BEIJING, Aug. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- A 16-year-old Indonesian has tested positive for bird flu, health official said Monday, citing local test results. If confirmed by a World Health Organization-affiliated laboratory, the teenager would be Indonesia's 55th bird flu case.
The youth, from Bekasi on the outskirts of Jakarta, is being treated at the designated bird flu centre at the city's Sulianti Saroso Hospital, said Runizar Ruesin, head of the bird flu information centre at Indonesia's health ministry.
He said the patient had been treated at a local hospital in Cikarang for two days before being transferred to the Sulianto Saroso hospital.
Ruesin said the patient had been in contact with sick chickens.
"The symptoms are a high, white blood cell count, high body temperature and breathlessness. He's now using a ventilator to help him breathe," said Ruesin.
Blood samples would be sent to a World health Organization-recognized laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States for secondary testing.
Indonesia has recorded 42 human deaths from the H5N1 strain of the virus since July 2005 and is equalling Vietnam as the world's hardest-hit country. Enditem
