Extract:

In Shandong, experts confirmed an H7N9 bird flu case in the city of Zaozhuang on Sunday. The patient, a four-year-old boy surnamed Zhang, developed a fever on Saturday.

The boy is the son of Shandong's first confirmed H7N9 patient. But initial investigation found no evidence of human-to-human infection, according to a statement from the provincial public health department.

The statement said the boy is in stable condition.

Xu Jianguo, a researcher with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said on Sunday that the chance of a major H7N9 outbreak is slim, although the situation must not be taken lightly and monitoring should be intensified.

"The biggest technical obstacle for prevention is that we don't know where the virus-carrying birds are or where they will go," Xu said, adding that the epidemic is not likely to disappear soon.

Xu said human infections are not related to seasonal changes.
He called for focusing on effective efforts to control sources of infection.

"Taking the cure within 48 hours of onset, which is very timely." Tall Chuan said, according to the child's weight, the children have been taking a 45 mg dose of Tamiflu.

The & Sons symptoms associated?

On a time basis, the children are the father hospitalized six days, was found to have a fever. As the original 12 in close contact with one of the children in the Interrupted been determined not showing flu-like symptoms, overwhelmed diagnosed is a "human-to-human transmission performance?

Tall Chuan, because the presence of a history of close contact, not directly related to exclude possible, but only from the point of view of symptoms, the gap between the two is obvious.

Father's illness rapid development, deteriorating fast. "Tall Chuan said, the development of the children's condition is relatively stable," according to the comparison diagnosis of the beginning of the incidence and six hours later, the development of the children's condition and did not show the rapidly deteriorating situation.

Some further details on the father/son cases. It's interesting to note that the child has an increased white cell count even though leukopenia has been identified as one of the key symptoms in confirmed H7N9 cases. The reason given for the child's count is that there is apparently a bacterial co-infection.

The article also gives some time references for onset in both cases. Apparently, Chinese medical authorities are sticking to the premise that the incubation period is no longer than 7 days. Their theory seems to be that since the child became ill 8 days after his father was hospitalized, this can't be a case of H2H.

"Shandong infected with H7N9 & Sons symptoms gap significantly difficult to support human-to-human transmission

China news agency, Jinan, April 29 (Reporter Kong Fanyuan) - The Shandong Zaozhuang father and son have confirmed human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza, at present, only from the point of view of clinical symptoms, father and son performance difference is obvious on avian flu "human-to-human transmission to say there is no clear evidence to support the provincial medical treatment team leader, the Shandong Province Chest Hospital Dean Professor Gao Taichuan 29, said in an interview with China news agency reporters.

Tall Chuan said, "I Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital of these cases of H7N9 avian influenza cases Sons consultation just returned to Jinan children are pediatric infections emergency room for treatment, children with the disease situation is relatively stable, normal eating and sleeping, showing the local symptoms of pneumonia, but her condition is not severe but not critical condition. based on clinical diagnosis, the children viruses and bacteria combined infection, white blood cell count is high. development of the children's condition is relatively stable, according to the incidence of early and contrast six hours after the diagnosis, the development of the children's condition and did not show the rapid deterioration of the situation. "

The progression of the disease but the children's father is unstable, on admission, no obvious pathological symptoms, but the hospital after 4 hours, the rapid development of the disease, the rate of deterioration soon. "Tall Chuan said the children's father after 7 days after emergency treatment, although not completely out of danger, but relatively stable vital signs, do not need the support of ECMO (artificial heart-lung machine).

Tall Chuan, because the presence of a history of close contact, not directly related to exclude possible, but only from the point of view of symptoms, the gap between the two is obvious. The same time, on a time basis, the degree of association of the symptoms of the father and son do not have the "human-to-human transmission performance. H7N9 avian influenza longest incubation period of seven days, the children in father hospitalized for 8 days, was found to have a fever, children diagnosed with the H7N9 avian influenza patients time the past 10 days. This case, the emergence of the cases of familial aggregation, does not mean that the virus H7N9 has mutated into a human influenza virus continued to spread from person to person. Currently, the state health department epidemiological investigation and laboratory tracking of all cases, it is still the main mode of transmission of infection from birds to people. "
