Bird flu is suspected to have caused human deaths in Azerbaijan. Six members of the same family were hospitalized on suspicion of contracting bird flu. Two girls, the daughters of the head of the family, died a few days ago, presumably from bird flu, Azerbaijan\'s Deputy Health Minister Abbas Velibekov told journalists on Sunday. \"Those hospitalized have been diagnosed with acute pneumonia, but the cases arouse a great deal of suspicion,\" Velibekov said. Experts continue laboratory tests and blood samples have also been sent to London. The family lives in Azerbaijan\'s Salyany district and keeps poultry. (Interfax)
