Avian Flu Update: France is investigating a possible case in a woman who visited Turkey and its dead bires:
The woman, 32, was hospitalised in Montpellier following a two-week stay in the Tarsus region.
"A first test has come out as negative. Other tests are under way," a ministry spokesman said.
According to the ministry, the woman came into contact with dead birds during her visit, which she took alone.
She showed symptoms of flu combined with breathing difficulties and was taken to hospital yesterday.
Hopefully her subsequent tests will prove negative as well. And still no sign of human to human transmission. But, it's good that they're being vigilant. posted by Sydney on
