Re: Indonesia, Yogyakarta - Poultry Deaths - (Virulent) Bird Flu Suspected/Confirmed

The reference to dead children is probably to this case:

Indonesia, West Java - 4-year-old boy died of bird flu H5N1 - December 14


The fact that they do not know which H5N1 clade he died from indicates that the government does not have 2.3.2.1 test probes. If this is the case then a negative test result obtained using a clade 2.1 test probe may still be positive for clade 2.3.2.1.
