China - Zhejiang: Shortage of blood supplies - especially type A

Call for blood donations

Treatment of H7N9 cases blamed

Hangzhou, Zhejiang

There are 34 known H7N9 cases receiving treatment in Zhejiang province. The population of this province is approximately 54 million. It is hard to believe that just 34 cases have caused a shortage in blood supplies for the entire province or Hangzhou where the population is 8.8 million.

China - Beijing: 4 unexplained pneumonia patients in 1 week

Viral cause expected due to H7N9 testing, but no species or serotype disclosed.

Suspect for Influenza A UnSubTypable

A negative test finding for Influenza, especially Emergent H7N9 is not a cause for exclusion. Several on the FT Human Emergent H7N9 Case List were tested and sent home on a false negative prior to manifesting a fatal outcome. A 60% to 90% False Negative level occured during the start of the pH1N1 on various tests.

And, of course, most Rapid Influenza tests may be gamed by the tester by biasing the sample location and / or sample collection timing.
