A 53-year old Taiwanese male developed flulike symptoms three days after returning from China's Jiangxi Province, where the virus first emerged, according to Taiwan's Center for Disease Control. China has reported at least 111 human infections—23 of them fatal—from the disease, according to Chinese authorities and the World Health Organization. WHO has a global advisory on the avian flu, urging against contact with live poultry, although it stopped short of recommending travel restrictions to China.
China's state news agency Xinhua reported Friday that the eastern province of Jiangxi had reported its first case, leaving a 69-year old man in critical condition at a local hospital.
