Cambodian teenager ill with bird flu

A 19-year-old Cambodian who ate poultry has been confirmed with H5N1 bird flu, the country's first human case in more than 18 months. The man is the eighth person to have contracted bird flu in Cambodia since the first case in 2005. He's in a stable condition in the capital's Calmette hospital. The patient came from the province of Kandal, about 50 km (30 miles) south of Phnom Penh. He fell ill on Nov. 28 but was only confirmed as having bird flu this week.
