A person whose death in Mexico was reported as the first caused by the H5N2 avian flu worldwide did not actually die from the virus but from “chronic conditions,”<\/strong> Mexican authorities said on Friday, June 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Wednesday, June 5,<\/a> the death of a man from avian flu A (H5N2) detected by a laboratory in Mexico. The Mexican government dismissed the risk of contagion to the population on the same day and stated that no other human cases had been detected so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“An expert team from the Health sector determined that the person identified with influenza A (H5N2) did not die from this virus<\/a> but as a result of chronic conditions that led to septic shock,” Mexico’s Health Ministry said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deceased, detailed the document, was a 59-year-old man, a resident of the State of Mexico, neighboring the capital, who had been suffering from chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and systemic arterial hypertension for more than 14 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As part of the medical care protocol, samples for respiratory viruses were taken; after analysis in specialized laboratories of the Health Ministry, the influenza A (H5N2) virus was identified,”<\/strong> the statement indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, the WHO reported that the patient died after experiencing fever, respiratory distress, diarrhea, nausea, and general malaise and had no history of exposure to poultry or other animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cases of the H5N2 avian flu subtype have been reported in such birds in Mexico<\/strong>. The Health Ministry reaffirmed that there are no risks to the population and that all tests of contacts related to the case under study have come back negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it clarified that since the source of the infection has not been identified, the investigation is ongoing.<\/strong> (With information from Reuters)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
