They all showed initial symptoms of fever and coughs which developed into severe pneumonia and difficult breathing in later stages, according to the report.
On Saturday, the three cases were confirmed to be human infection with H7N9 avianinfluenza by an expert team summoned by the health and family planning commission,based on clinical observation, laboratory tests and epidemiological surveys.
