2014/04/22 23:17:38
Taipei, April 22 (CNA) The Centers for Disease Control confirmed Tuesday the third imported case of H7N9 avian flu since April last year.
The patient, a 44-year-old woman from China's Jiangsu Province, entered Taiwan April 17 as part of a tour group. She is currently in serious condition in a hospital intensive care unit.
The woman had a dry cough and muscle soreness when she arrived in Taiwan and went to a clinic in New Taipei for treatment that day.
On April 18, she developed nausea and fever and sought treatment at a hospital the following day, where an X-ray showed that she had pneumonia and pleural effusion.
On April 20, she was taken to a medical center accompanied by her tour group leader and was given tamiflu. The medical center then notified the CDC of a suspected H7N9 avian flu case.
