Anthony Fauci was hospitalized after being infected with the potentially deadly West Nile Virus.

Fauci, the former longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is now back at home getting treatment.

Fauci, 83, who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, is expected to make a full recovery, a spokesperson told CNN.

The West Nile virus is the most common mosquito-spread disease in the continental US, with a median of over 2,200 cases being reported every year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
