💨 Abstract

An 11-year-old boy in Cambodia died from H5N1 bird flu, the fourth fatal case in the country this year. The boy had contact with sick poultry. Health officials are investigating and distributing medication like Tamiflu. The ministry urges anyone with symptoms to seek medical help immediately. Globally, there have been 10 confirmed bird flu cases this year, half of them fatal. Bird flu is relatively rare in humans and untransmitted through food.
