[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]JAKARTA (AP): A 7-year-old girl who died in Indonesia earlier this month was suffering from bird flu, international tests have confirmed, bringing the country's death toll from the virus to at least 38.
The girl's brother also died showing symptoms of the virus, but was buried before tests were taken, the health ministry said earlier this month. Nyoman Kandun, a senior health ministry official, said tests from Hong Kong had confirmed the girl was positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus.
