I am sorry to hear that China mainland confirms first case of A/H1N1 influenza. The Chinese mainland male surnamed Bao, he returned from the United States in May 8, and had tested positive for the A/H1N1 influenza. Now Bao was at the Chengdu Infectious Disease Hospital in Sichuan’s provincial. Those who had close contact with him were isolated for observation.Bao arrived in Beijing on board the Northwest Airlines flight NW029 on May 9, after making a transfer in Tokyo from St. Louis, in the United States. He then flew from Beijing to Chengdu on Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8882 the same day.

Bao was found to have a fever on the flight from Beijing to Chengdu accompanied by sore throats, coughing, a stuffy nose and sneezing.

He went to the Sichuan People’s Hospital after getting off the plane, and was tested “weakly positive” to A/H1N1 virus twice by the Sichuan Center for Disease Control and Prevention. He was then transferred to the Chengdu Infectious Disease Hospital.

Update: most of the passengers on board the same flight from Beijing to Chengdu with Bao had already been tracked down and isolated at local health institutions in 21 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

Bao is the second confirmed case of A/H1N1 influenza in China, after the World Health Organization expressed concern at an outbreak of the flu in the United States and Mexico late last month.

A 25-year-old male Mexican was confirmed on May 1 in Hong Kong to be infected with influenza A/H1N1, and those who were in close contact with him have been put under quarantine in 19 mainland provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions as well as Hong Kong and Macao.

So far, the A/H1N1 flu has already caused 53 deaths worldwide, and infected more than 4,500 people in 29 countries, including at least 1,626 in Mexico, at least 2,532 in the United States and 280 in Canada.
