Health Planning Commission: the world's first case of human infection with the deaths of H5N6 | | deaths _ people infected H5N6| avian influenza virus news

The Beijing News (reporter Wei Mingyan) today, the National Health Commission response to "infection cases H5N6 by the first nation in the world occurred in Sichuan province." Planning Commission spokesman Wei Song Shuli said that the national disease prevention and control network in monitoring of pneumonia of unknown origin, one died of severe pneumonia cases monitoring H5N6 in specimens positive for avian influenza virus nucleic acid, is H5N6 by China CDC for further confirmation of avian influenza virus, expert judgment case is the case currently, because close contacts of cases none tested positive out of the crowd did not show symptoms. At present, the expert's analysis of virus infection and risk of transmission is still relatively low.

Ni Daxin, a researcher at China CDC public health emergency response center provided additional information, in accordance with the relevant literature, and Sichuan H5N6 cases are isolated from the human body for the first time in the world to the H5N6 virus. This virus before in Germany, and Sweden and the United States and Taiwan have reported from waterfowl duck and duck into this H5N6 virus. But we see we know thus far, they reported the isolation of the virus was low pathogenic to poultry, but this time the virus gene sequence analysis, turns out it is highly pathogenic to birds, has differences with H5N6 before the avian flu virus.

卫计委：全球首例人感染H5N6系死亡个案|人感染H5N6|禽流感病毒|死亡个案_新闻资讯

　　新京报讯 (记者 魏铭言) 今日，国家卫生计生委回应“四川出现全球第一宗人感染H5N6个案”。卫计委新闻发言人宋树立说，国家疾控网络在不明原因肺炎的监测中，在一个因重症肺炎去世的病例标本中监测出H5N6禽流感病毒核酸阳性，经过中国疾控中心进一步确认为H5N6禽流感病毒，目前专家判定病例是个案，因为病例密切接触人群当中没有检测出阳性也没有出现相应症状。目前，专家分析病毒导致人感染和传播的风险仍比较低。

　　中国疾控中心卫生应急中心研究员倪大新补充介绍，根据相关文献的梳理，四川H5N6病例的确是全球首次从人身体中分离到H5N6病毒。这种病毒以前在德国、瑞典、美国以及台湾曾经报道从水禽鸭和野鸭当中分离到过这种H5N6病毒。但是就我们目前掌握的情况看，他们原来报道的分离的病毒基本上对禽是属于低致病性的，但是这次根据病毒基因的序列分析，最后证明它对禽是高致病性的，与之前的H5N6禽流感病毒有差别。
