Another child in California has caught H5N1 avian influenza from an unknown source. The case was detected when the child showed up ill at a healthcare center and tested positive for Flu A (H5N1 and the majority of influenzas are Flu A and not Flu B strains). Some subset of all flu samples are then put through specific typing as part of regular screening. Here, it's currently around 15% of samples. Not sure about San Francisco, where this child is located.
