Here's what to know about Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), the rare, potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease that has sparked concern in the Northeastern U.S.
The man "was hospitalized due to severe central nervous system disease, and has passed away due to [the] illness," according to a statement from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). "There is no specific drug or antiviral that has proven effective in treating EEE." "Testing for encephalitis is still not very available outside of hospitals, and sometimes not accurate."
