Comments on Severity of Latest Cases of #H7N9: Merely Days From Onset to ICU

When observing and updating my list tonight, I have noticed a few cases which seem to be very extreme.

For example, below the onset set was 3 days before being admitted, and 6 days before being admitted to the ICU.

A 78 year old woman from Ningbo City,Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 17 January. She was admitted to hospital on 20 January and transferred to another hospital on 23 January. She is currently in a critical condition.

Below are two cases of exposure to a poultry market.  So we know they got their source from there.  We do not know when they were there last.   Either way, the time span from onset to severity is only a short few days.

 A 23 year old woman from Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 20 January. She was admitted to hospital on 22 January and is currently in a serious condition. The patient has a history of exposure to live poultry market.

·          A 82 year old woman from Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 16 January. She was admitted to hospital on 17 January and is currently in a critical condition. The patient has a history of exposure to a live poultry market.

Like the first case above (78F),  this 73 yo case also has no explanation of exposure.  And again, only a few days from onset to admission: 2 days.  And then only 4 days to ICU.  A total of 6 days from onset to ICU. 

   A 73 year old man from Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 18 January. He was admitted to hospital on 21 January and is currently in a critical condition.

A fairly young person (33 years old) with only 2 days from onset to admisson, and currently in ICU.  You can't get to the hospital much sooner than that.

A 33 year old farmer from Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 17 January. He was admitted to hospital on 19 January and is currently in a critical condition. The patient has a history of exposure to poultry.

And lastly, I believe the WHO has made a type in their update listing.  Specifically, the case below should be 76 years old, as the Ministry of Health out of Zhejiang Province has stated.

 A 78 year old woman from Ningbo City,Zhejiang Province, who became ill on 17 January. She was admitted to hospital on 20 January and transferred to another hospital on 23 January. She is currently in a critical condition.

    1, patients Yang Moumou, female, 76 years old, retired, Yuyao people. January 23 confirmed human infection of H7N9 avian influenza. Is now in critical condition, in Hangzhou, a hospital for treatment.

#H7N9 China Hangzhou closes live poultry markets to combat bird flu

[editing is mine]
1/25/14
Hangzhou, the capital of eastern China's Zhejiang province, has suspended the trading of live poultry in order to halt the spread of the H7N9 bird flu virus.
The city banned the trading in its main urban areas on Friday, according to local health and industrial and commercial departments.

Staff from the city's disease prevention and control department will sterilize the closed markets, and live poultry such as chickens, ducks and other birds will be collected, inspected and treated, according to local health authorities.

The city also will closely monitor domestic fowl at poultry farms, as well as the habitats of migratory birds, authorities said.

"Local urban management departments also will increase the supervision of residents who raise poultry," said Wang Boli, an official with Hangzhou's industrial and commercial department.

"In addition, we will expand daily patrols in case peddlers try to sell live poultry illegally," he told China Central Television.
On Friday, the province reported seven new human H7N9 cases, bringing the province's total to 44, the highest in the nation. 

The province has logged new H7N9 cases for 16 consecutive days.
Officials from the disease prevention and control department said contact with live poultry and exposure in live markets are the major ways the virus's spread.
In Zhejiang's next-door neighbor, Shanghai, similar measures are planned during the Spring Festival holidays and beyond. 

The city has reported three new cases of H7N9 bird flu since Monday, including two deaths: that of a 31-year-old doctor and a 77-year-old farmer.
The city has reported a total of eight cases so far this year.

According to the municipal government, live poultry markets will be closed from Jan 31 to April 30. 

China is set to celebrate one of its most important holidays, Spring Festival, starting next week. To usher in the Lunar New Year, Chinese residents traditionally dine on freshly butchered poultry during the holiday season, which usually lasts several weeks.

"Newly butchered chicken and ducks are the irreplaceable dishes at the family feast each year," said a woman surnamed Yang.

"To prohibit the live poultry trade makes me feel uneasy. But it's understandable — after all, health and safety are the main thing."

Medical experts say that so far, H7N9 bird flu cases have been scattered and there is no evidence to believe that the virus can be spread from person to person.
Experts also suggest that people be vigilant about hygiene and avoid contact with live poultry.

CDC: Testing Recommendations for Persons with possible infection with Avian Influenza A (H7N9) virus in the United States

• Page last reviewed: January 24, 2014
• Page last updated: January 24, 2014

• Content source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD)

Patients who meet both the clinical and exposure criteria described below should be tested for avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay using H7-specific primers and probes. Decisions on diagnostic testing for influenza using RT-PCR should be made using available clinical and epidemiologic information, and additional persons in whom clinicians suspect avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection also should be tested. For more information on laboratory testing of persons under investigation for avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection, please see Information for Health Professionals and Laboratorians. Guidance on testing, treatment, and infection control will be updated by CDC as more information becomes available.

Clinical Illness Criteria

1. Patients with new-onset severe acute respiratory illness requiring hospitalization (i.e., illness of suspected infectious etiology that is severe enough to require inpatient medical care in the judgment of the treating clinician).
   AND
2. Patients for whom no alternative infectious etiology is identified.

Exposure Criteria

1. Patients with recent travel (within 10 days of illness onset) to areas where human cases of avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection have recently become infected¹ or where avian influenza A (H7N9) viruses are known to be circulating in animals².
   OR
2. Patients who have had recent close contact (within 10 days of illness onset) with suspected³ or confirmed cases of human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus. Close contact may be regarded as coming within about 6 feet (2 meters) or within the room or care area of a person with a suspected or confirmed case while the person was ill (beginning 1 day prior to illness onset and continuing until resolution of illness). Close contacts include healthcare personnel providing care for a person with a suspected or confirmed case, family members of a person with a suspected or confirmed case, persons who lived with or stayed overnight with a person with a suspected or confirmed case, and others who have had similar close physical contact, especially without the use of respiratory protection.
   OR
3. Persons with an unprotected exposure to avian influenza A (H7N9) virus in a laboratory setting.
   
   ¹As of January 23, 2014, mainland China is the only country where human cases of avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection have recently (within the past 24 months) become infected.
   
   ²As of January 23, 2014, mainland China is the only country where avian influenza A (H7N9) viruses are known to be circulating in animals.
   
   ³Patients suspected of having infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus can include probable cases, cases under investigation for infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus, and other patients for whom available clinical and epidemiologic information support a diagnosis of infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus.

State health departments are encouraged to investigate potential human cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection and should notify CDC within 24 hours of identifying a probable or confirmed case of novel influenza A virus infection, including avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection, and avian influenza A (H7N9) virus.

#H7N9 Hong Kong CHP: DH urges travellers to take precautions against avian influenza during Lunar New Year

Press Release

24 January 2014        With the Lunar New Year around the corner, a spokesman for the Department of Health (DH) today (January 24) urged members of the public who are planning to travel outside Hong Kong during the festive season to take precautions against avian influenza.      The spokesman said, "In view of the three imported human cases of avian influenza A(H7N9) confirmed in Hong Kong and multiple cases reported in various provinces and municipalities on the mainland recently, the activity of avian influenza virus is expected to be higher in the winter season. Maintaining good personal and environmental hygiene at all times is thus of paramount importance to prevent infection."      As severe infection can result in respiratory failure, multi-organ failure and even death, the spokesman appealed to all travellers to remain vigilant and take heed of the following preventive measures: Before your trip: ----------------- * If you have flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, cough, sore throat and shortness of breath), postpone your trip until you have recovered. * Bring along adequate face masks and alcohol hand-rub. During your trip: ----------------- * Do not visit live poultry markets and farms. Do not have direct contact with poultry, birds and their droppings. If contact has been made, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. * Cook poultry and eggs thoroughly before eating. * Avoid crowded places and contact with fever patients. * If you develop flu-like symptoms, put on a face mask and consult a doctor as soon as possible. After your trip: ---------------- * If you develop flu-like symptoms, put on a face mask, consult a doctor promptly and inform your doctor of your travel history. * Do not bring raw meat (including poultry and game) without a health certificate into Hong Kong.      The public are also advised to observe cough etiquette at all times by covering the nose and mouth while sneezing or coughing, holding the spit with a tissue and putting it into a covered dustbin. They should wash hands with liquid soap and water properly, especially when they are dirtied by respiratory secretions, e.g. after sneezing, and clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub when they are not visibly soiled.      The public may visit the CHP's avian influenza page (www.chp.gov.hk/en/view_content/24244.html) and website (www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/global_statistics_avian_influenza_e.pdf) for more information on avian influenza-affected areas.
