SOLO - A suspected bird flu patient, Suranto (29), from Sukoharjo district, died in the Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Solo early Thursday morning. He had been treated there for several days. Hospital representative Titik Lestari said that Suranto, a bird flu suspect at the moment, died around three in the morning. "To make sure that Suranto is bird flu positive, his blood sample has been sent to the laboratory in Jakarta but he died before we obtained the result of laboratory test," Titik said.
Suranto was admitted to the hospital on 30 March. But last Tuesday he was transferred to the isolation room for bird flu when his condition got worse and he got problems breathing. Of the 11 suspected bird flu patients in the hospital in Solo, four were tested positive and the seven others were not. There are 93 confirmed cases in Indonesia, with currently 72 people who have died.
Meanwhile, extra tests on a person who was taken to hospital at 28 March, show that the Jakarta resident has bird flu. He is in critical condition and is now in the Sulianti Saroso hospital.
