5 in birdflu scare

Five people admitted to Sam Ngam Hospital in Phichit with bird flulike symptoms have all had mysterious deaths of poultry near their homes.



Provincial health chief Prajak Wattanakul and a diseasecon¬trol team went to the hospital yesterday afternoon to visit the five, who were kept in isolation.

   They were Krisada Thiangyu, six, Nadda Thiangyu, 10, and Taptim Phromsri, 62, from Tambon Noen Por; Wanna Tolamlam, 70, from Tambon Nong Son, and an unnamed fiveyearold boy.

   The five reportedly touched dead fowl with their bare hands and a few days later developed fevers, coughing, exhaustion and breathing problems. Lab tests on blood samples should yield results in one or two days.

   Officials were dispatched to watch out for the disease.
