Updated: 2006-09-28 11:37 JAKARTA - An Indonesian man
who had been suffering from bird flu for days died early on Thursday, a hospital
official said, taking Indonesia's death toll from the disease to 52.
"He died because of breathing problems which he had suffered since he was
admitted to the hospital," said Hadi Yusuf, who heads the bird flu ward at Hasan
Sadikin hospital in Bandung, West Java's provincial capital.
The government had acknowledged the 20-year-old victim as a bird flu case
earlier this week.
