Washington: US health authorities reported on Wednesday a second case of bird flu in a human, amid an outbreak of the disease among dairy cows.
The case involves an individual in the northern state of Michigan who is "a worker on a dairy farm where H5N1 virus has been identified in cows," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
The first case was announced in April, in a person working on a dairy farm in Texas, who exhibited only mild symptoms.
Despite the second case, the CDC said it considered the health risk assessment for the general public to be low.
Two specimens were collected from the Michigan worker -- one from the nose and the other from the eye -- with only the eye specimen testing positive.
