HERMOSILLO, SON.- Este jueves autoridades de Salud en China confirmaron el primer caso de infección humana de la gripe aviar H5n6.
Se trata de un hombre de 55 años, originario de la provincia Sichuan, que se encuentra al sureste del país.
Una cadena de noticias de China informó de que el paciente mostró síntomas de fiebre el 30 de junio y dio positivo al virus el 6 de julio.
El virus H5N6 es una de las variantes de gripe potencialmente peligrosas, que fue detectada por primera vez en 2013, en Laos y luego se extendió a China y otros países.

As an emergency room nurse in the same hospital where her father lay dying of COVID last March, Luna knows firsthand what it is like for a family to hang on to every new piece of information. She has become acutely aware of the need to take extra time in explaining developments to a patient’s relatives who are often desperate for updates.

As an emergency room nurse in the same hospital where her father lay dying of Covid last March, Ms. Luna knows firsthand what it’s like for a family to hang on to every new piece of information. She’s become acutely aware of the need to take extra time in explaining developments to a patient’s relatives who are often desperate for updates.
And Ms. Luna has been willing to share her personal loss if it helps, as she did recently with a patient whose husband died. But she has also learned to withhold it to respect each person’s distinct grief, as she did when a colleague’s father also succumbed to the disease.
