      Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Range and proportions were calculated for relevant variables. The relationships between HPAI (H5N1)-positive cases by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and corresponding variables were determined by Fisher’s exact test at P < 0.05.
