital emergency room. However he was discharged with a sinus infection.
But he said his condition got worse.
"I knew I was sick, I didn't know how sick," says Gay.
He made another trip to the hospital.
"I had a fever so bad, I couldn't break it."
And then they told him the diagnosis - he had the West Nile Virus.
"When they told me, I thought I was going to die," says Gay.
Gay had so many complications, at one point they called in his family. Eventually, he was moved to a Veterans Hospital for a lengthy stay.
He recovered.
"I'm blessed, I wasn't ready to die," says Gay.
How do you know if you've contracted the West Nile Virus?
Ruth Voss is an Epidemiologist Nurse.
She says you can have it and not know it. "That is very common from what we understand," says Voss.
If you have symptopns they would be fevers, headaches, stiffness around the neck.
Voss says you have to keep an eye on your condition.
"If you're not feeling well and your body temperature is not improving, call your doctor,"
says Voss.
Two years ago, the C-D-C concerned about misdiagnosis, cautioned doctors about confusing viral meningitis with the West Nile Virus.
The Duval County Health Department says prevention is the key. Here are some tips:
Use repellent containing DEET if you're outdoors.
Avoid being outdoors during dusk or dawn hours. That's when mosquitoes are most active.
Wear clothing that covers your skin.
Get rid of any standing water around your home.

Family of West Nile Virus Victim Speaks
Latricia Spencer
By Ken Amaro
First Coast News
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Letisha Spencer remembers her mother.
"She loved to cook," says Spencer.
And she loved to entertain her friends, family and neighbors.
Letisha Spencer says her mother would grill outdoors, ten feet from a ditch full of standing water.
Spencer believes her mom was grilling when she was bitten by a mosquito carrying West Nile Virus.
That was on a Sunday.
Two days later she was rushed to Shands Jacksonville.
LaTricia Spencer died one week later.
The family believes she was treated for viral meningitis, instead of West Nile Virus.
"They messed up, they did," says Spencer.
By law, Shands cannot discuss the patient's condition or treatment.
But the death captured news headlines and caused the Duval County Health Department to issue a West Nile Virus alert last Friday.
Spencer was also a diabetic and had no insurance.
"What we need the most is help to bury our momma," says Spencer.
The Spencer family is telling anyone who would listen, if you're going outdoors use insect repellent.
The city's Mosquito Control treated the ditch behind the Spencer's apartment, and plans to treat it again.
Shands is reportedly conducting an autopsy and will forward the cause of death in a death certificate to the funeral home.
Anyone who would like to help the family can contact the Vystar Credit Union on Dunn Avenue.

Dorothy Mahl, 88, was teacher in Covington
West Nile virus suspected
By Rebecca Goodman
Enquirer staff writer
FORT WRIGHT - Dorothy Burk Mahl, a retired teacher at John G. Carlisle School in Covington, died Friday evening at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood. The cause was West Nile virus, according to her brother, Willard Burk of Fort Thomas. The Fort Wright resident was 88.
She was a "very nice person, very friendly and smart," her brother said. After his wife died when his daughter, Carolyn Cruse of Villa Hills, was a child, Mrs. Mahl helped to raise her.
"Dorothy always was willing to take Carolyn - take her shopping or do anything with her. She was a second mother to my daughter."
Born in Covington to William and Alma Burk, Mrs. Mahl graduated from Eastern State Teachers College in Richmond. She taught fifth grade at Carlisle until about 20 years ago.
She liked to garden and to play bridge. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma and Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. She also was a member and former secretary of the Covington Art Club.
She became ill about 10 days ago. "She was very spry and did a lot of yard work," her brother said.
Northern Kentucky health officials say tests are being done to confirm that her death resulted from West Nile, which is carried by mosquitoes.
Mrs. Mahl's husband, Karl Mahl, died in 1985.
Survivors include her brother; a son, Karl Mahl Jr. of Trabuco Canyon, Calif.; a sister, Betty O'Toole of Crestview Hills; and one grandchild.
Visitation is 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. today followed by the funeral at Swindler & Currin Funeral Home, Latonia. Burial will be at Highland Cemetery in Fort Mitchell.

Ga. man dies from complications related to West Nile virus
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ga. - A 63-year-old retired house painter died from complications related to the West Nile virus, the first known death from the mosquito-born disease in Georgia this year.
Ellis "Junior" Holloway thought he had the flu, but died two weeks later, his family said. "He'd been ill, vomiting for about three or four days, before he went to the hospital," said Lois Gentry, Holloway's sister.
There have been 15 reported cases of the virus in Georgia this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Last year, the state had 22 human cases of West Nile virus, none of which were fatal, according to the Georgia Division of Public Health.
In most cases, the disease is spread from mosquitoes that have bitten infected birds. In a small portion of cases, the virus is spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants and breast-feeding, the CDC said.
Victims often suffer mild flu-like symptoms, but the virus can cause deadly inflammation of the brain.

Jim Stuerebaut-IL
Local man survives first Illinois confirmed 2005 West Nile case
BY TODD SHIELDS
STAFF WRITER
"It's like being struck by lightning," recalled Rolling Meadows resident Jim Stuerebaut, the first Illinois resident confirmed to have contracted West Nile virus in 2005.
"I enjoyed being outdoors, golf and working around the house," said Stuerebaut, 55, who works in the accounting office of a Chicago hotel.
"It all happened fast, and it has been very, very difficult. No one can know what this is like unless they have it. No one," Stuerebaut said last week in an exclusive interview with the Review.
Although the Cook County Department of Public Health has not been releasing the names and hometowns of county residents with West Nile virus, with Stuerebaut's permission, department spokeswoman Kitty Loewy confirmed his identity to the Review and his status as the state's first confirmed person to get the virus this year.
Fitted with a brace to help him walk, Stuerebaut still uses a wheelchair around his home. A yard ramp was built up to the front door. He works two days a week and attends physical therapy sessions the other three days.
He said he feels better, but the affliction's ceaseless strain on a person's will to be healthy and lively again is evident in his voice.
"I'm trying to adapt to this change and get back to a normal life," he said.
Because Stuerebaut had been camping this summer in south-central Michigan during the incubation period, the Cook County Department of Public Health cannot determine if he acquired the virus in Illinois.
Stuerebaut said he began having intense flu symptoms July 5, followed by a month's stay in a hospital, during which a laboratory for the Illinois Department of Public Health tested his blood.
Both he and his wife, Grace Gargantiel, continue to seek Web site information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, but no cures or vaccines have been developed.
"And we've contacted government offices in Springfield to no real avail. All you can do is spray yourself with bug repellent," she said. "Jim is getting better now. Before, he couldn't get out of bed, but now he can.
"It's a terrible disease, and we never really knew much about it and didn't care. Now we know how paralyzing West Nile can be."
Illinois Department of Public Health officials said symptoms usually occur 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito, and people older than 50 years are at highest risk. The most severe cases cause paralysis or death.
In suburban Cook County, 72 cases of West Nile virus have been reported this year. Four people with the virus have died, but three succumbed to other causes, Loewy said.
In Illinois, eight deaths have occurred among 218 reported cases this year. In 2002, Illinois counted more West Nile virus cases, 884, and deaths, 67, than any state in the nation.

John T. Phillips Jr., TX-Victim
Man's death linked to West Nile
Wylie: Results pending; daughter says he was ailing before diagnosis
12:00 AM CDT on Wednesday, October 19, 2005
By BILL LODGE / The Dallas Morning News
A Wylie man who died Saturday may be the first person to die from the West Nile virus in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this year, Collin County officials said Tuesday.
The man, identified by his family as John T. Phillips Jr., 78, spent three weeks at Medical Center of Plano before his death.
"Although preliminary lab reports indicated that this gentleman was not positive for WNV, lab results received today indicate otherwise," said Jamie Nicolay, the county's health educator. She said officials are not aware of another West Nile death this year.
Mr. Phillips' daughter, Gail Beltz, said Tuesday that her father was diagnosed as having the virus a week and a half ago. She received confirmation of the diagnosis from health officials Monday.
She said she thinks her father, who was already in poor health, was infected while planting bushes and watering shrubs at the home where he lived with his wife on Windsor Drive, just south of Lake Lavon.
"You just can't believe a mosquito bite can do this. It's just incomprehensible," Ms. Beltz said.
Ms. Nicolay said lab tests showed that Mr. Phillips had two West Nile antibodies – the state's requirement for declaring a case of the virus.
One Plano resident and one in Parker were diagnosed with West Nile this year. Both have fully recovered, Ms. Nicolay said.
Wylie officials said mosquitoes trapped in Mr. Phillips' neighborhood have not tested positive for the virus. They scheduled mosquito fogging from midnight until 5 a.m. today in four subdivisions – Kensington Manor, Harvest Bend, Pointe North and Meadowview estates.
Ms. Nicolay said infected mosquitoes have been trapped in Plano, McKinney, Richardson and unincorporated areas.
County officials said residents should eliminate standing water, use mosquito repellant that contains DEET and remain indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
Most people who come in contact with West Nile do not have adverse reactions.
Researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 80 percent of people infected with West Nile never develop noticeable illnesses.
Among those who do, however, about 0.75 percent develop life-threatening illnesses, such as encephalitis and meningitis, according to the CDC.

Alan Bugg, NM-Victim
Man who died from West Nile virus was from Tucumcari
Last Update: 10/19/2005 8:20:14 AM
By: Associated Press
TUCUMCARI, N.M. (AP) - A Tucumcari woman says she’s angry that the state Department of Health doesn’t do more to educate the public about the West Nile virus.
Catherine Bugg says she’s also upset the agency doesn’t do more to help put a stop to the mosquitoes that carry the disease.
Bugg says her husband, 50-year-old Alan Bugg, was the second New Mexican to die this year from a West Nile viral infection.
Bugg says the department just stated that a 50-year-old male died of a disease, but she says the male was a person, and she wants to put a face on it.
Alan Bugg, who survived a simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant in June, died October 7th.
Department officials say privacy laws permit them to disclose only the ages and home counties of West Nile virus victims.

Craig Beard, MT-Victim
Powell man first victim of West Nile in state
A 53-year-old Powell man died Oct. 4 in a Billings hospital of encephalitis derived from the West Nile virus.
The victim was Craig Baird.
”He was imuneocompromised,“ said Kelly Weidebach of Cheyenne, surveillance epidemiologist for the Wyoming Department of Health.
Barid's wife was quoted in press accounts saying her husband recently had a kidney transplant.
Weidenbach said the death was the first this year in Wyoming attributed to West Nile virus.
The incident was the seventh case of the illness confirmed in the state in 2005, she added.
The other victims all are recovering, although some still show symptoms, she added.
They are from Sheridan, Natrona, Goshen, Weston and Campbell counties.
Weidenbach said Park County residents have little to fear from West Nile virus at this time of the year.
”Since the weather has been getting colder, we feel this is the end of the West Nile season,“ she said.
Incubation of the disease usually is 3-14 days from the time an infected mosquito bites a victim, she added. That means Baird likely contracted the illness about Sept. 20, and probably in Park County.
Mosquitoes ”generally die off once we've had our first freeze“ or snowfall, she said.
”The risk is low“ at this late point in the season, which peaks in late July or in August.
Even among those bitten by infected mosquitoes, West Nile virus causes neurological invasive illness in less than one percent of victims, Weidenbach added.
Eighty percent of victims experience no symptoms at all, she said.
Since 2002, when West Nile virus first appeared in Wyoming, there have been 10 human deaths, counting Baird, Weidenbach said.
In 2002 there were two human cases and no deaths; in 2003 there were 393 cases and nine human deaths; in 2004 there were 10 cases; and this year there have been seven cases and one death.
