California boy, 13, severely ill from rare disease
A 13-year-old boy from Long Beach has contracted West Nile virus, leading to a rare neurological condition called transverse myelitis that has left him unable to move his legs and suffering from loss of bladder and bowel control. His symptoms worsened rapidly after a mosquito bite, resulting in three weeks of hospitalization and a challenging recovery ahead. The family is seeking support as health officials report a surge in severe West Nile cases in Los Angeles County, which has had the highest number of infections early in mosquito season in a decade.
