A Turkish man hospitalised with suspected bird flu has tested negative for the potentially lethal virus which has affected poultry in the mainly Kurdish southeast of the country, the health ministry said.
The 27-year-old man was admitted to hospital in the central province of Konya late Thursday after coming into contact with wild ducks and falling sick.
"Samples taken from the patient came out negative. There was no trace of the bird flu virus," the ministry said in a statement carried by the Anatolia news agency.
So far, there have been no reports of suspicious poultry deaths in Konya that could point to an outbreak of bird flu.
Authorities are also testing samples taken from a 67-year-old woman hospitalised Wednesday in Diyarbakir, one of the two southeastern provinces where the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus resurfaced last week in poultry.
The agriculture ministry said in a statement late Thursday that bird flu had been detected in poultry in four new locations: the hamlet of Bolukcayir as well as the villages of Kocalar and Akbaba in Diyarbakir province, and in a neighbourhood in the city of Batman in the province bearing the same name.
It said further analyses were underway to determine the strain present.
Authorities said last week that the potentially lethal strain of H5N1 was responsible for the outbreaks in the village of Bogazkoy and the hamlet of Esentepe in Batman province as well as the village of Akcayir in Diyarbakir.
A quarantine zone has been imposed around all the villages and authorities have begun slaughtering poultry and carrying out health checks among residents.
A major bird flu outbreak in Turkey killed four teenagers in January last year in a remote region near the border with Iran, from where the virus quickly spread to more than a half of the country's 81 provinces.
