The Indonesian press is reporting yet another suspected H5N1 infection, this time in the Serang regency (Banten province is divided into 4 regencies; Lebak, Pandeglang, Serang, and Tangerang).
This translation is from Ida at the Bird Flu Information Corner. You can find other reports and translations by newshounds at FluTrackers in this thread, and in Flu WIki’s Indonesian thread.
As of now, this is simply a suspect case, as there are a number of other illnesses that can mimic H5N1 symptoms. Lab tests are awaited. Hopefully, those results will be made public.
