[Turkey illness symptoms, Cures and Health Guide] Avian Flu And Symptoms: The fear over an avian flu pandemic arises from the concern that the H5N1 avian flu virus currently spreading throughout the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe has the potential to adapt into a strain that is highly contagious among humans.

[latex.blogr.com - Blog (RSS 2.0)] Influenza A virus: As a result, and despite annual vaccinations, the U.S. faces a burden of influenza that results in approximately 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations each year. In addition to this human toll, influenza is annually responsible for a total cost of over $10 billion in the U.S. A pandemic, or worldwide outbreak of a new influenza virus, could dwarf this impact by overwhelming our health and medical capabilities, potentially resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of hospitalizations, and hundreds of billions of dollars in direct and indirect costs.
