Mexico Reports First Human Death from H5N1 Bird Flu
ai generated text
According to multiple reports, Mexico has recorded its first human death from the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The deceased is a three-year-old girl from Coahuila who died due to multiple organ failure. The exact cause of her contraction with the virus is unknown.
The human cases detected thus far are mostly linked to close contact with infected birds and other animals and contaminated environments.
This virus does not appear to transmit easily from person to person, and sustained human-to-human transmission has not been reported.
We are monitoring all individuals who had close contact with the patient and conducting tests to determine if they are infected. So far, no one has tested positive.
