Print Edition
Two more human cases of H7N9 bird flu have been confirmed in south China’s Guangdong Province, the provincial health authority said yesterday.
Both the patients are men. One is from the provincial capital of Guangzhou and the other hails from Yangjiang City. They are both in critical condition, according to the provincial health and family planning commission.
One of them, a 47-year-old live poultry vendor, contracted the virus on December 25.
The other, a 71-year-old farmer in Yangdong County, was found with the flu on January 1. He had no direct contact with live poultry.
No abnormal conditions have been found in the 120-plus people who were in close contact with both men.
Guangdong has reported eight human cases of H7N9 bird flu since August.
