Global crisis fear on bird flu 29sep04 THAILAND has confirmed its first likely case of human-to-human infection of bird flu, hours after UN agencies labelled the disease a "crisis of global importance". A Thai public health ministry statement said yesterday a 26-year-old woman who died from the disease had probably caught the illness from her sick daughter. The woman, who died eight days ago after caring for her 11-year-old daughter in hospital, is potentially the first person to have caught bird flu from another human in the wave of cases that have hit Asia this year. The daughter also died and is listed as a suspected victim of the virus that has claimed at least 10 people in Thailand this year. The girl's aunt was also confirmed yesterday as having bird flu, but is recovering in hospital. The worst case scenario that concerns the World Health Organisation is that the virus mutates into a highly contagious form and trigger a global flu pandemic in humans. A mutated bird flu outbreak was blamed for the deaths of up to 40 million people worldwide in 1918. ... heraldsun.news.com.au
