July 14, 2006 JAKARTA - A three-year-old Indonesian girl who died this month has tested positive for bird flu according to tests by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, a health ministry official said on Friday.
The child's death takes the number of human bird flu deaths in the country to 41. Lily Sulistyowati, the health ministry's spokeswoman, said the toddler had contact with sick fowl, the usual route of transmission of the H5N1 virus, which is endemic in poultry in almost all of Indonesia's 33 provinces. |

Thursday, July 13, 2006 WASHINGTON -- Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert was hospitalized Thursday for treatment of a skin infection, his office said.
Hastert, 64, was admitted to the National Naval Medical Center -- commonly called Bethesda Naval Hospital -- for treatment of cellulitis, a bacterial infection. He will remain hospitalized over the weekend and off his feet for at least three days "so that it can be properly treated with intravenous antibiotics," the statement said. The infection appeared several days ago on his lower left leg. Its symptoms are a swollen, red section of skin that feels hot and tender. Untreated, it can spread quickly and be life-threatening, according to the Mayo Clinic's Web site. |
