Third U.S. dairy worker comes down with avian flu; officials monitoring farm

LA Times  

Officials announced Thursday that a third U.S. dairy worker has been infected by avian flu, or H5N1. Federal officials said that unlike the first two U.S. cases — whose symptoms were limited to conjunctivitis, or pink eye — this person presented with more typical flu-like respiratory symptoms. They’ve also issued roughly 17,000 PCR tests for cattle — although, that does not mean 17,000 individual cows were tested, said Eric Deeble of the United States Department of Agriculture. The latest dairy worker had been exposed to H5N1-infected cows and reported flu symptoms to local health officials.
