H5N1 News: Five More Case of Human Avian Flu in Turkey
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
Turkey reported five new human cases of the H5N1 strain of bird flu in preliminary tests Monday, a Health Ministry official said.
The tests were conducted in Turkish labs on samples provided by five people suspected of having the disease, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the media.
The new cases raise the number of human bird flu cases in Turkey to 15. They have not yet been confirmed by the World Health Organization.
