Abstract
|
|
|
Case report on human infection with avian influenza virus has been continued worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Russia Federation reported the world's first human infection case of avian influenza A(H5N8) virus, and the Lao People's
Democratic Republic and Cambodia notified their first detection of human cases infected by A(H5N6) and A(H9N2) viruses,
respectively. Human infection with avian influenza virus occurs when exposed directly to infected birds or contaminated
environments. The clinical signs and symptoms of the disease vary from no symptoms to severe illness or death. Regardless of the limited evidence of human-to-human transmission, the risk of human infection continues with the increase in contact with wild birds and poultry.
As part of the surveillance outcome, this report will provide information on avian influenza virus infection cases in humans
and the assessment outcomes, limiting the cases reported during the COVID-19 pandemic from January 1, 2020 to April 16,
2021.
