ONE of two people confirmed by the China Ministry of Health to have contracted highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 died in a hospital in southwestern city of Guiyang this morning.
The patient, a 21-year-old woman, died of multiple organ failures in Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital at 9:41am today.
The other patient, a 31-year-old man, is still receiving treatment at the hospital.
An investigation did not find the two had contacts with fowls before they fell ill, the ministry said.
People who had close contacts with the two patients have been put under medical observation, but none of them has been found ill so far.
The human-infected highly pathogenic avian influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease mainly caused by the deadly H5N1 subtype virus. The main symptoms include high fever and pneumonia.
The human case of bird flu is mainly transmitted from poultry to humans and there are no reported outbreaks of sustained human-to-human transmission.
