Re: Jiangsu - 3 cases of H7N9, 2 fatal in May

I think the 3 cases in May referred to above are the following:

#440 - Man, 66, [Zhongmou] Wuxi City, onset of symptoms on 20 April, hospitalized on 25 April in a critical condition, history of exposure to live poultry.contact with pigeons Jiangsu province

#448 - Man, 51, hospitalized Jiangsu province

#449 - Woman, 51, hospitalized Jiangsu province


There is not enough information to be able to connect the 2 deaths to any particular case. 2 of these cases are mentioned in the June 10th report from the WHO but no deaths are noted.
