A patient has been hospitalized with a severe case of H5N1 infection in Louisiana, the CDC said. This is first instance of a severe illness linked to bird flu in the U.S.
The CDC said that a sporadic case of severe H5N1 bird flu illness in a person is not unexpected as has previously been experienced in other countries during 2024 and prior years, including in cases that led to death. The agency said its assessment of risk to the public remains low.
