Her condition worsened on March 24 when she was sent to intensive care. On March 30, doctors confirmed that the patient was infected with H7N9 avian influenza and she was quarantined.

Summary:What appears to be an official government document detailing the fourth case of the H7N9 virus appeared on Weibo earlier this morning, officials have not confirmed whether or not the document is genuine.

Translated by Pang Lei

Domestic Chinese News outlets are reporting that a fourth person is said to be hospitalized after being found to have contracted a new strain of bird flu which has already killed two Chinese men in Shanghai and has left a third in a critical condition.

Reports of the new case are being based on what appears to be a copy of an official government document that was posted to Sina Weibo by the account "What's Happening in Nanjing" (@南京正在发生) at about 9.30am this morning. The image of the document was accompanied by the text - "Was there a case of an individual contracting the H7N9 virus discovered in Jiangning District?"

The document appears to be a report sent from an office of the Jiangning District Government to an office of the Nanjing City Government.

The document reveals that a case of H7N9 avian influenza had been "initially confirmed" by the centers for disease control and health departments in both Nanjing City and Jiangsu Province...

The woman from Binhu district of Wuxi City fell ill on March 21 and was transferred to an intensive care unit of a hospital in Wuxi after her condition worsened on March 28. She was first tested positive of H7N9 bird flu on March 31.

On Sunday, three H7N9 bird flu cases were reported, two in Shanghai and one in Anhui, the first human infections of the bird flu strain. The two in Shanghai died and the one from Anhui is in critical condition and under treatment in Nanjing.

It is unclear how the three got infected, and no mutual infections were discovered among them, said the National Health and Family Planning Commission Sunday. No abnormalities were detected among 88 of their closest contacts.

The subtype of H7N9 bird flu virus has not been contracted to human beings before. The virus shows no signs of being highly contagious among humans, according to the clinical observation on the cases' close contacts.

However, as only three cases of human infection of H7N9 have been found, relatively little research has been done on it. The expert team is working to study the toxicity and human-infection capacity of the virus, the commission said Sunday.

There are no vaccines against the H7N9 bird flu virus either at home or abroad.
