Official confirmation of this suspected human case of avian influenza   (H5N1) virus infection in Viet Nam is awaited. If confirmed this will   be the 5th case in Viet Nam during 2009, and the 57th overall. There   has been no proof in the past in any country that avian influenza   (H5N1) virus infection can be contracted by consumption of cooked   poultry or poultry products. It must be presumed that the victim in   this incident had been exposed to live or recently deceased infected   ducks. - Mod.CP

Numerous suspected human cases of avian H5N1 influenza have been   reported regularly in various regions of Indonesia, mostly in the   local press, but none have been confirmed subsequently. According to   the WHO Timeline there has been no confirmed case of avian influenza   (H5N1) virus infection in Indonesia throughout 2009 http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/country/cases_

During 2009 so far Egypt has been the most affected country with 39   confirmed cases, followed by China with 7 cases and Viet Nam with 4. -   Mod.CP
 
Indonesia's poultry/waterbirds industry has been heavily and   continuously H5N1-infected. I have recently met one of the   international experts with Indonesian experience and he confirmed that   this is still the situation. ProMED-mail have posted 32 items on avian   influenza in Indonesia (including 25 on suspected human cases) since   the beginning of 2009. - Mod.AS/JW
