H5N1 Influenza

H5N1 infections can cause severe illness in humans and are associated with high mortality. This is the world's most prevalent bird flu, influenza. Causes symptomatic and asymptomatic infections in many vertebrate species, including ducks, geese, terns, chickens, quail, turkeys, pheasants, starlings, budgerigars, gibbons, baboons, chimpanzees, and humans I'm here. In many cases, bird flu in humans develops into a serious illness that requires timely treatment in the hospital and may require intensive care. We recommend that anyone working in the poultry industry follow biosecurity and infection control practices. This includes using proper personal protective equipment and paying close attention to hygiene. The antiviral drug oseltamivir can reduce the severity of the illness and prevent death. You should use it anyway.
