Abstract
To evaluate risk factors for human infection with influenza A subtype H5N1, we performed a matched case-control study in Vietnam.

Data were analyzed by matched-pair analysis and multivariate conditional logistic regression. Factors that were independently associated with H5N1 infection were preparing sick or dead poultry for consumption
