BMC Infectious Diseases | Abstract | Seroprevalence of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus among poultry workers in Jiangsu Province, China: an observational study
biomedcentral.com — “Since 2003 to 06 Jan 2012, the number of laboratory confirmed human cases of infection with avian influenza in China was 41 and 27 were fatal. However, the official estimate of the H5N1 case-fatality rate has been described by some as an over estimation since there may be numerous undetected asymptomatic/mild cases of H5N1 infection. This study was conducted to better understand the real infection rate and evaluate the potential risk factors for the zoonotic spread of H5N1 viruses to humans.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | The prevalence and identity of Chlamydia-specific IgE in children with asthma and other chronic respiratory symptoms
