JAKARTA: The World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday confirmed the 35th bird flu fatality in Indonesia, a 29-year-old man who died 10 days ago in Jakarta. WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said tests carried out at a WHO-affiliated laboratory had confirmed local results showing the man had died of the virus. |
WHO tests also confirmed that two more Indonesians – an 18-year-old man from Surabaya and a 43-year-old Jakarta man – had contracted bird flu and were recovering in hospital. More than 120 people have died of bird flu around the world since late 2003, the vast majority of them in Asia. --- AFP. |
