Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thu 5 January 2006 11:05 Turkey Confirms Human Bird Flu Politics At least two people to the east of Turkey have died of bird flu, the country's health minister announced. This is the first case of human bird flu diagnosed outside Southeast Asia, where at least 70 have died. The country's health minister said a 14-year-old boy who died last weekend was found to have the deadly disease, despite earlier results indicating otherwise. The boy's sister, who had also tested positive, died early on Thursday. A third sibling has symptoms of bird flu. The boy, named as Mehmet Ali Kocyigit, died on Sunday in the city of Van in eastern Turkey. __________________________________________ DSL – Something to write home about.
