Alberta health officials have confirmed an isolated, fatal case of H5N1 or avian influenza, Health Minister Rona Ambrose said Wednesday.

But officials repeatedly emphasized that there is no risk of transmission between humans.

The infected person, an Alberta resident who recently travelled to Beijing, China, died Jan. 3.

The case was confirmed in a lab test last night.

It's the first such case in North America.

The person first showed symptoms of the flu on a Dec. 27 flight from Beijing to Vancouver aboard Air Canada flight 3030. The passenger continued on to Edmonton and was admitted to hospital Jan. 1. The symptoms worsened and the patient died two days later. The Public Health Agency of Canada was notified Jan. 5.

Risk of getting H5N1 low

The officials added that the patient was otherwise healthy.

There have been fewer than than 650 cases of bird flu in 15 countries over the last decade, primarily among people who have spent time around infected birds, they said.

Officials emphasized that this is not a disease transmitted between humans.

Officials created confusion by referring to the patient as "him" and "her" in order to avoid identifying anyone. Officials said that they would not identify the sex, age or occupation of the patient. They also refused to say whether the infected passenger was an Edmonton resident, although the final leg of the flight ended there.

Ambrose, who phoned into a news conference in Ottawa, said Canadian officials are working with Chinese authorities on the case.

"The risk of getting H5N1 is very low. This is not the regular seasonal flu. This is an isolated case," she said.

Ambrose added that there is no general threat to human health.

"From inception through 2007, the total number of WHO-confirmed cases was 349, with 216 of those fatalities (as reported by the U.N. on January 15, 2008, confirming earlier deaths) reflecting a 62% fatality rate among WHO-confirmed cases through 2007.[23] These overall figures fail to bring forward fluctuations that have appeared from year to year and in particular geographic areas. In 2005, when a markedly less-lethal strain in Northern Vietnam was responsible for most of the cases reported worldwide, only 42 of 97 people confirmed by the WHO to be infected with H5N1 died — a 43% fatality rate. In 2006, the case fatality ratio was higher among the WHO-confirmed cases, with 79 deaths among 114 confirmed cases.[24]— or 69%. In 2007, 59 of the 86 WHO-confirmed cases ended in death, again a 69% fatality rate.[25] And 24 of the first 31 cases of 2008 (to April 30, 2008) have been fatal,[26] or 77%."
