JAKARTA: A 35-year-old man who died last month has been confirmed by World Health Organisation tests as Indonesia's ninth bird flu victim, Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari said yesterday. |
Indonesia has now confirmed 14 infections in total, with more than a dozen further suspected deaths caused by the H5N1 virus, which an overstretched health system is struggling to monitor. |
Siti said the latest casualty was a man who died at the private Pantai Indah Kapuk hospital in North Jakarta on Nov 19. AFP |
