A 32-year-old Vietnamese man infected with H5N1 bird flu has died in a hospital in the capital, a state-run newspaper reported on Friday.
The man contracted the virus in Ninh Binh province, some 90 kilometres (60 miles) south of Hanoi, after eating ill poultry, the newspaper People's Army said. He came down with a fever on February 11 and died on February 25, it said.
A 23-year-old woman died last weekend of bird flu in Quang Ninh province, to the east of Hanoi. Vietnam has reported bird flu outbreaks among poultry stocks in 11 provinces, including Ninh Binh and Quang Ninh.
