Indonesian farm worker tests positive for bird flu
Health authorities yesterday reported Indonesia's first human case of bird flu, saying a farm worker had tested positive for the disease that has killed 54 people in Southeast Asia.
Tests in Hong Kong found the worker, from South Sulawesi province, had been infected with the potentially deadly H5N1 strain of the virus although he is healthy and showed no symptoms, said health ministry official Wilfried Purba.

The government took blood samples from farm workers after thousands of birds died of bird flu in South Sulawesi and Java island earlier this year.
