Bird flu alert in Mexico, the first victim in the world is recorded

The first fatal case of H5N2 bird flu worldwide has been confirmed in Mexico. The World Health Organization announced that a 59-year-old man died in serious health conditions after being admitted to hospital with symptoms including fever, shortness of breath, diarrhea and nausea.

He died on April 24, at a specialized institute in the Mexican capital, a few hours after being admitted there for medical treatment.

"This is the first laboratory-confirmed case of the A(H5N2) influenza virus," the WHO explained in its recently published epidemiological bulletin.

The patient was presented to the hospital on April 17. He had no known contact with birds or other animals, but had some underlying illnesses, the WHO noted.

The death follows the discovery in March of cases of H5N2 in farmed birds in the state of Michoacan, which neighbors the Mexican state where the victim lived.

But according to the Mexican Ministry of Health, no other human cases of H5N2 have been identified and there is no risk to the general population. Even the WHO considers the risk of spreading the disease to be low.

The H5N2 strain is different from the H5N1 causing the current US cow outbreak, in which three human deaths have also been reported.
