Lately we see a lot of Indonesian reports confusing H1N1 and H5N1, swine flu and bird flu.


The testresults will tell - if published.
The report cites contact with an American, which indicates suspect/probable H1N1 (not H5N1).

That, in and of itself, is troubling.

Much of that naming confusion comes from journalists who are used to writing about "bird flu". This report however, is discussing H1N1 and cites contact with an American (as a source). If talking anout H5N1 they would cite contact with dead or dying poultry. In addition, the "default" fro Indonesia is H5N1, so H5N1 could be H5N1 or H1N1. In this report, H1N1 us used (in the text and headline), which is why I consudered it "breaking". A death this early suggest that the H1N1 virus has changed, or the number of H1N1 cases is significantly under-reported (or both).
