Nick's random and sometimes not so random thoughts on Pandemic Influenza

Sunday, August 06, 2006

Test on a Vietnam man suspected of having H5N1 have come back negative. He has been in a coma for over seven days now with symptoms similar to those of a H5N1 infection. The doctors are not sure what is causing his illness and are running more tests.

The Thailand Public Health Ministry (PHM) has confirmed that a 27-year-old man that died on Thursday was infected with H5N1. He was from the Uthai province and had exposure to poultry that were possibly infected with H5N1. The day after the PHM confirmed the results of his tests, the Livestock Development Department’s disease control bureau announced that the chickens from the 27-year-old mans house tested negative for H5N1. They are repeating their testing and have urged the PHM to do the same.
