        WHO report - I will be updating our list to include some of these case details but the overall case number does not increase. Mid-month to mid-month reporting does not add clarity. The China HFPC announces cases per a traditional monthly calendar basis.


        Human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus ? China

        Disease outbreak news
        17 May 2016


        On 10 May 2016, the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) of China notified WHO of 11 additional laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus, including 4 deaths.
        Onset dates range from 23 March to 21 April. The cases range in age from 23 to 69 years, with a median age of 52 years. Of these 11 cases, 7 (64%) are male. The majority (10 cases, 91%) reported exposure to live poultry, slaughtered poultry or live poultry markets. One (1) case has a history of selling pork in a market.
        Cases were reported from 5 provinces and municipalities: Jiangsu (6), Jiangxi (2), Anhui (1), Shandong (1) and Zhejiang (1).
        One cluster was reported. It includes:
        • A 23-year-old male from Jiangxi Province who developed symptoms on 1 April and was admitted to hospital on 8 April. He purchased poultry at a live poultry market. The patient is currently in critical condition.
        • A 43-year-old female case from Jiangxi Province who developed symptoms on 5 April and was admitted to hospital on 15 April. She was exposed to slaughtered poultry at a market and was also exposed to the 23-year-old male. She is currently in critical condition.
        Human to human transmission between the two patients cannot be ruled out, even though they both have a history of poultry exposure. Further information is awaited.

          The above WHO and CHP reports do not match on the 11 cases. I am not adding any cases to our case list. We have already accounted for all past cases per China HFPC monthly reports.
