The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed last week that a third person in the U.S. has tested positive for a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.
The respiratory symptoms are a cause for concern, since it means the virus could spread more easily between humans and lead to more serious illness.
Of the three human cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza found in the U.S. this year, we know most about the Texas patient, since researchers quickly published a case report in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Some have speculated that their infection might have been brought on by getting infected milk in their eye.
