China reports its 6th victim of swine flu



CHINA yesterday confirmed its sixth case of swine flu - a 23-year-old male student who arrived in Hong Kong from the United States on Saturday.

Also yesterday, the first swine flu patient in the Chinese mainland was discharged from hospital at 4pm in southwestern Sichuan Province.

As of yesterday, the province had lifted the quarantine for all the 166 people who had been exposed to the patient surnamed Bao, said Shen Ji, director of the provincial health department.

The 30-year-old student, who also returned to China from a US university, started experiencing symptoms of fever, sore throat and cough after arriving in Chengdu, Sichuan's capital. He was confirmed as swine flu patient on May 11.

Another flu patient, surnamed Lu, is recovering in the Infectious Disease Hospital in Jinan City, in east China's Shandong Province.

"We are preparing to discharge Lu as he shows no more flu symptoms," said Chen shijun, the hospital's president. "If he shows no symptoms for three days and is tested negative for A/H1N1, he will be discharged."

China has reported three confirmed cases of swine flu in the mainland, with the latest one in Beijing late on Saturday.

The 18-year-old female patient surnamed Liu, also a returned Chinese student from the US, was in a stable condition with a normal body temperature, Beijing health authorities said.

"There is nothing to fear," Liu said in a telephone interview. "It's just a new flu, a not-so-terrible one."

Liu only had contact with her mother and a taxi driver who carried her to the Peking University Hospital. Neither had shown flu symptoms, Beijing Health Bureau said.

Fang Laiying, the bureau director, expressed appreciation to Liu for avoiding meeting people and keeping a clear diary about her journey.

"She even kept the receipt from the taxi driver, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find that person," Fang said.

Liu had been to New Jersey in the US, but had no contact with any flu patients or pigs. Fellow passengers and the crew on her flight, Continental Airlines C089, were all fine.

Premier Wen Jiabao visited her in Beijing's Ditan Hospital yesterday and spoke to her via a video link.

Wen said overseas students in epidemic areas should learn more to protect themselves from the flu and understand the preventive and control measures China has taken.

He urged medical staff to enhance self-protection and prevent hospital infection and the spread of the disease.

Wen said that judging from the current situation, China's swine flu prevention and control measures were effective and well organized.

"With the spreading of the flu in some countries, we should not lower our guard against it," he said.

Mainland reports 60 confirmed flu cases

The Ministry of Health Thursday reported two more confirmed A(H1N1) flu case, bringing the total number of infections on the mainland to 60.

One of the cases reported by the Beijing health bureau was a 24-year-old Chinese national who arrived in Beijing on May 31 from New York on board Air China flight CA982. He tested positive for H1N1 on Wednesday night.

Shanxi province also reported its first case. A 20-year-old Chinese flew from Canada to Beijing before taking another flight to Taiyuan,Shanxi's capital, on May 30.

The State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) said a Chinese drug company -- Hualan Biological Engineering Inc -- received the H1N1 vaccine virus sample from a lab of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Hualan, the largest seasonal flu vaccine producer in the country, received the sample on Wednesday night, Yin Hongzhang, head of the SFDA biology production office, told Xinhua.

"Among the rest of the 10 qualified flu vaccines manufacturers, some also applied to the WHO for seed viruses," Yin said. "They will also receive the seed viruses soon."

Fan Bei, Hualan's deputy general manager, said much testing is still needed on the safety and dosage required.

"We will arrange the production according to the guidance of the SFDA and WHO," he said.

Yin expected the first batch of vaccines could be produced from late July.

But the country was still waiting for the WHO to make the decision on whether H1N1 flu should be categorized as seasonal or pandemic.

If it is a seasonal flu vaccine, the first batch would be 3 million doses and the annual output could breach 360 million.

But, for a pandemic vaccine, the first batch would only be 250,000 doses and annual production will be 27 million as China only has one pandemic flu vaccine producer, Yin said.

WHO Assistant Director-general Keiji Fukuda said WHO is getting closer to declaring a full pandemic of H1N1 flu.

Seasonal flu occurs annually in predictable patterns, allowing people to develop resistance, while pandemic flu is rare, meaning that it is difficult for people to develop resistance. In the latter case, vaccine doses need to be higher to be effective.

Chinese medical experts said thatChinahas a susceptible population of 200 million including 5,000 pregnant women, and the country should pay special attention to H1N1 flu prevention.
