Bird flu claims 3-year-old girl
Fri 7 Jul 2006

A THREE-year-old Indonesian girl has died from bird flu, a senior health ministry official said.

If confirmed, it will take the country's death toll from the virus to 41, trailing only Vietnam, where 42 people have died.

Health ministry official Nyoman Kandun said the latest victim, identified only as AA, died in Cisauk village south-west of Jakarta.

"Local tests showed she was positively infected with the H5N1 strain of the virus," he said.
