Crof over at Crofsblog (link Vietnam: 2012’s second H5N1 death confirmed) has picked up an English language report from TuoiTreNews.vn of a recent H5N1 fatality in Soc Trang Province.
Reportedly this involves a 26-year-old female who fell ill after slaughtering and eating `infected meat’.
Assuming a confirmation from the World Health Organization, this would make the second human case reported in Mekong Delta region of Vietnam this year (the first occurring in Kiên Giang Province).
