TL;DR
Avian Influenza A H5N1 virus causes human influenza-like illness with a high rate of complications in adults admitted to hospital, and rapid H5-subtype-specific laboratory diagnosis can be made by RT-PCR applied directly to clinical specimens.

The results suggest transmission of the virus from infected chickens to the child without another intermediate mammalian host acting as a "mixing vessel" illustrates the importance of intensive global influenza surveillance.

497 Citations1997J.C. de Jong, Eric C. J. Claas +3 more
An influenza A virus of the H5N1 subtype has now been identified in a human patient, raising discussions about its potential to spark a new human influenza pandemic.

Although the Pekin robin isolate did not produce disease in chickens under the conditions of the study it did have the amino acid sequence compatible with that in HP AI viruses and, therefore, is considered potentially HP.

It is demonstrated that rapid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections in children is a cost-effective procedure and significantly reduced hospital stays, antibiotic use, and laboratory utilization.

230 Citations1992K. F. Shortridge
Evidence is presented that points strongly to pandemic influenza being a zoonosis, and consideration is given to the temporal and geographical factors and range of hosts, namely the duck, pig, and human, that need to be submitted to virus surveillance in China and beyond to attempt to anticipate a future pandemic.

It is concluded that RSV may cause devastating outbreaks of severe pneumonia among hospitalized adult BMT recipients and early diagnosis and combination therapy with ribavirin and IVIG was associated with a favorable outcome.

204 Citations1991Owen T. Gorman, William J. Bean +4 more
A phylogenetic analysis of 52 published and 37 new nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequences addressed the evolution and origin of human and swine influenza A viruses indicates that these viruses have evolved independently since well before the first isolates in the early 1930s, and proposes that during 1918 a virulent strain of this new avianlike virus entered human or swine hosts.

Investigation of the ability of monoclonal antibodies to passively cure an influenza virus pneumonia in the absence of endogenous T- and B-cell responses showed that recovery could be achieved by VN+ anti-HA MAbs of the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), IgG 2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 isotypes but not by Vn+Antihemagglutinin (anti-HA) MAbs
The Journal of Infectious DiseasesPredictions for Future Human Influenza Pandemics
110 Citations1997Robert G. Webster
It is arguable that H7 or H2 strains might be equally capable of infecting humans, and prediction of the subtype is impossible, but there is a hypothesis based on seroarcheology that only H1, H2, and H3 subtypes can infect humans.
Influenza in Man
100 Citations1987Edwin D. Kilbourne
The clinical expression of infection with influenza virus is variable and is partially influenced by the nature of the infecting virus but to a greater extent is modulated by the age, physiological state, and immunologic experience of the host.
Molecular Biology and EvolutionPhylogenetic analysis of nucleoproteins suggests that human influenza A viruses emerged from a 19th-century avian ancestor.
93 Citations1990M. Gammelin, Axel Altmüller +6 more
Using 25 NP sequences, a cautious extrapolation of the tree suggests that the human influenza A virus NPs evolved 150 years ago from an avian ancestor, and the ancestral relation between the NPs of influenza A, B, and C viruses was analyzed.
