A Cook County resident has died of West Nile virus, marking the first death from the illness in Illinois this year, according to the state health department.
The person was in their late 70s and became ill in August, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The virus contributed to the person’s death.
Dead mosquitoes and other insects were collected from a trap in a heavily wooded area and taken to the Northwest Mosquito Abatement lab on July 14, 2021, in Wheeling. Abatement crews were working to track the increase in insects following heavy rains and monitor for West Nile virus.
