A NSW health spokeswoman said the person, who arrived on a
flight from Vietnam this morning, had been taken to a Sydney
hospital for tests.
"This person has a recent history of being in an area with
chickens in Vietnam and of having a previous influenza-like
illness," the spokeswoman said.
While health experts believe it is very unlikely the diagnosis
will be avian influenza, the man has still been quarantined for
testing.
He is believed to have been unconscious for most of the flight.
Under Australian Quarantine laws all airlines are required to
report ill passengers to the Australian Quarantine and Inspection
Service prior to landing.
