5 Indonesians suspected of bird flu infection

JAKARTA -- Five members of a family in Indonesia’s densely-populated West Java province are suspected to be infected with the deadly bird flu virus, the state run news agency Antara said Friday. Fathurahman told Antara that his three children, aged eight, 10 and 16, were suffering from high fevers, coughing and had difficulty breathing following an outbreak of the virus among local poultry.

“Dozens of our chickens and ducks died suddenly. The veterinary office tested (the dead poultry) positive for bird flu,” Fathurahman told Antara.
