January 6, 2025 -- CDC is saddened by Louisiana's report that a person previously hospitalized with severe avian influenza A(H5N1) illness ("H5N1 bird flu") has passed away. While tragic, a death from H5N1 bird flu in the United States is not unexpected because of the known potential for infection with these viruses to cause severe illness and death.
As of January 6, 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024 and 67 since 2022. This is the first person in the United States who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the United States, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization; about half of those have resulted in death.

@Mz iMac I've heard this on multiple news reports the past couple of days. They also mentioned he was 67 years old with pre-existing medical conditions and had contact with flocks of both domestic and wild birds.

Unsettling to hear. Animal to human transmission happens often. Guess we are good hosts.
Has anyone ever heard of a human passing bird flu to a bird? The reverse?
