A man has died of bird flu in East China's Jiangsu province. He was the 17th Chinese to die of the disease since 2003.
The 24-year-old victim developed fever and other symptoms on November the 24th and died nine days later in hospital on Sunday. Tests showed he was infected with the H5N1 virus, though he had had no contact with infected or dead poultry.
All 69 people who had close contact with him have been put under strict medical observation. So far, they have shown no symptoms. No bird flu epidemic has been found in the province so far.
