Moscow : A 32 year-old woman has died from the H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus in Jakarta, bringing Indonesia’s death toll from the virus to 102, China’s Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.
The woman, who was hospitalized with bird flu symptoms two weeks ago, died late on Thursday of multiple organ failure. Enquiries revealed that she had visited a poultry market prior to falling ill.
The death is the fourth in the past week in the southeast Asian country after a 32 year-old man, a 23 year-old woman and a nine-year-old boy died of H5N1 infection.
Indonesia has the world’s highest human death toll from bird flu. The disease broke out in the archipelago in 2003.
