DJ Reunion Authorities: Man Back From Asia May Have Bird Flu
PARIS (AP)--Preliminary tests conducted on a 43-year-old man who returned to the French island of Reunion after a trip to Thailand indicated he may have the H5N1 bird flu virus, authorities said Wednesday. Two initial tests for the deadly H5N1 strain were conducted Monday. "The first was doubtful, the second positive," Reunion authorities said in a statement, adding there was thus a "suspicion of flu of avian origin."
