An older woman in southeast Wyoming is hospitalized with bird flu, state health department officials said Friday.
It's the state's first human case of Type A H5N1 influenza, which is spreading through animals and some people. Nearly 70 people in the U.S. have been reported infected with bird flu in the last year, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though researchers and studies suggest that's likely an undercount.
