Bird flu victims confirmed in Turkey - Europe in Danger
AT least two people, one of them already dead, have tested positive for the bird flu virus in eastern Turkey, Health Minister Recep Akdag told a news conference Wednesday. "Two patients have tested positive, and there is another suspected case case," he said. This is the first time that bird flu has been found in humans in Turkey. The patients are being treated at a hospital in the eastern city of Van and come from Dogubeyazit, near the border with Iran. One of the victims, a 14-year-old boy, "died of bird flu" at the Van hospital Sunday, Akdag said.
