Chinas' NEW Infection H3N8 Bird Flu-May Become Pandemic as First Human Dies
Gravitas: A New Kind of Bird Flu in China..
Has The Potential to Become a Pandemic.
Woman Becomes First Person in World to Die From H3N8 Bird Flu Strain in China
BBC 13 APR 2023
China has reported the first human death from the H3N8 bird flu. The deceased was a 56-year-old woman from the Guangdong province. Molly Gambhir reports.
A man in China was the first person to be infected by a new strain of Bird Flu. But, it is not the first time that China has reported a Bird Flu outbreak.
A woman in China has become the first person ever to die from the H3N8 strain of bird flu.
The 56-year-old first fell ill on February 22 and was taken to the hospital with severe pneumonia in March.
The woman, from the Guangdong province, died on March 16.
She is the third person ever to be officially diagnosed with H3N8, which is one of the most common strains in birds but the likelihood of spreading to humans is low.
The World Health Organization wrote in their latest assessment of the H3N8 infection that the woman had "multiple underlying conditions".
It added: "She had a history of exposure to live poultry before the onset of the disease, and a history of wild bird presence around her home. No close contacts of the case developed an infection or symptoms of illness at the time of reporting."
The WHO concluded that the woman picked the illness up from a wet market where she spent time.
The assessment read: "Environmental samples were collected from the patient's residence and the wet market where the patient spent time before the onset of illness.
"The results of testing showed that the samples collected from the wet market were positive for influenza A(H3)."
The other two who were infected were young boys, who became struck down in China in April and May last year.
Their cases were not linked and they both survived.
