India and Malaysia Rule out Bird Flu in 12 People

INDIA: February 23, 2006

MUMBAI - India and Malaysia said on Wednesday 12 people treated for 

suspected bird flu had been cleared of having the virus, easing fears it 

had spread to humans in more Asian countries.

But the World Health Organisation (WHO) said it would carry out tests for 

bird flu on four Nigerians, including a woman who died last week.

India, battling its first outbreak of the disease in birds, said at least seven 

people quarantined in the west of the country had tested negative for the 

deadly H5N1 strain. Samples from another five people were being tested 

further.

Malaysia said tests on five people admitted to hospital with breathing 

problems had proved negative and that it was waiting for results of tests 

on two children. The country has been hit by its first bird flu infection in 

poultry in more than a year.

* Seems they have some kind of ultra rapid test, mmm.
