Ohio's health department reported that a farmer hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu has been discharged. He is the fourth American hospitalized with the virus this year. The hospitalization is linked to contact with infected poultry. This situation follows a case in Wyoming, where another individual was hospitalized after exposure. Health authorities stress that most cases result from intensive contact with sick animals. Data indicate that the current influenza surge is due to seasonal strains rather than human-to-human transmission. Ongoing investigations have yet to clearly identify the sources of recent infections.
