The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) is today (March 6) closely monitoring an additional human case of avian influenza A(H7N9) on the Mainland, and again urged the public to maintain strict personal, food and environmental hygiene both locally and during travel.
According to the Health and Family Planning Commission of Anhui Province, a male patient aged 79 with poultry exposure before onset was hospitalised for management in critical condition.
To date, 597 human cases of avian influenza A(H7N9) have been reported by the Mainland health authorities in Guangdong (179 cases), Zhejiang (156 cases), Jiangsu (70 cases), Fujian (58 cases), Shanghai (45 cases), Hunan (24 cases), Anhui (24 cases), Xinjiang (10 cases), Jiangxi (nine cases), Shandong (six cases), Beijing (five cases), Henan (four cases), Guangxi (three cases), Jilin (two cases), Guizhou (one case) and Hebei (one case).
As mentioned previously, H7N9 reporting from many of Mainland China’s provinces has been sporadic this winter, and so we are even less certain than usual over the size and scope of this year’s outbreak. Hopefully some of the gaps in our data will be filled in as monthly epidemiological reports are filed by these provinces.
Surveillance and reporting – even at its best – can only be expected to measure the tip of the iceberg, as only the `sickest of the sick’ are apt to seek medical help, and are positioned to be tested and counted.
Despite these deficits in reporting, we’ve seen nothing to indicate any change in the way the virus is spreading, and the primary risk remains direct contact with infected birds.
Meanwhile, the Anhui Provincial Health & Family Planning Department also reported the death today of a previously announced case (from February).
