H5N1 News: Woman Dies from Bird Flu in Indonesia

A Reuters newswire article, via CNN, reports that:

A dead Indonesian woman has tested positive for bird flu but there was no evidence two brothers were victims of the avian influenza virus, the health ministry said on Wednesday.

The World Health Organization expressed concern over the case of the two brothers who died this month just days before their 16-year-old sibling was admitted to hospital infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus.

The WHO said it could not rule out human-to-human transmission but was hampered by a lack of evidence.
