Details of just how sick the young teenage girl who came down with H5N1 in B.C. became

Health officials previously said they weren’t able to trace how transmission occurred
Report in NEJM describing the first critically ill adolescent with #H5N1 D1.1 (aka #BirdFlu) in North America.

A 13 yo rapidly progressed from mild symptoms to respiratory & renal failure. She survived thanks to IMV + ECMO + CRRT.

Scary stuff.
