What happened to past cases of #H5N1 infection in pregnant women?

"Mortality rates for infected women and their infants was >90% when women were infected with avian influenza virus during pregnancy."

Most pregnant women who contract bird flu will die, according to an Australian review of infections that found most unborn babies with the virus also die.

Caused by influenza A viruses, a severe strain of bird flu known as highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) is spreading globally.

While this has caused large outbreaks in poultry and wild birds and spillover infections in mammals, human infections are rare and usually limited to people who work in close contact with sick birds and livestock. There is no evidence of transmission between humans.

Avian influenza is a lethal for mankind. So: STAY AWAY FROM ANIMALS!
