China reports 4 more H7N9 cases as Taiwan announces imported case

In a sign of an ongoing steady stream of H7N9 avian flu cases, five new infections have been reported, four from China's mainland plus an imported infection in Taiwan, according to statements yesterday and today from Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection (CHP).

The cases reported from the mainland include two in Hunan province and one each in Guangxi and Hubei provinces. The patients in Hunan province are both from Changsha, a 37-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, both of whom were exposed to poultry and are hospitalized in serious condition.

Guangxi province's case-patient is a 32-year-old man from Guigang who had worked in Guangdong province before he got sick and is now hospitalized in critical condition. The patient from Hubei province is a man from Honghu, but no other details were available.

Meanwhile, Taiwan's case involves a 69-year-old man who got sick on Jan 23 while in Guangdong province, the CHP said. He returned to Taiwan on Jan 25 for medical care, and his H7N9 infection was confirmed on Feb 4.

China is in its fifth wave of H7N9 activity, which saw an early, large surge of cases (106) in December, followed by even more (183) in January. So far at least 295 cases have been reported this season, which is approaching the record 319 cases reported during the mainland's second wave, which occurred in the winter of 2013-14.

Even with China apparently not reporting every case this time around, it's definitely getting worse rather than better. This bug seems to be developing a taste for humans Confused
