China, Indonesia Report Bird Flu Deaths
BEIJING -- Health authorities in China and Indonesia on Friday each reported a woman killed by a deadly strain of bird flu. Azerbaijan became the latest country to report an outbreak among fowl, and Nigeria said the virus had spread there, too.
If the death in Indonesia is confirmed by the World Health Organization, it would be the country's 17th. The Chinese death would be the eighth there, if confirmed. China on Wednesday reported a woman died of the H5N1 strain in an area with no reported outbreaks in poultry.
