Indonesia - Kalimantan - Three suspect Bird Flu patients test negative, two still awaiting results

In Memoriam - Editor, Senior Moderator
It is not unusual in Indonesia to treat bird flu suspect patients at home and monitor them via the local Health Center. If the patient gets worse, he/she can be referred to a hospital.

Apparently a baby is monitored in hospital for bird flu.
