The case has been registered in eastern China’s Jiangsu province. The world’s first case of a person's being infected with the bird flu virus H10N3 has been registered in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, the National Health Commission said during a news release on Friday.
At the end of April, a 41-year-old man within the city of Zhenjiang felt he was running a temperature. Several days later, when his condition turned worse, he visited medics and was taken to the hospital. His condition has stabilized now and he's ready for being discharged from the hospital.
On May 28, the national center for the control and prevention of disease examined the patient’s test samples to reach the conclusion that the person had been infected with H10N3. All of his contacts are anesthetize by medical observation, but no more cases of bird flu have occurred among them.
The news release says that H10N3 was transmitted from birds because the analysis of its genome showed that the virus doesn't possess an efficient capability to infect humans.
No cases of individuals being infected with H10N3 had been registered before rounding the word. The virus is transmitted among birds and is low-pathogenic.
