Vázquez-Pérez JA, Wong-Arámbula C, Solís-Hernández. Mexico´s Laboratory-Confirmed Human Case of Infection with the Influenza A(H5N2) Virus. Viruses. 2025 Jan 31;17(2):205
In April 2024, the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias of Mexico City identified a case of unsubtypeable Influenza A in a 58-year-old immunocompromised patient with renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy and bacterial peritonitis. Through sequencing the M, NS, NA, NP, and HA complete segments, we identified an H5N2 influenza virus with identity of 99% with avian influenza A(H5N2) from Texcoco, Mexico, in 2024. This case is the first reported with direct evidence of human infection caused by the H5N2 influenza virus; the relationship of the virus with the severity of his condition remains unknown.
