Cambodia Bird Flu Not Contained

Cambodia reports more deaths from Avian Flu

Source: playfuls.com, 2007-04-08

Candidate: Bird Flu

Two siblings of Cambodia's seventh human bird-flu fatality victim who had initially reported symptoms were improving, but the sudden deaths of chickens in a neighbouring province raised new concerns, local media reported Sunday.

Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper quoted local health officials as saying two children aged 8 and 11, believed to be siblings of a 13-year-old girl who died of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, had earlier been feared to contracted the disease but now appeared to be improving.

The dead school girl, named by local hospital staff as Cheat Nha Phany, had tended her family's small flock of chickens in the Ponhea Kret district of eastern Kampong Cham province, according to local residents.

Rasmei quoted local officials as saying that several were under observation in the area surrounding Phany's home, and that 68 ducks and nearly 300 chickens had died in the vicinity before and after the girl fell ill last Monday.

Health Ministry official Ly Sovann told Radio Free Asia that authorities were investigating reports of mass deaths of chickens in neighbouring Kratie Province.

Phany was the first confirmed human death from the disease since April 2006.
