Contaminated Soil and Transmission of Influenza Virus (H5N1)
Our reply supplies supplementary clinical and laboratory fi ndings that could be useful for discussion. During our patient’s hospitalization, we were able to investigate 6/8 diagnostic criteria for HLH proposed by the Histiocyte Society (3). Of these, only 2 or 3 were found: persistent fever at 38.5°C; hypertriglyceridemia at 267 mg/dL (analysis performed at day 7); and cytopenias, which prefer...
متن کاملZoonotic Transmission of Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1), Egypt, 2006–2009
During March 2006-March 2009, a total of 6,355 suspected cases of avian influenza (H5N1) were reported to the Ministry of Health in Egypt. Sixty-three (1%) patients had confirmed infections; 24 (38%) died. Risk factors for death included female sex, age > or = 15 years, and receiving the first dose of oseltamivir >2 days after illness onset. All but 2 case-patients reported exposure to domestic...
متن کاملAirborne transmission of influenza A/H5N1 virus between ferrets.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but thus far has not acquired the ability to be transmitted by aerosol or respiratory droplet ("airborne transmission") between humans. To address the concern that the virus could acquire this ability under natural conditions, we genetically modified A/H5N1 virus by site-directed mutagenesis and subsequen...
متن کاملAvian Influenza H5N1 Transmission in Households, Indonesia
BACKGROUND Disease transmission patterns are needed to inform public health interventions, but remain largely unknown for avian influenza H5N1 virus infections. A recent study on the 139 outbreaks detected in Indonesia between 2005 and 2009 found that the type of exposure to sources of H5N1 virus for both the index case and their household members impacted the risk of additional cases in the ho...
متن کاملThe Pause on Avian H5N1 Influenza Virus Transmission Research Should Be Ended
A voluntary 60-day pause on avian H5N1 influenza virus transmission research was announced in January 2012 by the international community of influenza scientists engaged in this work to provide time to explain the benefits of such work and the risk mitigation measures in place. Subsequently, the pause was extended to allow for time for review of the biosafety and biosecurity conditions. After a...
