The SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) epidemic is still spreading around the world. A man has been infected with H10N3 avian influenza in Jiangsu Province recently. This is the world’s first human case of avian influenza and arouses high levels of vigilance.
The National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China reported on 1 June 2021 that a 41-year-old man from Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province developed fever and other symptoms on 23 April, and his condition worsened on 28 April and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
On 28 May, the China CDC conducted a whole-genome sequence determination on patient specimens sent from Jiangsu, and the result was positive for the H10N3 virus. This is the first human case of H10N3 avian influenza found in the world.
Officials claimed that the patient is currently in stable condition. Jiangsu Province has conducted medical observations of all close contacts and conducted emergency monitoring locally, but no abnormalities have been found for the time being.
The authorities have asked Jiangsu Province to conduct epidemic prevention and control and organize a team of experts to conduct risk assessments. Experts suggest that people should avoid contact with sick and dead poultry in their daily lives, try to avoid direct contact with live poultry, and pay attention to dietary hygiene. If fever and respiratory symptoms occur, they should wear a mask and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Experts assessed that the entire genetic analysis of the virus showed that the H10N3 virus was of avian origin and did not have the ability to effectively infect humans. The epidemic is an occasional poultry-to-human cross-species transmission, and the risk of a large-scale spread is extremely low.
However, in view of the opaque handling of the CCP virus outbreak in Wuhan and the possible mutation of the virus in the human body, the outside world is highly vigilant about the occurrence of human infection with H10N3 avian influenza in Jiangsu.
