    I believe this is the same case as the post below. Given that the brother suffered a mild flu-like illness at the same time, H1N1 seems slightly more likely than H5N1. There have been a few references to "bacterium in the brain" as well, which might be a hospital-acquired infection, but might also be a sign of bacterial meningitis.

    But at this point, we may never know for sure. The above story is already three weeks old.

      A/H1N1 is very easy to diagnose. It seems the patient was in the hospital for about a month without this confirmation.
