An Indonesian man aged 23 years old who was suspected of having infected by avian flu virus died at 22:50 p.m. local time on Jan. 7, an official said here on Monday. Dr. Dien Emawati, M Kes., head of Health Department at the Province of Jakarta, said that the patient was suspected of being infected by the virus as he was sick following the death of one of his pigeon a week before. "On Jan. 3, he was treated in Satya Negara Hospital with sicknesses of high fever, queasy and faint with body temperature of 39.2 Celsius degree. He was suspected of having avian flu virus as his condition worsened with suffocation, and we found a contact factor with his dead pigeon," said Emawati. She said that the authorities of Jakarta province scrutinized fowls around the scene and destroyed chicken runs. "We also gave tamiflu (to prevent the spread of the flu) to the members of the victim's family," said Emawati. She added that the scrutiny will be intensified throughout Jakarta.
