Northern Vietnam province reports new bird flu case
Vietnam's northern Ha Tay province reported a local woman tested positive for the deadly bird flu virus that has killed over 41 people in the country since late 2003, said local Lao Dong newspaper Tuesday.

Specimens from Nguyen Thi Them, a 49-year-old woman from Quoc Oai district, tested positive for the bird flu virus strain H5N1, a source told the newspaper.

Although she no longer has an elevated temperature, she continues to require respiratory assistance at the Institute of Tropical Diseases in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi.

Earlier, she received treatment at a provincial hospital for 3 days starting on July 27.

The woman had bought a chicken at a local market and cooked it. Local healthcare agencies have kept close surveillance on areas where she lives and on those who have had close contact with her.

Late last week, local media reported two people, a 26-year-old woman from southern Ho Chi Minh City and a 24-year-old man from southern Tra Vinh province, died of bird flu. They manifested symptoms of the disease after eating chicken.

The H5N1 virus has also killed 12 Thais, four Cambodians and three Indonesians since it first swept across much of Asia in late 2003.

To deal with possible outbreaks among poultry, Vietnam is vaccinating chickens and ducks against bird flu viruses including H5N1 in northern Nam Dinh province and southern Tien Giang province.

Vietnam plans to vaccinate over 2.9 million fowl this month.
