6 of the 7 hospital contacts had their serum tested, but all were negative.

The patient and one family member that had shown similar symptoms tested 
positive for 2 of the 3 H5N1 antibody tests indicating that they had 
similar infections.  The CDC is claiming that there is no evidence for 
person to person transmission, and that both family members could have 
been infected from the same source.  This source is not known since they 
had no contact with sick birds nor cattle.

So 2 people in Missouri were infected by the dairy influenza, but they 
do not know the source of the infection.  My guess is that they shared 
the same bottle of milk, and that dairy products in Missouri need to be 
tested in light of the recent CDC results indicating that the virus may 
survive the most common method of pasteurization.  Both family members 
exhibited evidence of gut infection.  The Asian H5N1 strain has been 
known to cause diarrhea in human patients that had injested infected 
goose blood.
