    Re: China - 7 confirmed cases of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza - Two fatalities - March 31 +

    This story has been floating around for a couple of days but those version lacked direct attribution of sources. But this article, although a little sensationalized, cites family members and friends as having been interviewed.

    The family of patient Wu, age 27, pork vendor, deceased (FT case #2) believes that he was infected with H7N9 while he was hospitalized with a case of "normal" pneumonia.

    We show an onset date of Feb. 19th, but wasn't hospitalized until March 3rd, when a diagnosis of "normal" pneumonia was made. He was then admitted to the same ward as the Li family (87 yr. old man and 2 sons, FT case #1), with no isolation precautions taken. On March 6, he was declared "critically ill", and died on March 10.

        Re: China - 7 confirmed cases of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza - Two fatalities - March 31 +

        The H7N9 human cases are related at the polymorphism level to widely circulating human virus patterns including pH1N1, sH3N2 and human H5N1. Each component of the H7N9 human cases carries sub-segment genetics that have seen mammalian adaptation, including the external proteins, Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase.

        A comprehensive evaluation for each HA polymorphism found on the 3 human H7N9 sequences was provided yesterday, demonstrating the Cross Serotype Homology details.
