There is no specific cure for H5N1 avian influenza in people, and the mortality rate is high. Patients with suspected or proven H5N1 receive supportive care in the hospital in a manner that protects other patients, visitors and hospital staff from becoming infected. If human cases were to occur in the US, patients with H5N1 would likely receive influenza antiviral medications to lessen the severity of the disease in addition to receiving comprehensive medical care.
