Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of antibodies to highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) among poultry market workers (PMWs) in Vietnam, where the virus is common in poultry and has led to human infections.
- Blood samples were collected from PMWs in Hanoi, Thaibinh, and Thanhhoa provinces, revealing an overall seroprevalence of 6.1%, with the highest rate (7.2%) in Hanoi—mostly among poultry slaughterers and sellers.
- The findings underscore the need for ongoing surveillance of avian influenza at both human and animal levels in Vietnam to assess risks of avian-human transmission.
To evaluate risk factors for human infection with influenza A subtype H5N1, we performed a matched case-control study in Vietnam. We enrolled 28 case-patients who had laboratory-confirmed H5N1 infection during 2004 and 106 age-, sex-, and location-matched control-respondents. Data were analyzed by matched-pair analysis and multivariate conditional logistic regression.
