Louisiana resident dies from avian influenza, marking the first human fatality in the country. The individual, over 65 years old with underlying health conditions, had been in contact with sick and dead birds at a backyard coop. Genetic analysis suggests the virus mutated within the patient, potentially leading to a more severe illness.
La gripe aviar cobró su primera vida en Estados Unidos, una persona de Luisiana que había permanecido hospitalizada por síntomas respiratorios graves, informaron las autoridades sanitarias del estado el lunes. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de Estados Unidos confirmaron que se trata del primer deceso en el país a causa de gripe aviar.
Los investigadores aún tratan de evaluar los peligros de la versión actual del virus y determinar qué es lo que provoca que afecte a algunas personas más que a otras, explicó. “Sólo porque hemos visto casos leves no significa que los casos futuros continuarán siendo leves”, agregó.
