As a final note, there’s a news report wending its way through the Chinese and English Language press today regarding an `imported’ case of H7N9 into China, from Hong Kong. I believe this is a case we covered 10 days ago, but here is the Xinhua report:
China reports first incoming tourist H7N9 case
Feb 10,2014
BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- A boy entering the Chinese mainland from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been confirmed as infected with H7N9 bird flu, China's quarantine authority said on Monday.
Infection of the six-year-old boy, found in the city of Shenzhen across the border from Hong Kong, marks the first human H7N9 case for tourists entering the Chinese mainland, said the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The case was first noted on Jan. 28 when the boy was diagnosed with a fever of 38.2 degrees Celsius and other symptoms such as a red throat and swelling tonsils, and confirmed later by the quarantine authorities and disease control center of Guangdong Province.
China has reported more than 120 human H7N9 cases this year, including over 26 deaths, with the provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong worst affected.
Which looks remarkably like the case reported by the World Health Organization on February 3rd.
A 6-year-old boy who is living in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, and became ill on 27 January. He was detected on 28 January by Shenzhen Entry-Exit Quarantine Bureau when travelling through Huanggang Port. He has mild symptoms and is in a stable condition. He is currently in isolated treatment at home. The patient has a history of exposure to live poultry.
The Xinhua report calls it an `incoming case’ – intimating, I guess, that the boy acquired the infection in Hong Kong.
As I’ve not seen any details on how long the boy had been away from his home in Shenzhen (hours? days?), I’m unable to even guess where the boy might have been infected. If Hong Kong’s CHP posts an update on this case, I’ll mention it.
