Jakarta Indonesia - Bird Flu Case

A suspected bird flu case has taken the life of another human. This past weekend a 39 year old male passed away at the Sulianti Saroso hospital. He will be tested for the flu. Authorities believe he may have fallen victim because he was known to have significant exposure to fowl.

Scientists are concerned that contact between humans and infected birds may mutate into a form which will enable the virus to be passed among humans.
