Abstract

Southern China experienced few cases of H7N9 during the first wave of human infections in the spring of 2013. The second and now the third waves of H7N9 infections have been localized mostly in Southern China with the Guangdong province an epicenter for the generation of novel H7N9 reassortants. Clusters of human infections show human-to-human transmission to be a rare but well-documented event. A recent cluster of infections involving hospital health care workers stresses the importance of care givers utilizing personal protective equipment in treating H7N9 infected or suspected patients.

摘要

在2013年春季人类感染H7N9的第一波疫情期间，中国南方地区的感染病例较少。H7N9感染的第二波以及现在的第三波疫情主要集中在中国南方，广东省是新型H7N9重组病毒产生的中心。人类感染集群显示人传人是一种罕见但有充分记录的事件。最近一组涉及医院医护人员的感染病例强调了护理人员在治疗H7N9感染或疑似患者时使用个人防护设备的重要性。
