In an earlier blog today (see Watching Vietnam) I presented a translation of a Vietnamese news story indicating a second positive H5N1 case in Bac Kan Province, along with a number of hospitalized `suspect’ cases.
Treyfish, posting on FluTrackers, has uncovered another Vietnamese media report that seems to indicate a third possible lab confirmed case.
None of this has been officially announced (to my knowledge) by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health, so I’m understandably cautious about embracing these reports.
Accept them for what they are; translated media reports of unknown veracity and significance.
If this turns out to be a genuine geographic cluster, no doubt we’ll hear more about it over the coming days.
As I’ll be away most of the afternoon, I will refer my readers to the FluTrackers thread on these reports.
What follows is a machine translation.
