The Nation

BEIJING: -- China's capital reported Saturday its first case of H7N9 avian influenza, which had already infected 43 people in the eastern part of the country, including 11 deaths.

Specialists at Beijing’s Ditan Hospital were treating a 7-year-old girl infected with the virus, the city health bureau reported on its website, www.bjhb.gov.cn.

China is the first country to report human infections with the H7N9 virus.

The other 43 confirmed infections were in Shanghai and the nearby eastern provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Chinese health authorities and the World Health Organization have played down fears of an epidemic, saying there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
