Abstract
Since the first human case of influenza A virus subtype H7N9 was reported in Shanghai, China in March 2013, there have been two H7N9-infected children and one healthy H7N9 carrier. With a brief introduction to the basic information of the three children, this paper discusses the variation of Avian influenza virus by referring to the literature, suggests that human-to-human transmission is not confirmed in the small outbreak, and reviews the measures for preventing and treating H7N9 infection in humans. In addition, this paper talks about the use of tamiflu in early stage of infection and the use of peramivir when the patient's condition is severe.
