JAKARTA (AP)--A 14-year-old Indonesian boy died of bird flu, the Health Ministry said Friday, the latest in a flurry of cases in the sprawling nation that are concerning international experts. 

The boy, who died on Wednesday in a hospital in the capital, Jakarta, had come into contact with dead chickens, said Health Ministry official Nyoman Kandun. 

He said local tests had confirmed the youth was infected with the H5N1 strain of the virus, but specimens had also been sent to an international laboratory for confirmation, as is standard practice in dealing with bird flu cases. 

If confirmed, Indonesia's human death toll from bird flu would hit at least 39.
