The death of a 17-year-old youth from Phichit has been confirmed to be from infection of the deadly H5N1 Bird Flu virus. He suffered from an acute lung infection and flu-like symptoms after he had buried 20 fowls that had died of unknown causes in his village.
The announcement of his passing came a day after the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry confirmed a fresh outbreak of the H5N1 Bird Flu strain in Phichit's Bang Mun Nak district.
"Our focus of testing in this East Asian region is proving to be prudent. As continued outbreaks occur within this locality, it is our desire for Citroxin to gain recognition as a solution to this potential pandemic," stated Gruden.
