CDC Reports Fourth Human Case of H5 Bird Flu Tied to Dairy Cow Outbreak
A human case of A(H5) identified in Colorado marks the fourth case associated with an ongoing outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in U.S. dairy cows. As with
previous cases, the person is a worker on a dairy farm with exposure to sick cows. The person reported eye symptoms only and has recovered. Based on the information available at this time, this case does not change CDC’s health risk assessment for the U.S. general public, which remains low.
