World / Amid Coronavirus China reports first human case of H10N3 bird flu

Beijing: Coronavirus crisis is not yet averted that another bad news is coming out of China. Bird flu has been found in humans for the first time in China. The National Health Commission (NHC) has confirmed the H10N3 strain of bird flu in a 41-year-old man. This person belongs to Jiangsu Province (Jiangsu Province) of China. The NHC said that this person was admitted to the hospital on April 28 after fever and other symptoms. A month later, that is, on 28 May, the H10N3 strain was found in it.

passed from chickens to humans

The National Health Commission (NHC) has refused to give more information about the victim, but has told so much that the infection was transmitted from chickens to humans. However, the NHC says that the H10N3 strain is not very powerful and the risk of spreading it on a large scale is also low. The condition of the victim is stable now and will be discharged from the hospital soon.

Many strains exist in China

According to the NHC, no one has been found infected in the medical examination of the people who came in contact with the person. Let us tell you that there are many strains of avian influenza i.e. bird flu in China and some of them have also infected humans. This especially affects those people who work in poultry. However, until now the H10N3 strain had not been found in any human worldwide. This is the first case of this in China.

So increased world tension

China's National Health Commission may have underestimated the possibility of the outbreak of the H10N3 strain, but this news is frightening for the whole world. Because the corona virus also spread all over the world through China and till date the world has not been able to get rid of this epidemic. On the other hand, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the B.1.617.2 variant of the corona virus found for the first time in India will be identified as Delta. Similarly, another variant B.1.617.1 found here will be known as Kappa. Significantly, these forms of corona were first identified in India in October 2020.
