Azerbaijan might face bird flu danger again in autumn and winter months. An individual must be very careful if he has fever over 38, coughs and feels flu symptoms in October-November, he should see a doctor.

The Republic Anti-Plague Station deputy director Faig Mammadzadeh warned today, APA reports.
He said a doctor should take into account five factors while suspecting of bird flu. The first is detection of avian flu virus in the area or the patient’s coming into contact with infected bird. The second is the patient’s coming into contact with suspected dead birds and infected wild bird. The fourth is the patient’s having half-cooked fowl or egg. And the fifth factor is the patient’s working in a virus-study lab./APA/
