First Human Death from H5N2 Bird Flu Reported in Mexico

The World Health Organization reported the first human case of H5N2 bird flu in a 59-year-old man in Mexico who died in April. The man had no known exposure to poultry or other animals, raising concerns about potential human-to-human transmission. Experts note that H5 viruses rarely infect humans and that the H5N2 strain is considered low pathogenic. Further genetic analysis is needed to determine the risk to humans, but the focus remains on the more concerning H5N1 strain.

First Human Death from H5N2 Bird Flu Confirmed in Mexico

A 59-year-old man in Mexico has died from H5N2 bird flu, the first recorded human case of this strain.
