Description: A highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus has crossed the species barrier to cause deaths in humans in Asia and poses an increasing threat of a pandemic. These infections differ from human influenza in the routes of transmission, clinical severity, pathogenesis, and response to treatment. This article describes the features of influenza A (H5N1) infection and updates recommendations for prevention and clinical management. Avian influenza poses an increasing threat of a pandemic. This article describes the features of influenza A (H5N1) infection and updates recommendations for prevention and clinical management. An unprecedented epizootic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus that is highly pathogenic has crossed the species barrier in Asia to cause many human fatalities and poses an increasing pandemic threat. This summary describes the features of human infection with influenza A (H5N1) and reviews recommendations for prevention and clinical management presented in part at the recent World Health Organization (WHO) Meeting on Case Management and Research on Human Influenza A/H5, which was held in Hanoi, May 10 through 12, 2005. 1 Because many critical questions remain, modifications of these recommendations are likely.
