Five Critical Suspect H5N1 Cases in Nepal
Recombinomics Commentary 20:15
January 23, 2009
five people suspected of having been infected by the virus have been hospitalised in critical conditions
The above comments from Nepal (see updated map) are cause for concern. Although India has reported cases with upper respiratory illness, none were reported as being seriously ill, although test results were not reported because the patients were said to not have contact with poultry, even though they were within a 3 km cull zone of confirmed cases.
Five critical cases in Nepal are a significantly more serious development.
Information on the exposure of these patients, and results of rapid tests would be useful.
