Indonesia has two more bird flu deaths-ministry

JAKARTA, May 19 (Reuters) The World Health Organisation has confirmed two more bird flu deaths in Indonesia, a senior health ministry official said today.

One of those confirmed was a boy from a North Sumatran family in which five other members have been confirmed as infected cases. The second person was a 12-year-old boy from East Jakarta, who died last week. His case was unrelated to the Sumatra cluster.

The WHO had already included the sixth North Sumatra confirmation on their site, but Indonesian officials say they received that report separately.
