Human infection with influenza A(H7N9) virus in China - update

6 APRIL 2013 - As of 6 April 2013 (16:45 CET), the Chinese health authorities notified WHO of an additional two laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with influenza A(H7N9) virus.

Both of these cases are from Shanghai. The first patient is a 74-year-old man, who became ill on 28 March 2013, and is now in critical condition. The other is a 66-year-old man who became ill on 29 March 2013 and is considered a mild case.

To date, a total of 18 cases have been laboratory confirmed with influenza A(H7N9) virus in China, including six deaths, ten severe cases and two mild cases.

More than 530 close contacts of the confirmed cases are being closely monitored. In Jiangsu, investigation is ongoing into a contact of an earlier confirmed case who developed symptoms of illness.

The Chinese government is actively investigating this event and has heightened disease surveillance. Retrospective testing of recently reported cases with severe respiratory infection may uncover additional cases that were previously unrecognized. An inter-government task force has been formally established, with the National Health and Family Planning Commission leading the coordination along with the Ministry of Agriculture and other key ministries. The animal health sector has intensified investigations into the possible sources and reservoirs of the virus.

WHO is in contact with national authorities and is following the event closely. The WHO-coordinated international response is also focusing on work with WHO Collaborating Centres for Reference and Research on Influenza and other partners to ensure that information is available and that materials are developed for diagnosis and treatment and vaccine development. No vaccine is currently available for this subtype of the influenza virus. Preliminary test results provided by the WHO Collaborating Centre in China suggest that the virus is susceptible to the neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir).

At this time there is no evidence of ongoing human-to-human transmission.

WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event, nor does it recommend that any travel or trade restrictions be applied. http://www.who.int/csr/don/2013_04_06/en/index.html

Dead man's family claims bird flu cover-up by hospital

•

Saturday, 06 April, 2013, 5:33am

Wu Demao was bewildered when he heard that his son-in-law, Wu Liangliang, who died on March 10 at Shanghai No 5 People's Hospital, was a victim of H7N9 bird flu.

"No one has so far officially informed us of the true cause of his death," Wu said. "It was one of our relatives who told us that the local television had reported that my son-in-law died of a new strain of bird flu."

Wu Liangliang, 27, from Yancheng in Jiangsu, was the second man found to have caught H7N9 flu in Shanghai, the city government announced at a press conference on Tuesday, giving only his family name.

He arrived in Shanghai in February to visit his parents-in-law and helped Wu Demao, a pork vendor at a wet market on Jinggu Road in Minhang district.

Wu Liangliang suffered from high fever in late February and initial treatment by a nearby clinic and the No5 People's Hospital proved unsuccessful. He was admitted on March 1.

Doctors told the family he had pneumonia and he was not put into quarantine, Wu Demao said.

The hospital paid the family 130,000 yuan (HK$161,000) in compensation on March 26, saying it was for humanitarian reasons and for its minor responsibility in Wu Liangliang's treatment, without elaborating.

"They should have been responsible for giving us the true reason for his death," Wu Demao said. "We couldn't understand why a healthy young man could have passed away so quickly."

Family members are angry, accusing the hospital of covering up Wu Liangliang's illness.

"We went to ask the hospital to clarify whether it was the bird flu that killed him, but their attitude was rude and unacceptable," Wu Demao said. "They said we should go ask the television station to check out whether the death was due to bird flu."

The central and municipal authorities have pledged to ensure transparency in informing the media and the public of the extent of the H7N9 outbreak.

The No5 People's Hospital turned down an interview request on Thursday.

Wu Demao said his family was considering appeals to the Shanghai and central governments in their fight for justice.

"But I am still worried whether high-level officials would protect the hospital. We are ordinary civilians and it is a hospital controlled and run by the government," he said.  http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1208123/i-was-not-officially-told-cause-death-says-father-law-h7n9-flu
