Historical public-health report, published from archived WKRG coverage.
The Baldwin County Health Department reported in September 2007 that a child from Gulf Shores had tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis, according to an archived WKRG report.
The report said the child was being treated at a Mobile hospital and that the child’s age was not released. It identified mosquitoes as the disease vector and described the seriousness of EEE.
This is a historical account of a 2007 public-health report, not a current outbreak notice or medical guidance. For current mosquito-borne illness information, use guidance from current public-health authorities and contact a qualified clinician for medical concerns.
