Information about Bird Flu Symptoms
What are the symptoms of Bird Flu?
Influenza (the flu) is a very infectious illness caused by a virus. It is much more serious than a common cold and can leave you ill for up to 10 days. There are many types of influenza virus, some of which infect birds. These are Avian or Bird Flu viruses.
Very rarely, an Avian influenza virus can also infect people. The current Avian influenza virus – H5N1 – has infected some people who have caught it from having close contact with infected birds.
Avian influenza causes severe flu-like symptoms in people and may result in death.
The exact symptoms, incubation period and duration of Bird flu in people are not known, because there have not been enough cases.
Generally the symptoms are similar to those for people infected with human influenza virus, although the severity of the illness may differ. Symptoms generally appear three to seven days after exposure and can last up to seven days.
Symptoms of the flu include: a high fever, chills, nasal congestion, headache, muscle aches and pains, tiredness and fatigue, cough, sore throat, a runny nose and conjunctivitis. It may take up to three days to feel symptoms after you catch the flu (the incubation period). Cases of Bird Flu are also likely to experience breathing problems, pneumonia and can be fatal,
Anyone can get the flu – being fit, active and healthy does not protect you from getting this virus.
Anyone can die from the flu.
