Here, we report on a case of human infection with the H3N8 avian influenza virus. The patient had multiple myeloma and died of severe infection. Genome analysis showed multiple gene mutations and reassortments without mammalian-adaptive mutations. This suggests that avian influenza (A/H3N8) virus infection could be lethal for immunocompromised persons.
这里,我们报告了一例人类感染 H3N8 禽流感病毒的病例。该患者患有多发性骨髓瘤,因严重感染而死亡。基因组分析显示,存在多种基因突变和重配,但没有哺乳动物适应性突变。这表明禽流感(A/H3N8)病毒感染可能对免疫功能低下者具有致命性。
