An 11-year-old girl in Cambodia has died from bird flu in the country's first-known human H5N1 infection since 2014, health officials say.
The young girl from the rural south-eastern province of Prey Veng became ill on February 16 and died shortly after being diagnosed at a Phnom Penh hospital on Wednesday
Most human cases worldwide have involved direct contact with infected poultry, but concerns have arisen recently about infections in a variety of mammals and the possibility the virus may evolve to spread more easily between people. She was diagnosed on Wednesday after suffering a fever up to 39 degrees Celsius, with coughing and throat pain, and died shortly afterward, the Health Ministry said in a statement Wednesday night.
