WHO warns that with new H5N1 bird flu cases reported in poultry in Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, the risk of bird flu and the H1N1 pandemic swine flu virus mixing was heightened

Hanoi: Vietnam's Ministry of Health says a man has died from bird flu, as the World Health Organization warns about the dangers of bird flu and swine flu combining.

The ministry said on its Web site Tuesday that the 23-year-old man died last week, and test results confirmed he was infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus. He had eaten duck blood pudding before falling sick.

Last week, the WHO warned that with new H5N1 bird flu cases reported in poultry in Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, the risk of bird flu and the H1N1 pandemic swine flu virus mixing was heightened.

even though swine virus have been founded mostly in developing countris but still WHO does not raise a strong related policy that it mentions political policies together wherease H1N1 vaccine is avalilabe accross the countries in equal approach. Second question is, why does WHO warned in stronger interest of those developing countries? We should ask, how is big possibility to face advance mutation genetic of H1N1 virus in those regarding countries..thus it means will attack whole world.

    @foresmac Diagnosis: flu complicated by asthma. Didn't do H1N1 test, too late to take Tamiflu. Got scrip for some decent cough medicine, though.

    @foresmac @ComcastGeorge If you can make my Internet connection come back online, that would be great. A shot of H1N1 anti-viral would be nice, too.
