The human risk following exposure to the European reassortant avian influenza A(H5N6) is unknown. We used routine data collected as part of public health follow-up to assess outcomes of individuals exposed to H5N6-infected wild birds in England. There were 19 separate incidents of confirmed H5N6 among wild birds in the first quarter of 2018 in England and 69 individuals exposed to infected birds during these incidents. Five exposed individuals developed respiratory symptoms. However, no H5N6 infection was detected among those individuals with respiratory symptoms who underwent diagnostic testing, indicating that the human risk from this strain remains low.
人类接触欧洲重配禽流感病毒 A(H5N6)后的风险尚不清楚。我们使用常规数据，这些数据是作为公共卫生监测的一部分收集的，用于评估在英格兰接触感染 H5N6 的野生鸟类的个体的结果。2018 年第一季度，英格兰有 19 起野生鸟类确诊的 H5N6 事件，有 69 人在这些事件中接触了感染的鸟类。有 5 名接触者出现呼吸道症状。然而，在接受诊断检测的出现呼吸道症状的接触者中，未检测到 H5N6 感染，这表明该毒株对人类的风险仍然较低。
