1997年，一种高致病性H5N1禽流感病毒在中国香港造成人和家禽严重疾病。记录了18例人间病例，其中6例死亡。1997年12月，通过全面清除所有家禽市场和养鸡场的人口，消灭了这种独特的病毒。2001年和2002年在家禽中发生了H5N1病毒引起的其他高致病性禽流感（HPAI）暴发。这些分离的H5N1病毒与1997年分离的病毒具有不同的内部基因群。尚未报告因这些或其他H5N1病毒引起的人间感染或疾病新病例。本文件概述1997年3月至2002年3月期间在香港发生的与禽流感有关的事件及时间顺序。
In 1997, a high-pathogenicity H5N1 avian influenza virus caused serious disease in both man and poultry in Hong Kong, China. Eighteen human cases of disease were recorded, six of which were fatal. This unique virus was eliminated through total depopulation of all poultry markets and chicken farms in December 1997. Other outbreaks of high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) caused by H5N1 viruses occurred in poultry in 2001 and 2002. These H5N1 viruses isolated had different internal gene constellations to those isolated in 1997. No new cases of infection or disease in man due to these or other H5N1 viruses have been reported. This paper provides an overview and chronology of the events in Hong Kong relating to avian influenza, covering the period from March 1997 to March 2002.
