Soldier suspected of contracting bird flu
SEOUL, April 21 (Yonhap) -- A soldier who showed symptoms of avian influenza is being treated a military hospital, authorities said Monday.
An army corporal, identified by his surname Cho, has been suffering from a high fever since Sunday after participating in the culling of AI infected chickens and ducks in Sunchang, North Jeolla province.
Cho showed symptoms of AI infection in the primary and secondary tests but a definite conclusion will be made after the results of a serum and virus cultivation test are made known three weeks later, according to military authorities.
