They have short incubation period.
Case scenario:
JP is a 29 year-old female presenting to the Emergency Department with myalgia (muscle
pain), and rhinorrhea (lots of mucus fluid in the nasal cavity) and bleeding nose. Her
symptoms began approximately 1 day ago and are continuous, steadily getting worse. She is
having significant nasal discharge but minimal cough. She has no significant past medical
history, and takes no routine medications. She was finally diagnosed with a virus containing H
and N proteins.
How can this infection be transmitted from a patient to a healthy person?
This infection is not transmitted between humans.
Via poultry products
Via respiratory droplets
It varies based on the source of infection.
