Last updated: Sunday 18 January 2009 16:00 UTC

A woman in the Chinese province of Shandong has died of the H5N1 variant of the bird flu virus. This is the second death as a result of bird flu in a month. The 27-year-old woman fell ill two weeks ago. The health authorities in the eastern province have confirmed that she was infected with the potentially fatal variant of the virus.

Nearly 250 people have died as a result of the H5N1 strain of bird flu since 2003. The disease is transmitted by direct contact with infected birds or their excrement.

China reports second bird flu death this month

<HR>Agence France-Presse | 01/19/2009 12:07 AM
Printer-friendly version | Send to friend
BEIJING - A woman has died of bird flu in east China's Shandong province, state media said Sunday, reporting the nation's second death from the disease this month.
The 27-year-old, surnamed Zhang, fell ill on January 5 and died Saturday evening, the Xinhua news agency said, citing the Shandong provincial health department.
The national disease prevention and control centre on Sunday confirmed that she was infected with the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, according to Xinhua.
It brings to 22 the number of people in China who have died from the virus since 2003.
Earlier this month, a 19-year-old woman died of bird flu in Beijing -- the country's first fatal case in nearly a year -- after handling ducks she had bought in a market.
The report of Zhang's death came a day after Chinese state media said that a two-year-old girl had fallen ill from bird flu. The toddler was reported to be in a critical condition in Sunday evening primetime TV news.
People who were in close contact with Zhang are now under close observation, but so far no one has fallen ill, the China News Service said.
China has reported the case to the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as health authorities in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, according to the China News Service.
Bird flu outbreaks tend to happen in the winter months, when low temperatures create more favorable conditions for the virus to spread.
Prior to this month's cases, and in addition to the fatalities, 10 Chinese were known to have contracted bird flu but survived.
According to the WHO, about 250 people have died from bird flu worldwide since 2003.
Scientists fear the virus could mutate to jump easily from human to human, potentially sparking a global pandemic.

Fatal H5N1 Case in Shandong China Increases Concerns
Recombinomics Commentary 15:46
January 18, 2009

The 27-year-old woman surnamed Zhang, from Jinan, capital of China's eastern Shandong province, died on Saturday after falling ill on Jan. 5

The above comments describe the third confirmed H5N1 case in China this month (see updated map). This case is in addition to the fatality in Beijing (19F) and the critical case originating in Hunan (2F) and all three follow confirmation of two bird outbreaks in Jiangsu last month. The outbreaks in Jiangsu involved asymptomatic poultry infected with clade 7, a clade that is significantly different than the clade 1 and clade 2 targets of avian and human vaccines, raising concerns that clade 7 is silently spreading in China and cause fatal infections this month.

China reports two new cases of bird flu, one dead

By Ian Ransom
BEIJING, Jan 18 (Reuters) - A woman in eastern China has died and a two year-old girl is critically ill in northern China after becoming infected with bird flu, state media said on Sunday.
The 27-year-old woman from Jinan, capital of China's Shandong province, died on Saturday after falling ill on Jan. 5, Xinhua said, citing an unnamed official with the provincial health department. It gave her surname as Zhang.
The two-year-old girl, surnamed Peng, was found ill on Jan. 7 in central Hunan Province and taken to a hospital in her home province of Shanxi on Jan. 11, Xinhua news agency said, citing an unnamed official with the provincial health department.
After not reporting a single human infection in almost a year, China has now confirmed three cases in two weeks.
Health authorities said earlier this month a woman infected with bird flu had died in Beijing after buying ducks at a market in Hebei province, which surrounds the Chinese capital, sparking emergency checks of local poultry markets.
Experts said the case was not unexpected as the virus is more active during the cooler months between October and March, but pointed to holes in surveillance of the virus in poultry.
China's Agriculture Ministry said last week it had found no bird flu cases among poultry in Beijing or other areas surrounding the city during checks after the woman's death.
The H5N1 virus remains largely a disease among birds but experts fear it could change into a form that is easily transmitted among humans, and spark a pandemic that could kill millions of people worldwide.
With the world's biggest poultry population and hundreds of millions of backyard birds, China is seen as critical in the fight to contain bird flu.
GIRL CRITICAL
The national disease prevention and control center on Sunday confirmed Zhang, the 27-year-old woman, had been infected with bird flu, Xinhua said, but provided no other details.
China's Health Ministry said in a statement on its website (www.moh.gov.cn) that authorities had confirmed on Saturday that the two-year-old girl had been infected with the virus.
The statement did not say how the girl had become infected. There have not been any reports of outbreaks of the virus among birds in Hunan since May 2007.
"Currently, the girl's condition is critical. Shanxi health departments are currently fighting to save her with the guidance of a team of health experts," the Health Ministry said.
"All people who have had close contact with her are under strict medical observation," it said. It added that the World Health Organisation (WHO), and health authorities in Hong Kong, Macau and some other countries had been notified.
Calls placed to health departments in Shanxi province went unanswered.
WHO said China's Health Ministry had notified them of the toddler's infection, but could not provide more details. "We are staying in close contact with the Health Ministry," a spokeswoman from WHO's China office told Reuters.
Since the H5N1 virus resurfaced in Asia in 2003, it has infected 391 people, killing 247 of them, according to WHO figures released in mid-December.
The toddler's infection brings China's total to 33 human bird flu cases, of which at least 22 people have died. (Additional reporting by Lu Jiansheng; editing by Myra MacDonald)
