I've read about this, very very interesting. I'm about to being my residency in a month, I'm doing internal medicine and infectious disease. Part of my education is regarding the avian flu threat. I'm sure I'll learn more about this case quickly as it develops, so if I hear or read anything, I'll be sure to post it. In the mean time, if anyone has any questions regarding the medical prepartion for avian flu or on the virus itself, there are MANY great resources on this forum, so ask away.
