Re: Indonesia - Ministry of Health - Bird Flu Reports 2010

Any clue whether this first case had contact with poultry? The detection of an H5N1 case through routine flu surveillance is a bit troubling (although the fact that it occurred over two months ago is a little reassuring), in much the sense the detection of H1N1 in Southern California through routine surveillance was.
