Two-year old Wahyu Ibnu Saputra, who has been treated for a suspected case of birdflu, died in isolation at Arifin Achmad Hospital in Pekanbaru, Riau, early Thursday morning.Azizman Saad of the hospital's birdflu handling team told state news agency Antara that Wahyu had trouble breathing and lost consciousness before dying.
He said that six doctors worked to save the boy's life. Wahyu was pronounced dead at around 02:00 a.m..
Azizman said that the patient's condition was relatively stable on Wednesday morning, but quickly deteriorated during the evening.
Wahyu was admitted as a birdflu suspect last Friday, after being treated at another hospital for six days.
Azizman said the hospital has yet to announce whether the boy died of birdflu, as it is still waiting for the result of nasal and throat swab tests form the Health Ministry's laboratory in Jakarta. (dre)
