Avian flu victim dies in Beijing hospital
Print Edition
A MAN infected with the H7N9 avian influenza died of multiple organ failure yesterday, local authorities said.
The 61-year-old patient was transferred from the city of Langfan in north China’s Hebei Province to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital for treatment on July 18. He was tested positive for the H7N9 virus on July 20.
A single human infection of H7N9 was confirmed in southern Guangdong Province last Friday, bringing the total number of infections on the Chinese mainland to 134 this year. Forty-four of the infections have resulted in death.
Authorities halted their emergency response to the H7N9 outbreak in late May. However, a National Health and Family Planning Commission spokesman said authorities have been monitoring the situation.
Earlier this month, researchers in eastern Jiangsu Province said the H7N9 virus may be capable of human-to-human transmissions but that they are limited and non-sustainable.
