前福克斯气象主播 Janice Dean 自曝确诊病毒性脑膜炎：从没病得这么重，可能要数月恢复
前福克斯新闻气象主播 Janice Dean 11月9日在 Instagram 发文，透露自己确诊病毒性脑膜炎。她写道：「我这段时间少上社交媒体，是因为我被诊断出病毒性脑膜炎。我从没病得这么重过，可能要几个月才能恢复。」现年56岁的她，今年7月刚因多发性硬化症加重，离开工作了20多年的晨间节目《Fox & Friends》。
她在帖文中感谢照顾她的人。她写道，感谢所有的医生、护士、孩子学校的老师、伸出援手的邻居、关心她的朋友和一直照顾她的家人，并说：「还有所有为我祈祷的人，祈祷正在起作用。」
据《人物》杂志报道，Dean 在整个10月多次进出医院，10月28日曾发文说这场病把她彻底击倒。她在 Substack 上写道，这次不适始于腿和脚的剧烈酸痛、疲惫和浑身不舒服，孩子们的小感冒很快就好了，但对患有自身免疫疾病的她来说，一个小病原也可能变成大麻烦，她每次生病都担心自己的多发性硬化症会恶化。
Dean 2005年确诊多发性硬化症。2026年6月25日，她宣布因病情加重将离开福克斯新闻，7月12日正式离任。据《人物》杂志援引克利夫兰诊所的说明，脑膜炎是围绕脑和脊髓的液体与薄膜发生的感染和炎症，症状可包括发烧、剧烈头痛、颈部僵硬、恶心和呕吐等。截至11月9日，Dean 没有公布预计完全康复的时间，也未说明这次感染从何而来。
Former Fox Meteorologist Janice Dean Reveals Viral Meningitis Diagnosis: I've Never Been This Sick Before
Former Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean revealed on Instagram on November 9 that she has been diagnosed with viral meningitis. "I've been taking a bit of a break from social media because I was diagnosed with viral meningitis," she wrote. "I've never been this sick before and it could take months to recover." Dean, 56, left the morning show Fox & Friends in July after more than 20 years, as her multiple sclerosis worsened.
In the post, she thanked the people who have been caring for her: the doctors, nurses, teachers at her kid's school, neighbors who have helped out, friends who have checked in, and her family. "And all of you who prayed for me, it's helping," she wrote.
According to PEOPLE, Dean spent October in and out of the hospital, and wrote on October 28 that the illness had knocked her off her feet. In a Substack post, she explained that her health troubles began with severe, achy pain in her legs and feet, exhaustion and an overall feeling of being unwell; her kids' little colds passed quickly, but as someone who lives with an autoimmune disease, she wrote, a little bug can turn into a monster, and every time she gets sick she worries her MS will get worse.
Dean was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. On June 25, 2026, she announced she would step away from Fox News for health reasons, and she retired on July 12. According to PEOPLE, citing the Cleveland Clinic, meningitis is an infection and inflammation of the fluid and membranes around the brain and spinal cord, with symptoms that can include fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, nausea and vomiting. As of November 9, Dean had not said when she expects to fully recover or how she contracted the infection.
