‘Worrisome’ mutations found in bird flu virus from Canadian teenager
The fate of a Canadian teenager who was infected with H5N1 bird flu in early November, and subsequently admitted to an intensive care unit, has finally been revealed: She has fully recovered. But genetic analysis of the virus that infected her body showed ominous mutations that researchers suggest potentially allowed it to target human cells more easily and cause severe disease — a development the study authors called “worrisome.
Scientists Say Extremely Worried About Mutation in H5N1 Bird Flu Found In Recovered Canadian Teen
