birds dealing domestic found higher issue poultry problem risk start
As long as we're dealing only with migratory birds being found here and there, I don't think it's a big deal, frankly. The big issue is if we start to have domestic poultry infected. Then it would start to be a problem ... a higher risk for transmission to humans.
clearly poor poultry spread understanding
Clearly there was a poor understanding as to how much spread of h5n1 there was in poultry in Turkey.
cases close confirmed contact control dead infection laboratory major people point poultry sick source
All of the cases confirmed by the laboratory are people who had close contact with infected, sick or dead poultry. The major point now is to control the outbreak in poultry as it is the source of infection in humans.

At the moment there is no element in this village indicating human-to-human transmission. It's typically similar to what we have seen so far (in Asia).

I have a sense that what is going on in Turkey can be brought under control relatively easily.
human risk romania runs sites
With 31 sites of avian influenza, Romania runs the risk of human contamination at any moment.
case confirm
We don't need to confirm each and every case to confirm the outbreak.
bigger disease expanding good problem shows
It is worrisome because it shows that the problem is expanding ... the frontline of the disease is getting bigger and this is not good news.
believe dealing false reason unlikely
It's unlikely we're dealing with false positives. There's no reason to believe it's wrong.
animals districts initially seems spread widely
It seems like it has spread much more widely in animals and in more districts that was initially thought.
clear virus
It's clear that the virus is well-established in the region.
laboratory likely move
We want to see the laboratory (results) before we move on. But she's likely to be a case, unfortunately.

We are pretty confident that unfortunately it (the girl's) is a human case of H5N1.
