The patient, named as Suh, was reported to have had direct contact with her chickens that had suddenly died. She burned the dead chickens and buried them near her house a few days ago.
Her husband Udin said thousands of chickens near his home had abruptly died in the past two weeks. "The dead chickens included 15 of mine. All the chickens in our neighborhood have died," Udin said Tuesday.
Laboratory tests on the dead chickens in Way Laga subdistrict showed that the birds were infected with the avian flu virus.
Yanuar, a doctor treating Suh, said the medical team had to wait for lab tests to determine whether she was had bird flu.
"Even if the results turn out to be negative, residents in Way Laga must be careful because the area is known to be a bird flu area," Yanuar said.
