Yet, not staying in one place when her daughter was contaminated, it had never been in contact with infected birds. .
In the same way, an aunt of this little girl has fallen ill. Thus the hypothesis of a possible transmission from person to person has been strongly suspected. After a careful analysis of these three cases, scientists are making their findings in a publication, confirming this channel. They analyze the circumstances of exposure to poultry that little girl, her aunt and her mother, the precise symptoms of the disease, and performs tests to identify the virus and its proprietes.Le virus is incriminated H5N1 in three cases and the victims died within days of pneumonia. Contamination of the mother being moved away from poultry, human transmission, which would have occurred in the hospital through close contact, is the most probable.Dans this specific case, as in that which occurred recently in Vietnam, the virus would not mutate so far.
