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, was the director of 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 was hospitalized for six days before he returned home from the hospital this week.
“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.
