As California bird flu outbreak worsens, a Missouri patient who caught it is alarming experts

Salon  

The H5N1 virus, also known as bird flu, has created an enduring crisis this year, massacring millions of birds and other wild animals, while stirring outbreaks in dairy farms across the U.S. As the number of confirmed bird flu cases continues to climb in various states across the country, many public health experts are anxiously awaiting results from testing performed in Missouri that will determine whether an infected individual passed the virus onto health care workers and a member of the household who later developed symptoms. In the Missouri case, contact tracing interviews with the infected person "detected that the household contact had been symptomatic with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea with a simultaneous onset of symptoms, implying a common exposure rather than human-to-human transmission," said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis the CDC’s Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at a media briefing. “Every time this virus goes from an animal to a human, it’s giving the virus one more chance to adapt to potentially get better at infecting humans,” Bhadelia told Salon in a phone interview. “The testing among dairy cattle is not very robust, and the amount of proactive action taken by certain states is not enough to give a lot of confidence that this is being handled properly.” Human cases are likely going under the radar as well, if, for example, infected people are not going through the health care systems where these cases are tracked, said Dr. Meghan Davis, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
