The CDC confirmed the United States' first severe case of H5N1 avian influenza, in a Louisiana resident over 65 years old with underlying health conditions.
This critical case is linked to sick and dead birds in backyard flocks, marking a significant development in U.S. avian influenza infections.
Despite the severe case, the CDC states the overall risk of H5N1 to the public remains low, with no related deaths reported in the country.
Infection sources in most human cases this year were primarily linked to agricultural exposure, highlighting the nature of transmission from poultry and cattle farms.
