Human influenza A H5N1 virus related to a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus

Lancet, The, 1998
In May, 1997, a 3-year-old boy in Hong Kong was admitted to the hospital and subsequently died from influenza pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, Reye's syndrome, multiorgan failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. An influenza A H5N1 virus was isolated from a tracheal aspirate of the boy.

Environmental Persistence of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) Virus

Environmental Science & Technology, 2010
Human cases of disease caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 subtype are rare, yet characterized with a mortality rate of approximately 60%. Tests were conducted to determine the environmental persistence of an HPAI (H5N1) virus on four materials (glass, wood, galvanized metal, and topsoil) that could act as fomites or ...

Similar transmissibility of the Italian H7N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus and its low pathogenic avian influenza virus predecessor

The Veterinary Journal, 2018
The transmissibility of the H7N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV), which caused a large epidemic in commercial poultry in Italy in 1999-2000, was studied in chickens and compared with that of the low pathogenic precursor virus (LPAIV).

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Infections in Humans

New England Journal of Medicine
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses have caused widespread infections in dairy cows and poultry in the United States, with sporadic human cases. We describe characteristics of human A(H5N1) cases identified from March through October 2024 in the United States.We analyzed data from persons with laboratory-confirmed A(H5N1) virus infection ...

Emergence of H7 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from low pathogenicity avian influenza virus

2017
Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) may result in the infection of millions of poultry, causing devastating disease and up to 100% mortality. Avian influenza outbreaks and laboratory experiments have shown that HPAIV can emerge from low pathogenicity avian influenza virus (LPAIV) precursors. The multi-basic cleavage site (MBCS)

Risk of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A/H5N1 Virus in Pediatrics

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society
Abstract Although the current risk of avian influenza A/H5N1 Virus infection in humans is low, children represent a high-risk group for severe disease as virus evolves. A/H5N1 vaccine development, clinical trials, and implementation strategies for infants and children should be prioritized.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) Virus in Feathers.

Veterinary pathology, 2017
H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus causes high mortality of infected birds, with infection in multiple organs, including in feathers. Feathers have been proposed as samples for diagnosis of HPAI infection in birds, and this study is part of a broader investigation validating the use of feathers for diagnostic purposes.

An Update on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus, Clade 2.3.4.4b

The Journal of Infectious Diseases
Abstract Since the resurgence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus, clade 2.3.4.4b, during 2021, these viruses have spread widely among birds worldwide, causing poultry outbreaks and infections of a wide range of terrestrial and marine mammal species.

Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus: Cause of the next pandemic?

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2009
Since 1997, when human infections with a highly pathogenic (HP) avian influenza A virus (AIV) subtype H5N1 - previously infecting only birds - were identified in a Hong Kong outbreak, global attention has focused on the potential for this virus to cause the next pandemic. From December 2003, an unprecedented H5N1 epizootic in poultry and migrating wild
