The man, 59, had died due to chronic conditions that led to septic shock, and not from the virus, the healthy ministry emphasized. Citing findings by a team of experts, the ministry said: “The diseases were long-term and caused conditions that led to the failure of several organs.
” According to health officials, the man had chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and arterial hypertension for the past 14 years. While the ministry has investigated those who may have been in contact with the man before he died, they said there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission of the A(H5N2) virus in the case.
