As I mentioned on Monday (see Bangladesh Reports Human Bird Flu Infection) Bangladesh reported their second human bird flu case this week. The first was recorded in 2008.
While it doesn’t add a lot to what we already knew, today the World Health Organization has posted an official confirmation, and an update to the situation.
Avian influenza - situation in Bangladesh
16 March 2011 - The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has confirmed a case of human infection with avian influenza A (H5N1) virus.
