The CDC announced on Thursday its recommendation to test hospitalized influenza A patients more quickly and thoroughly to distinguish between seasonal flu and bird flu.
The accelerated "subtyping" of flu A in hospitalized patients is in response to "sporadic human infections" of avian flu, the CDC wrote in a press release. Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
"CDC is recommending a shortened timeline for subtyping all influenza A specimens among hospitalized patients and increasing efforts at clinical laboratories to identify non-seasonal influenza," the agency wrote.
