Three more Cambodian people were hospitalised for having symptoms similar to those of bird flu virus infection, said the country's Health officials on March 25.
The patients, including one adult and two children, come from a village next to the home village of the three-year-old girl, who died five days ago after falling ill, affected by the H5N1 virus.
In addition, five others, who had contacts with the suspected cases, were being tested, local medical officials said.
The same day, a senior official of the Indonesian Health Ministry said that local test confirmed a one-year old baby girl who died in Jakarta on March 23 was positive for bird flu virus. It was not clear whether she had contacts with poultry, the official added.
If confirmed by the World Health Organisation's Hongkong-based laboratory, this will be Indonesia's 23rd bird flu fatality in Indonesia.
