An Indonesian woman from West Java province died of bird flu, an official said Friday, citing local laboratory results.
The 23-year-old from Bekasi, a town just east of Indonesia's capital Jakarta, died overnight after five days at the Sulianti Saroso Hospital, said Ilham Patu, a hospital official.
Blood and swab samples from the victim have been sent to a World Health Organization-accredited laboratory in Hong Kong for confirmation, he said.
