Xinhua Taiyuan January 18 (Xinhua Gao Feng晏国G) reporter on the 18th from the Shanxi Province Health Department was informed that in Shanxi Province on the 17th confirmed human infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza cases in children have been transferred to hospitals -- Taiyuan Fourth People's Hospital for treatment. 截至18日12时,患儿病情危重,生命体征平稳。 As at 12 o'clock on the 18th, children in a critical condition, vital signs were stable. 卫生部、山西省组成的专家组正在全力组织救治。 Ministry of Health, composed of the Expert Group in Shanxi Province are going all out to organizations for medical treatment. 对67名密切接触者进行医学观察,均未出现发热等症状。 67 close contacts of those who carried out medical observation, no symptoms such as fever. 山西省卫生厅确诊一例人感染高致病性禽流感病例 Shanxi Provincial Health Department confirmed case of human infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza cases

1月14日晚山西省儿童医院收治该患儿,15日上午山西省卫生厅组织省级专家会诊,诊断为不明原因肺炎,不排除人感染高致病性禽流感,在积极救治和开展流调的同时,立即报山西省委、省政府和卫生部。 The evening of January 14 in Shanxi Province Children's Hospital treated the children, 15 in Shanxi Province on the morning of the provincial Health Organization expert consultation, diagnosed as pneumonia of unknown causes, not rule out the possibility of human infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza, in the active treatment and flow tune at the same time and immediately reported to the Shanxi provincial government and the Ministry of Health. 省委、省政府高度重视,省委书记张宝顺、省长王君作出批示,卫生部门紧急安排救治和防控工作,确定太原市第四人民医院和山西汾阳医院为当地定点医院,省及太原、吕梁疾控机构开展流行病学调查,确定67名密切接触者进行医学观察,开展应急监测、消毒工作和疫情日报。 Provincial party committee and government attach great importance to the provincial party secretary Zhang Baoshun and governor Wang Jun given instructions of emergency arrangements for the health sector for treatment and prevention and control work to determine the Fourth People's Hospital in Taiyuan, Shanxi Fenyang hospitals and hospitals for local, provincial and Taiyuan , Luliang disease control agencies to carry out epidemiological investigation to determine the 67 close contacts under medical observation, to carry out emergency monitoring, disinfection work and the epidemic daily.

经过卫生部专家会诊,山西省疾病预防控制中心、国家疾病预防控制中心、中国医学科学院严密的实验室检测,17日卫生部人禽流感防控专家组确定该患儿为人感染高致病性禽流感病例。 After the Ministry of Health expert consultation, Shanxi Province Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Disease Prevention and Control Center, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences stringent laboratory tests, on the 17th human avian influenza prevention and control of the Ministry of Health expert group to determine the children being infected with highly pathogenic Avian influenza cases. 受卫生部委托山西省卫生厅发布信息。 Shanxi Province by the Ministry of Health commissioned the Health Department released information. 山西省正式启动突发公共卫生事件Ⅱ级应急响应。 Shanxi Province launched a public health emergency Ⅱ-class emergency response. 各级卫生行政部门和医疗卫生机构加强组织领导、强化疫情监测、开展健康教育,做好卫生应急各项准备工作,防范突发急性传染病疫情。 Health administrative departments at all levels and health institutions to strengthen organization and leadership, strengthening the epidemic monitoring, carried out health education, good health emergency all the preparatory work, to guard against sudden acute infectious diseases.

据专家介绍,禽流感病毒通常感染鸡、鸭等家禽及候鸟,人对禽流感病毒一般不易感。 According to experts, the avian flu virus usually infected chickens, ducks and other poultry and migratory birds for avian flu virus were generally not susceptible. 人感染高致病性禽流感主要是通过接触病死禽及其分泌物和排泄物感染发病,如果没有这些接触史,就能避免人禽流感病例的发生。 Of human infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza primarily through contact with dead birds and their secretions and faeces infection, if there is no history of these contacts, we can avoid the human avian influenza cases occurred. 虽然已有人感染高致病性禽流感的个案,但尚没有证据证明禽流感病毒可以在人与人之间传播。 Although it has been infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza cases, but there is no evidence that avian influenza virus can spread from person to person.

A 2 year old girl has been confirmed to be infected with bird flu in north
China's Shanxi Province, Xinhua News Agency said on Sunday [18 Jan 2009],
citing a provincial government official, in the 2nd case in as many weeks.
The girl was found ill on 7 Jan 2009 in central Hunan Province and was
taken to hospital in Luliang City of Shanxi on 11 Jan 2009, Xinhua said,
citing an unnamed official with the Shanxi provincial health department.
The girl had tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza and
"was in critical condition," Xinhua cited the official as saying.

"All people who have had close contact with her are under strict medical
observation ... Up to now, no abnormal symptoms have been found," a
statement on China's Health Ministry website <http://www.moh.gov.cn> said.
The Health Ministry had notified the World Health Organization, authorities
in Hong Kong and Macau, and some other countries, the statement said.

China confirmed earlier this month [January 2009] that a woman infected
with bird flu had died in Beijing after buying 9 ducks at a market in Hebei
province, which surrounds the Chinese capital, sparking emergency checks of
local poultry markets. H5N1 influenza remains largely a disease among
birds, but experts fear it could change into a form that is easily
transmitted from person to person and spark a pandemic that could kill
millions of people worldwide.

At least 21 people have died of bird flu out of 32 people infected in China.

Hi Farmer,

The article is an English translation of a Vietnamese news article presumably based on translated Chinese media reports from China. I would doubt that Vietnam has special access to additional information about human cases in China. I take it as a multi language translation problem. I would be more concern with similar translations from media reports originating in China.

China reports 2nd bird flu death this year

By AUDRA ANG ? 54 minutes ago
BEIJING (AP) ? A 16-year-old boy has been infected with the H5N1 virus, the Health Ministry said Monday, the fourth reported case this month. Bird flu has killed two people in China this year and authorities warn the risk of infection may go up during the Lunar New Year as families gather for traditional meals that often include poultry.
The teenager, a student surnamed Wu, fell ill in his hometown in Guizhou province in the country's southwest on Jan. 8 and was currently in critical condition, the ministry said on its Web site.
It said the boy had been in contact with domestic poultry that had died from illness but did not elaborate. Those in close contact with Wu have not shown signs of infection, the ministry said.
The announcement followed the death of a woman, whose surname was Zhang, living in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province. She died Saturday, the ministry said. The notice did not say how Zhang, 27, who fell sick on Jan. 5, contracted the virus.
Less than two weeks ago, a 19-year-old woman died from the H5N1 virus in a Beijing hospital after buying and cleaning ducks in a market in a neighboring province. It was the first death from bird flu since last February.
Also Monday, a 2-year-old girl was in critical condition in the northern province of Shanxi with bird flu. Ta Kung Pao, a Hong Kong newspaper backed by the mainland's communist authorities, reported that the girl's mother died recently of what doctors "highly suspected" was also bird flu. The paper did not give any other details, and Shanxi health officials refused to comment on the mother's death.
The girl tested positive for H5N1 after falling ill on Jan. 7, the Health Ministry said.
The cases come at a worrisome time for Chinese authorities as tens of millions of people are on the move between cities and rural hometowns for Lunar New Year, the country's biggest holiday, which begins on Jan. 26.
Dishes prepared from freshly slaughtered chicken and duck feature prominently in celebration feasts. That means a potentially greater risk of exposure to sick birds as people shop in markets and handle poultry or when the birds are transported to be sold, said the World Health Organization's Beijing office.
The WHO said it was prepared to provide technical assistance to China if asked and urged people to take precautions against bird flu infections by washing their hands after handling raw meat and ensuring all poultry is well cooked.
While bird flu remains hard for humans to catch ? with most cases linked to contact with infected birds ? scientists have warned that if outbreaks among poultry are not controlled, the virus may mutate into a form more easily passed between people.
Chinese Health Ministry spokesman Mao Qun'an said last week that the public should minimize contact with poultry, especially sick or dead ones, and that medical institutions should step up surveillance of flu cases, especially during the New Year holiday.
Health officials say that the winter months can bring an increase in bird flu cases because the H5N1 virus can survive longer in cold weather and have a bigger chance of infecting poultry ? and possibly humans. Winter is also when many people in rural areas bring live poultry into their homes to protect them from the cold.
The virus, which has ravaged poultry stocks across Asia since 2003, has continued a path of infection.
Last week, Nepal reported that chickens tested positive for H5N1 there ? the first time known instance of the virus in the Himalayan nation.
In Vietnam, animal health officials said they detected the bird flu virus in chickens smuggled from neighboring China. An 8-year-old girl was also reported sick with H5N1 earlier this month, the first human case reported in the country in nearly a year.
According to the latest World Health Organization figures, bird flu has killed 248 people worldwide since 2003.
