Woman hospitalized with suspected bird flu died in Baku

06.02.2007, 14.52

BAKU, February 6 (Itar-Tass) - Zamina Zeinalova, 37, who was hospitalized in the Pulmonology Research Institute with suspected bird flu, died in Azerbaijan?s capital on Tuesday, a source in the Azerbaijani Health Ministry told Itar-Tass.

According to doctors, Zeinalova, who lived in Boyat, the Neftechala region (about 200 kilometers south of Baku), died of an acute pneumonia. ?However, her blood samples were passed to specialized laboratories of the state veterinary service of the Azerbaijani Agriculture Ministry in order to rule out bird flu suspicions,? the source emphasized.

?If necessary Zeinalova?s blood samples will be also sent to London for a specialized laboratory of the World Health Organisation,? the source pointed out.

The Neftechala region of Azerbaijan is situated on the bank of the Kura River, where migratory birds spend winter. Meanwhile, according to the veterinary service, ?No massive mortality among wild and domestic birds was registered in Boyat and in this region on the whole,? the source said.

Teenager Azhdar Askerov, 14, earlier died of pneumonia at the Pulmonology Research Institute in Baku. The bird flu virus was initially suspected in him, but tests taken in Baku and London did not confirm these suspicions.
