Zusammenfassung:During Jun-Aug 2012, Mexico's National Service for Health, Safety, and Food Quality reported outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A (H7N3) virus in poultry on farms throughout the state of Jalisco. Here, Barrera-Badillo et al describe two cases of conjunctivitis without fever or respiratory symptoms caused by HPAI A (H7N3) virus infection in humans associated with exposure to infected poultry. The conjunctivitis cases in Jalisco most likely represent HPAI A (H7N3) virus transmission from infected poultry to humans through direct contact. Clinicians should consider early empiric antiviral treatment of suspected cases with a neuraminidase inhibitor.
