  • A person in Louisiana has the first severe illness caused by bird flu in the U.S., health officials said Wednesday.

The article from MSN discusses a case in Louisiana where a patient has been identified as the first severe bird flu case in the U.S. This individual, who had direct contact with infected dairy cows, was hospitalized due to the severity of the illness but has since been discharged. Health officials have reassured the public that the risk of transmission to humans remains low, and there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission. The patient was treated with the antiviral drug oseltamivir, commonly known as Tamiflu, and is currently recovering. This case marks only the second human infection of this bird flu strain in the U.S., highlighting the importance of monitoring and managing zoonotic diseases.
