China says 41-year-old man dies from bird flu

BEIJING -- A man from China’s southern Guangxi autonomous region has died of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the third death from the disease since late last year, the Health Ministry said on Thursday. The man fell ill on Feb.12, was admitted to hospital two days later and died on Feb. 20, the ministry said on its Web site (www.moh.gov.cn).

He had been in contact with sick domestic poultry, and a specimen sent to a central government laboratory confirmed he was infected with the H5N1 virus. Checks have been carried out on everyone who had been in contact with the victim, and so far no abnormalities had been detected, the statement added.
