H5N1 has been circulating among birds in the U.S. since 2022 , jumping into various mammals — including cows — since its introduction.
The Missouri patient's infection likely came from infected cows but happened in a state that has not detected the virus in cattle.
The patient, who had underlying medical conditions, experienced chest pain, diarrhea, vomiting and weakness.
Public health laboratories mostly test for H5N1 in people exposed to animals suspected of carrying the virus.
CDC said it's partnering with biotechnology companies to enable earlier and more widespread testing.
CDC has scaled up surveillance of the virus among people who interact with farm animals.
