China says no human flu cases, U.N. wants details – Lindsay Beck

From Reuters:

China and Thailand said on Friday suspected human cases of bird flu were false alarms but the U.N.’s health agency said it had no details on the Chinese case and wanted more information.

Since last week China has revealed three outbreaks of the H5N1 virus that killed 3,800 chickens, ducks and geese.

A 12-year-old girl died on Oct. 17 near the site of the latest reported outbreak in the southern province of Hunan but a Health Ministry official said this was due to pneumonia.
