found in a teenage boy, health officials
said last Friday.

the disease last month when bitten by
an infected mosquito, said Dr. Mel
Kohn, the state epidemiologist.
Kohn declined to identify the teen
ager, who went to an emergency room

had an infection like this tends to be
much worse," he said.
The teen was from Vale, in remote
Malheur County, where more than half
of Oregon's 30 confirmed West Nile
cases have been detected in horses and
birds this summer.
West Nile virus rarely kills. About 1
in 150 people who get it will develop
potentially deadly encephalitis or men
ingitis. Health officials had been predicting
the arrival of the disease in Oregon
for some time. There have been hu
man cases in most other states.
A third meeting is scheduled for Jan.
30 at Simnasho Longhouse.
Topics associated with vegetation
management will include
precommercial thinning, fuels reduction
and mistletoe treatments.
All of the meetings start at 6 p.m.
Refreshments will be served.
