South China's Guangdong province on Monday reported the second H7N9 bird flu case since Sunday.
The female patient, Zhang, 65, resident of the city of Yangjiang, is in serious condition, the provincial health authority said in a statement.
Guangdong on Sunday confirmed a H7N9 case in a man, aged 39, who is also in serious condition. The province had warned the public of the risks of transmission after the virus was found in live poultry markets.
Lin Shaochun, vice governor of Guangdong, warned at a meeting on Sunday that the province has entered a season when human infections of H7N9 are highly likely to occur.
The Chinese mainland has reported 142 human infections of the deadly bird flu virus since it first emerged in March.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong also confirmed its first two H7N9 cases, including an Indonesian national and a mainland resident.
An outbreak of H1N1 'swine flu' is suspected of killing four people outside Houston, Texas, and leaving four more clinging to life.
Public health officials say the deaths could have been prevented: Current flu vaccines protect against the H1N1 strain of the virus.
The Montgomery County, Texas, Health Department has confirmed that one of the eight people sickened with 'flue-like symptoms' has the H1N1 strain. That patient is still alive.
It's the same strain of the influenza virus that caused the 2009 pandemic that killed at least 3,400 people across the country. At least 115,000 contracted the virus and 27,000 were hospitalized.
None of the four patients who died had received a flu shot, KHOU-TV reports.
Initial tests showed that two other the other surviving patients did not have H1N1 - though all samples are being sent to the Centers for Disease Control for further analysis.
