A man died of bird-flu-like symptoms

 

A man Sunday succumbed to bird-flu-like symptoms, the provincial public-health chief Dr Prajak Wattanakul said.

 

Prajak said the patient had high fever, cough, exhaust, and pneumonia.

 

"Test results will come out in one or two days. By then, we will be able to say whether he died of bird flu," Prajak added.

 

According to the doctor, the patient lived next door to his elder brother's cockfighting yard. Recently, some of the fowls died without clear reasons.
