China confirms 6 new H7N9 cases

Six more H7N9 avian flu infections were reported in China over the weekend in three provinces, continuing the steady stream of cases there this year.

Two cases each were reported in Anhui, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces on Feb 28 and Mar 1.

The first case in Anhui involves a 58-year-old woman in Tongling city who was exposed to live poultry before she became ill and was diagnosed on Feb 27, according to health ministry statements translated by *******, an infectious news message board. The second patient is a 58-year-old man in Anqing city who was diagnosed as having H7N9 on Feb 28 and also had poultry exposure. Both are in critical condition.

The cases in Zhejiang involve a 6-year-old child of unspecified sex and a 7-year-old girl in Dongyang, according to a Macao government statement translated by *******. At least one of them is listed in severe condition.

In Guangdong, two men, a 36-year-old in Foshan and a 45-year-old in Dongguan, are hospitalized in stable condition with H7N9, according to a news release yesterday from Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection (CHP).

The six cases push the global total to 622 since 2013, according to a case list maintained by *******. Almost all of the cases have occurred in China.
