Bird flu outbreak: 20 hospitalized in SpainPublished: 10 Jan 2014 12:36 GMT+01:00 The infected patients have been admitted into hospitals in Teruel and Zaragoza as a result of the outbreak. Local health authorities said on Thursday the H5N1 strain of influenza A virus involved was unusual but covered by standard medical guidelines. Among the measures being taken are vaccination of family members and isolation of patients, local daily El Periódico de Aragon reported. Health authorities are now warning people of the importance of prevention. Vaccinations are available at health centres until March. "You don't have to belong to a risk group" such as children or people aged over 65 years of age, the regional health department said of the outbreak. Bird flu rose to international prominence in 2009 after a global pandemic. Most cases of avian influenza — a respiratory disease which originates in birds — are relatively mild, but severe cases can lead to hospitalization or even death. |

The first post says that h5n1 rose to prominence in 2009 after a global pandemic so I assume that it was a typo and in reality they are talking about h1n1.

Yeah, we hope it was a typo. There are so many alpha/numeric variations, it's hard to keep track.

It's either a typo the reporter is confused. "They are said to have been affected by the H1N1 virus which causes the so-called avian influenza, or more commonly referred to as bird 'flu, a potentially life-threatening condition which first hit the headlines nearly eight years ago." |

Typo - this would be all over the internet if it was H5N1. I missed this thread when it was first posted and it certainly got my pulse rate up there for a minute

A lot of typos and bad reporting lately, as well as testing and reporting issues. Hope they didn't mean h7n9 in Canada recently instead of h5, but who knows at this point.

That first report talks about vaccines, but is there a vaccine for H5N1?

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

Spain notes flu outbreak

Eleven people have died since the start of flu season in October in the country, ThinkSpain reported. The most serious case was in Aragon, where 26 people contracted H1N1 resulting in one death. Health officials said fatalities thus far have been limited to the elderly, children or people with chronic medical conditions. Officials urged at-risk populations -- including seniors, the young and people who work with either -- to get a flu vaccination. Of those hospitalized, nearly seven in 10 cases lead to pneumonia and many require intensive care to recover.
