💨 Abstract

A U.S. patient hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu has died, marking the first death from this outbreak in the country. The patient, an elderly individual with underlying medical conditions, contracted the virus after exposure to a mix of backyard chickens and wild birds. Since April, nearly 70 people in the U.S. have contracted bird flu, mainly livestock workers.
