For eastern equine encephalitis EEE , the time from infected mosquito bite to onset of illness incubation period ranges from 4 to 10 days. EEE can result in febrile illness fever or neurologic disease, including meningitis infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord or encephalitis infection of the brain.

The type of illness will depend on the age of the person and other factors. Some people who become infected with EEE virus may be asymptomatic will not develop any symptoms. Febrile illness is characterized by fever, chills, body aches, and joint pain.

The illness lasts 1 to 2 weeks, and most people recover completely when there is no central nervous system involvement. Signs and symptoms of neurologic disease include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes, drowsiness, and coma. In infants, neurologic disease often occurs soon after onset; in older children and adults, encephalitis may occur after several days of systemic illness.
