aDepartment of Cardiovascular Surgery, Yüksek İhtisas Hospital, bMedical Journalist, Türkiye Klinikleri, Hamamönü, ANKARA Avian influenza is an infection caused by bird influenza viruses which occur among birds. The virus is carried by wild birds and spread to chickens, ducks and turkeys. Wild birds carry the virus in their gastrointestinal system without getting sick, however, domestic birds are prone to get sick even to death.1
Influenza viruses, with new antigenic variants, continue to spread with yearly epidemics, which most humans infected due to lack of immunity. Influenza viruses undergo continuous genetic variation as drift and shift based on surface antigens. 2 Replication of H5N1 virus in humans requires an adapted landbased poultry virus.
