this girl He became ill on Feb. 16 with high fever, cough and sore throat following being treated at a local hospital. then the symptoms do not improve Have unusual shortness of breath Before being sent for further treatment at the National Children’s Hospital in Phnom Penh on February 21.
The doctor sent the sample for examination. And the results came out the next day and found that it was H5N1 avian influenza and the patient died.
During H5N1 outbreaks in many mammals and in many areas, Animal-to-human infection in regions close to Thailand Therefore, it is something that must be seriously monitored. Infection has improved in mammals. Personally, I’m worried regarding the pigs. Because pigs are living organisms that can infect well with influenza viruses and can be a source of new virus strains. Like the 2009 influenza case, it also passed from swine to human.”
