Fourth bird flu death in Turkey
A 15-year-old Turkish girl who died on
Sunday has tested positive for the
deadly H5N1 strain of the bird flu
virus, health officials say.
Fatma Ozcan died in hospital in the
eastern city of Van on Sunday.
The latest test brings the number of
confirmed cases in Turkey to 20, all of
them after contact with infected birds.
Four of them have died. Altogether more
than 70 people, most in East Asia, have
now died since the outbreak began in
2003.
