Comment: Notwithstanding the above, very few cases of human infection associated with the newly emerged 2.3.4.4b clade have been hitherto identified, while a lethal disease case has been recently diagnosed in an 11 years-old girl from Cambodia, with this fatalityhaving been caused by the HPAI A(H5N1) 2.3.2.1c clade, widely circulating in poultryfarms from that geographic area (6).
