EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis)

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious disease caused by a virus. It is spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Only a few cases are reported in the United States each year. Most cases occur in eastern or Gulf Coast states. Although rare, EEE is very serious. Approximately 30% of people with EEE die and many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems.
