A 21-YEAR-OLD female farmer was confirmed to be infected with bird flu in central China's Hunan Province, the provincial health bureau said yesterday.
The farmer, surnamed Shu, fell ill on January 23 in Xupu County and was hospitalized at the county's People's Hospital on Monday, said a report from the bureau.
Shu was transferred to another hospital in Changsha, the provincial capital, on Thursday. So far her condition has been stable and she is said to be recovering.
According to the results of a test conducted on Friday by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the patient tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza.
An investigation found that Shu had been in contact with fowl that died of the disease before becoming sick.
Hunan has reacted swiftly to curb the spread of the virus. Those who had close contact with the patient are under observation, but none has fallen ill so far.
The health ministry said it had reported the bird flu case to the World Health Organization and informed the health authorities of Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions as well as relevant countries.
