A woman suspected of dying from avian influenza at a hospital in southern Bac Lieu Province last Friday has tested negative for the virus, the Bac Lieu Preventative Health Center said Monday.

The center’s director Nguyen Thanh Tung said tests had confirmed that patient Ly Thi Hang from the Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang had not contracted the H5N1 virus.

Hang was admitted to the hospital last Monday with symptoms similar to those of bird flu including headache, fatigue, and respiratory distress.

A person familiar with the matter said Hang had eaten sick ducks about a month ago.
