Health department urges caution as additional cases of West Nile virus reported The DuPage County Health Department announced on Wednesday, Sept. 5, that there are now six human cases of West Nile virus (WNV) that have been reported in the county in 2018. This is an in-
crease of four human cases since earlier this month, and it is anticipated that the numbers will continue to increase over the coming weeks. The Health Department’s Person-
al Protection Index (PPI) remains at Level 3 (high risk) because of the number of mosquito batches testing positive for WNV. Level 3 indicates high numbers of infected mosquitoes in most ar-
eas, and multiple human cases of WNV disease in DuPage County. View the PPI at dupagehealth.org. Anyone who experiences symptoms that cause concern should contact their health care provider.
The Health department continues to monitor WNV activity by collecting and testing mosquitoes from traps located throughout the county from May through October, the West Nile virus season.
