We reported a case of human infection with the H3N8 avian influenza virus, who had multiple myeloma and died of severe infection. Genome analysis showed multiple gene mutations and reassortments without mammalian-adaptive mutations. This report suggested that avian influenza (A/H3N8) virus infection could be lethal for person who were immunocompromised.
