He worked in mid-May to the live poultry market in Guangzhou near their homes.

Yesterday, the Southern reporter called Anhui Province CDC. Anhui Center for Disease Control Communicable Disease Control Branch official said, Because the boy is healthy, in Anhui Province and the absence of disease, so they do not have this epidemiological survey.
Guangzhou community human to human transmission risk is extremely low Yesterday, the chief expert of the Guangdong CDC, infectious disease prevention and control of the director Jianfeng said, boy fever has passed two weeks, in close contact with young boys as of yesterday 26 people who have not developed symptoms of fever symptoms Experts believe that the community of bird flu transmission risk is very low in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou.

General avian influenza infection in humans, the incubation period ranging from one day to seventy-eight days, mostly in the infection of two to four days onset. As the boys a fever on May 23, is now 11 days, nearly two weeks, 26 people are fever and other flu-like symptoms, therefore, provinces, municipalities, disease control experts after research, basic very low risk of transmission of bird flu transmission in human cases of avian influenza that is, urban people in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou.
"Guangdong has been in the life bird flu monitoring this year, the current six months, also found no positive samples of human avian influenza, so the boy was infected with the avian influenza cases should be the case." Jianfeng said.

Where the disease is still in doubt Past cases of human avian influenza in late autumn, winter and early spring temperatures lower, so why the boy will be the incidence in the summer heat? Guangzhou CDC Renwang Ming said, the all the incidence of human avian influenza situation in China's performance for the dissemination of its seasonal high incidence of properties is not obvious, is not surprising that similar cases in the summer heat season. "Before the child to be in Guangzhou, have been to Anhui, what and where disease is still in doubt."
