Houston man hospitalized with West Nile virus

Thursday, August 30, 2007

A local man is the third confirmed case of West Nile virus in our area in 2007.

Roy Metcalf is in critical condition in a Tomball Hospital. His family tells us they think Metcalf was bitten by an infected mosquito in the Jersey Village earlier this month. They also say his condition is improving, but he is still unable to communicate with them.

Crews continue to spray parts of Harris County where infected mosquitoes have been found.
