**First Human H5N1 Bird Flu Infections Reported in Cambodia for 2024** February 27, 2024 (Cambodia) - The Cambodian Ministry of Health has reported the first confirmed human infections of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus for 2024. Two individuals, a 12-year-old girl and her father, have tested positive for the virus. According to local health officials, the girl became ill on February 15 after coming into contact with dead poultry. She developed a fever, cough, and sore throat, and was admitted to a local hospital. Her father, who cared for her during her illness, also developed similar symptoms. Laboratory testing confirmed the presence of the H5N1 virus in both individuals. They are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been notified of the cases and is monitoring the situation closely. The organization emphasized the importance of bird flu surveillance and early detection to prevent further human infections. The H5N1 virus is a highly contagious bird flu virus that can also infect humans. It is primarily spread through contact with infected birds or their bodily fluids. Human infections can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be fatal. The reported cases in Cambodia highlight the continued threat of bird flu to human health and the need for ongoing surveillance and prevention measures. The United States has the strongest avian influenza surveillance program in the world, and has been closely monitoring the spread of the H5N1 virus.

**Rare Cases of Bird Flu Reported in Humans** Although avian bird influenza viruses typically do not infect humans, there have been sporadic cases of human infection. While human-to-human spread remains extremely rare, health officials are monitoring the situation closely. Since December 2021, 11 human cases of H5N1 have been reported worldwide. Symptoms in humans infected with bird flu viruses have ranged from mild respiratory issues to severe illness, including pneumonia and respiratory failure. Poultry and other birds are the natural hosts of bird flu viruses. However, these viruses can spread to humans through contact with infected birds or their secretions. Human infections typically occur through exposure to sick or dead birds, contaminated surfaces, or through inhaling airborne virus particles. Common symptoms of bird flu in birds include: * Respiratory symptoms (runny nose, coughing/sneezing) * Diarrhea * Decreased energy * Decreased egg production To prevent bird flu infection, it is essential to avoid contact with sick or dead birds, their secretions, and contaminated surfaces. Proper hygiene practices should be followed, including regular handwashing and disinfection of surfaces. If you suspect a bird may be infected with bird flu, contact your local veterinarian immediately. Health officials emphasize that the risk of human infection with bird flu remains low. However, they encourage continued surveillance and adherence to preventive measures to mitigate the potential for spread.
