💨 Abstract

The United States has reported its first human death from bird flu, according to Louisiana's Department of Health. The patient, aged above 65 with underlying medical conditions, contracted H5N1 after exposure to a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds. No additional cases or evidence of person-to-person transmission have been identified. The public health risk remains low, but people working with birds, poultry, or cows are at higher risk.
