世界衛生組織(WHO)23日證實,印尼蘇門達臘島一家庭中6位成員死於H5N1,此一高病原性禽流感已奪去9國共124人的生命。雖然初期檢驗呈現陰性反應,但在同一家庭間的群聚傳染顯示,病毒有突變為具有人傳人能力的可能。

Six members of a family on the Indonesian island of Sumatra have now died from the highly pathogenic form of avian influenza, H5N1, that has killed 124 people in nine countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed today. Although early tests have been negative, the cluster of H5N1 infections in the same family indicates that the virus may have mutated to become contagious among humans.
