Jun 2, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today issued its initial assessment of the 2010-11 flu season, giving new details about swine-origin novel H3N2 infections, including probable human-to-human transmission between a Minnesota man and his child who were sick in November.
Human infections with the swine-origin flu viruses are rare, which makes a report of human-to-human transmission even more unusual.
