Avian influenza A (H5N1) infection in humans

This is from the Writing Committee of the WHO Consultation on Human Influenza A/H5 and appears as a freely available piece in the New England Journal of Medicine. It's timely to mention it this morning, with the news over the weekend reporting incidences of bird flu in Romania and Turkey. The Guardian has a story at http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1588470,00.html.

CMAJ has published an article on the changing ecology of avian flu, which includes some links to useful clinical resources and statistics. The article is open access at http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/173/8/869?etoc
