JAKARTA (Reuters) - Two more Indonesians have been confirmed as infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus, a health official said on Monday, citing results from a World Health Organization-recognized laboratory in Hong Kong.
Samples from an 18-year-old male, from Bandung in western Java island, tested negative earlier in Hong Kong but the latest result would classify him as a H5N1 case, said I Nyoman Kandun, director-general of communicable disease control.
A 15-year-old girl from Solok in western Sumatra, who is fighting for her life, also tested positive, he said.
