Michigan farmworker diagnosed with bird flu
A case of H5 influenza, also known as avian influenza or bird flu, was reported in a farm worker in Michigan with exposure to infected livestock, stated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is the second case in an ongoing outbreak nationwide and the third bird flu case ever in the US in a person.
The infected person, with only eye symptoms, initially tested negative through a nasal test but later tested positive from an eye swab, and has since recovered.
