Two suspected bird flu patients hospitalized in Jakarta
JAKARTA, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Two suspected bird flu patients were admitted to a specialized hospital in Jakarta Wednesday morning, a hospital spokesman said.
Sulianti Saroso Hospital spokesman Dr Sardikin said the two patients were residents of Jakarta identified by their initials as W, 20, and T, 12 months.
"Preliminary observation has to be made to determine whether or not W and T were really infected with the bird flu virus," he was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying.
Sardikin said two other patients, who were admitted to the same hospital earlier, had been permitted to leave the hospital after being tested negative for bird flu.
To date, a total of 133 suspected bird flu patients have been treated at the Sulianti Saroso Hospital. About 24 of them died while 11 others tested positive for the deadly disease.
