China reports human case of H10N3 bird flu, a possible first

today

BEIJING (AP) — A man in eastern China has contracted what might be the world’s first human case of the H10N3 strain of bird flu, but the risk of large-scale spread is low, the government said Tuesday.

The 41-year-old man in Jiangsu province, northwest of Shanghai, was hospitalized April 28 and is in stable condition, the National Health Commission said on its website.

No human case of H10N3 has been reported elsewhere, the commission said.

“This infection is an accidental cross-species transmission,” its statement said. “The risk of large-scale transmission is low.”

China confirms first human case of H10N3 bird flu: report

Close contacts of the infected man were observed, and no additional cases have been found

By David Aaro | Fox News

China's National Health Commission (NHC) on Tuesday confirmed the infection in a 41-year-old man within the country's eastern province of Jiangsu, according to Reuters. 

The man, from Zhenjiang, was hospitalized on April 28 after developing a fever and other symptoms. He was diagnosed as having the H10N3 avian influenza virus a month later – though it was unclear how he became infected.

H10N3 is a less severe strain of the virus in poultry. The potential of it spreading over a wide-reaching area was low, according to the NHC. 

The most well-known avian flu strain, H5N1, has a 60% mortality rate, but the U.S. has yet to report any infections among people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Highly Pathogenic Asian Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus

While the risk from Asian H5N1 is low to most people, CDC recommends general precautions.

Sporadic human infections with Asian H5N1 virus have occurred in other countries, primarily in Asia and Africa. Most human infections with Asian H5N1 viruses in other countries have occurred after prolonged and close contact with infected sick or dead birds.

No animal or human infections with Asian H5N1 virus have occurred in the United States.
