H5N1 fowl flu, often known as avian influenza, continues to unfold, with experiences of a 3rd human case from an unknown publicity supply. To date, 67 instances have been confirmed, and one loss of life has been reported within the U.S.
"Most of the people are interacting with infected birds and animals, and there have been several cases where we don’t have a specific history of that individual interacting with an animal or a bird that might be infected," says Dr. Matthew Binnicker, director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic. "And that’s why we’re cautious and somewhat concerned because the question arises, how did those several individuals become infected?"
