Mexico says patient died of chronic disease, not H5N2 bird flu

A drone view shows the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference after the World Health Organization said a person's death was caused by the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with the A(H5N2) subtype of bird flu reported globally, and the first human infection with the H5 strain of the virus reported in Mexico, in Mexico City, June 5, 2024.

A man who contracted bird flu in Mexico died due to chronic diseases and not the virus, Mexico's health ministry says.
