Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Dec;25(12):2328-2330. doi: 10.3201/eid2512.190636.

Abstract

A 17-month-old boy in India with severe acute respiratory infection was laboratory confirmed to have avian influenza A(H9N2) virus infection. Complete genome analysis of the strain indicated a mixed lineage of G1 and H7N3. The strain also was found to be susceptible to adamantanes and neuraminidase inhibitors.

Keywords: H9N2; India; avian influenza; influenza; respiratory infections; viruses; zoonoses.
