Child in California Tests Positive for Bird Flu
A child in Alameda County, California, has tested positive for bird flu, although the source of infection remains unknown as there was no contact with infected animals. The child exhibited mild upper respiratory symptoms and is recovering at home. Health officials, working with the CDC, are investigating possible exposure to wild birds. The initial positive test showed low levels of the virus, but a follow-up test four days later was negative, and other respiratory viruses were detected. Public health officials emphasize that there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of bird flu, and the risk to the public remains low. Family members tested negative for bird flu, and those in contact with the child have been notified and offered preventive measures.
