Recombinomics Commentary
October 8, 2005
A poultry breeder in Hungary is also suspect of avian influenza.
The media report citing three human cases in Ceamula de Jos, also cites another human case in Hungary. Additional H5N1 wild bird flu infections in Europe would not be unexpected. There have already been reports of poultry deaths in Romania and Turkey, so infections in Hungary would not e a surprise.
However, these are the first reported human cases linked to H5N1 wild bird flu.
More information on these initial reports would be useful.
