new H7N9 flu, no sustained human-to-human, but . . . - Health ...


And there are also questions whether birds are the only or even the primary animal reservoir for this new strain.

=============

For flu in general, a relapse with high fever is bad because that relapse may be bacterial pneumonia (after the flu virus has stripped the helpful epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract). Don't panic, but do call your regular doctor and hopefully he or she can put in a call for an antibiotic. Start soon.

And apparently, people are most infectious with flu when they first get sick. Which is directly at odds with companies pressuring people to work when sick, and also people themselves wanting to be heroes.

If you run across any interesting news items relating to this H7N9, please post a link here. I guess influenza is kind of a special interest of mine.
