BAGHDAD, March 27 (Reuters) - Iraqi medical authorities ordered tests for the H5N1 bird flu virus on samples from a man who died in Baghdad, a Health Ministry source said on Monday.
No further details were available.
A number of suspected cases of the virus in Iraq have turned out to be false alarms. At least two fatal cases of human bird flu -- in a teenage girl and her uncle in January -- were confirmed in the northern province of Sulaimaniya.
