Abstract

Of 19 human cases of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection detected during January 2023-March 2025 in Cambodia, 12 (63%) were detected directly by surveillance for severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) or indirectly by testing ill close contacts. SARI surveillance can supplement other surveillance sources for identifying H5N1 cases.
