A WOMAN has died in southwest China’s Yunnan Province after contracting H5N6 avian flu.
The 37-year-old from the city of Shangri-La developed symptoms last Monday and died on Friday, health authorities said. Experts believe it be an isolated case, and said nobody in close contact with the patient had reported symptoms. In May last year, a man from Yunnan’s neighboring Sichuan Province died after contracting H5N6 in the world’s first known human infection with the strain. The virus had previously been isolated to waterfowl and wild ducks, experts said.
