WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) -

A Michigan health official on Wednesday said that a dairy worker had contracted bird flu, the second U.S. human case reported since the virus was first confirmed in dairy cattle in late March.

A Texas dairy worker was confirmed to be infected in April. Michigan is one of 9 states to report bird flu in dairy herds.
