A New Hampshire resident has died from a rare mosquito-borne brain infection called Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). According to health officials on Tuesday, this death marks the state’s first known human case of the disease in a decade and the fifth this summer in the United States. This is also the U.S.’s first EEE death.
The patient, who was identified only as an adult from Hampstead, New Hampshire, a town in the state’s southeastern corner, tested positive for the equine virus (EEEV) and was hospitalized with severe central nervous system symptoms before death, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services, as reported by Reuters.
The case was announced after four nonfatal human EEEV infections were reported in the U.S. this year to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: one each in the neighboring New England states of Massachusetts and Vermont and one each in Wisconsin and New Jersey.
The last reported human EEEV case in New Hampshire was in 2014, when three infections were documented, two of them fatal. –Reuters
