Pranee Family Infections in Thailand
The mother had traveled from Bangkok to visit her daughter hospitalized in northern Thailand and then attend her funeral. The mother came back to Bangkok where she developed symptoms and died. The 11 year old was also cared for by her 30 year old aunt, who has also developed symptoms, including severe pneumonia. The latest media report indicates that a 3 year old family member has also developed symptoms as well as the 6 year old son of the aunt.
Although chickens linked to the 11 year have died, there is no linkage between chickens and the 26 year old mother or the 30 year old aunt.
