              The Illness Control Agency on February 13 from February 4 this year, the first confirmed H7N9 outside the case moved to the case of the successful separation of the virus, and on February 15 to complete the whole gene sequence analysis, the relevant sequence message was on February 16 to provide farmers The committee was regularly distributed to the global GISAID website to share with the world, and today the meeting was confirmed by the Expert Advisory Committee on Influenza Advisory Committee. The results showed that the H7N9 influenza virus was isolated from the case, and its erythrocyte lectin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) protein gene were similar to H7N9 influenza virus isolated from China. Other internal protein gene combinations Compared with the current virus is slightly different, may be a new genotype, the birds with high pathogenicity, but no enhancement of birds or human transmission ability of the mutation.   

              The Agency has said that the addition of three basic amino acids to the H7N9 virus isolated from the case of the HA protein cleavage may increase its pathogenicity in poultry. In addition, further gene sequence analysis showed that the NA protein of the virus has a mutation, anti-viral agents such as influenza and Ruileansa drug resistance, experts speculate that the treatment process may be selected from the drug resistance virus. The Department of Health (DH) immediately informed the care team as a treatment reference when the virus resistance was detected on February 15, and the current case is still in serious hospitalization. UNDCP and COA will keep abreast of trends in the international human and bird H7N9 virus epidemic strains, strengthen immediate epidemic surveillance and virus surveillance, and today announced the update of the new clinical guidelines for influenza A influenza A to ensure that people health.

In addition, the health unit is also active in daily understanding of the case; the other case after the diagnosis, that is, all relevant contacts to investigate and book, for close contacts are given appropriate health education and open independent health notice. The total number of contacts related to a total of 141 people, were on February 13 to lift the tube.   

              According to the World Health Organization in April 2013 issued by the epidemic news (https://goo.gl/qLijxc) content, the first batch of Chinese mainland H7N9 cases in Shanghai 2 cases, 1 case of Anhui, 3 people between the onset time Between 19 February and 15 March 2013, all cases developed severe pneumonia. These cases until March 29 to obtain the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory confirmed H7N9 flu, from the onset to the diagnosis of up to 13 to 38 days. It is not true that the World H7N9 first appeared in Shanghai, where the local medical institutions confirmed and completed the virus.   

              China has accumulated 426 cases of H7N9 flu cases since the beginning of this season (October 1, 2016), has exceeded the calendar year, the number of cases in Jiangsu Province, 124 cases, 75 cases of Zhejiang Province, Guangdong Province, 47 cases and 45 cases of Anhui Province Many cases of poultry, live poultry market exposure history, to more than 50 years of age groups. Global cumulative since 2013, 1,224 cases, the World Health Organization (WHO) update as of January 16 this year, cumulative 359 deaths.
