Via Mike Coston at Avian Flu Diary: Hong Kong Investigating Fever Case With Travel To Saudi Arabia. Excerpt:
Today, we have a press release from Hong Kong indicating they have flagged another patient, recently returned from KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) – and his spouse - for testing.
This is the sort of story we are probably going to have to get used to seeing as surveillance efforts regarding this novel virus ramp up.
As we’ve seen with other emerging diseases (including H5N1), testing is often done out of an abundance of caution, and results often come back negative.
