It is being said that the identity cannot be made public until the surveillance is complete, but AIIMS sources say that the child was a resident of an outside state, he was not a resident of Delhi.
A senior AIIMS doctor said that avian flu not only spreads rapidly but it is also a high-risk infection with a high mortality rate. Annually around five thousand such cases come in the country, but this year’s first case has come to the fore. Apart from birds, this infection spreads rapidly in humans as well.

Delhi AIIMS doctors said that H5N1 infection spreads very rapidly in birds. That’s why it is also known as bird flu. It also spreads rapidly in humans and like the corona virus, this infection can also infect one person to another. The virus was first identified in China in 1996. Birds die due to this virus. This is the first case in India when a human has died due to this infection.
In the same year, many cases of avian influenza were reported in Delhi in the month of January. Then 14 crows were found in the Red Fort and four ducks were found dead in the Sanjay Lake. In the eight samples sent to the lab, everyone’s report came positive.

In a scientific study conducted a few years ago, it was found that the bird flu virus can change and take such a form that it can spread rapidly between humans. That is, like corona, mutations can also occur in this infection. Due to which it can spread rapidly.
AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria said that a few days ago the child was admitted to AIIMS. His condition was very serious. Apart from leukemia, the child had also been affected by pneumonia, due to which his life could not be saved. At present, the report about the child’s H5N1 has come positive and further process has started regarding this.
