Dr. Hien said that the test results from the CDC were the same as the results he had found when carrying out the tests here in Vietnam.
His institute will work together with the CDC to decode the H5N1 virus gene and keep track of its transformation.
Deputy health minister Trinh Quan Huan further said that doctors must keep a close eye on H5N1 patients this year, they must be wary of human-to-human transmission.
This year, since early May, bird flu has hit 18 cities and provinces nationwide. There have been five human bird flu cases, in which two patients died and three fully recovered.
