Line 7:
In humans, avian flu causes [[Influenza#Symptoms|similar symptoms to other types of flu]]. [http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_information/html/health_news/270104avianflu.html] These include
[[fever]], [[cough]], [[sore throat]], [[myalgia|muscle aches]], [[conjunctivitis]] and, in severe cases, severe breathing problems and [[pneumonia]] that may be fatal. The severity of the infection will depend to a large part on the state of the infected person's [[immune system]] and if the victim has been exposed to the strain before, and is therefore partially immune. In one case, a boy with H5N1 experienced [[diarrhea]] followed rapidly by a [[coma]] without developing respiratory or flu-like symptoms, suggesting non-standard symptoms.
