Bird flu detected in person who had contact with infected dairy cattle in Texas
- consumer451 3y agohttps://archive.is/MwNL0 https://archive.is/MwNL0 > Human-to-human transmission of avian influenza A viruses is rare. Probable limited, non-sustained, human-to-human transmission has been reported in a small number of people without poultry exposures who had close unprotected exposure to a symptomatic index case of HPAI A(H5N1) virus infection, HPAI A(H7N7) virus infection, or LPAI A(H7N9) virus infection. Most reported cases of probable limited, non-sustained, human-to-human transmission have occurred among blood-related family members after unprotected, prolonged close household exposure to a symptomatic family member. However, a small number of reported cases occurred after unprotected, prolonged close exposure to a very sick family member in a hospital. A few cases of probable limited, non-sustained, human-to-human transmission in a hospital have been reported among unrelated patients after unprotected exposures. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/reported-human-infections.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/reported-human-infections.h...
