Dr. Fauci was hospitalized about ten days ago after developing fever, chills, and severe fatigue; he spent a week in the hospital recovering from West Nile virus.
Fauci's spokesperson confirmed that he is now recovering at home, and is expected to make a full recovery following his West Nile virus infection.
As of Aug. 20, the CDC had recorded 216 cases of West Nile virus in 33 states this year, with prevention relying on avoiding mosquito bites.
West Nile virus spreads through mosquito bites; while most people are asymptomatic, serious illness can occur in about 1 out of 150 infected individuals.
