3rd Human Case Of Bird Flu Outbreak Reported In US

The symptoms of the third case were similar to acute respiratory illness, including cough without fever, eye discomfort and watery eye discharge.

US officials on Thursday reported the country's third human case of bird flu linked to the current outbreak of the virus in dairy cattle.

The Michigan farm worker is the second person sickened by the disease in the Midwestern state, following a first case in Texas in April.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement all three cases were spread from cows to humans, as opposed to human-to-human, which would be more concerning.
