[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] In March 2002, an outbreak of low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) A(H7N2) was detected among commercial poultry operations in Virginia.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] We performed a serosurvey of 80 government workers involved in efforts to control the outbreak.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] One study participant who assisted with disposal of infected birds tested positive for neutralizing antibodies to influenza A(H7N2) by microneutralization assay and H7-specific IgM antibodies by ELISA. The acute infection was temporally associated with an influenza-like illness that resolved without hospitalization.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] This study documents the earliest evidence of human infection with an H7 influenza virus of the North American lineage This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
