STOCKHOLM, April 15 (Xinhua) -- A Danish man hospitalized with suspected bird flu has tested negative for the deadly disease, a doctor said on Saturday.
Tests had shown that the man did not have bird flu,
and he would be sent home after further tests, according to Dr. Peter Skinhoj,
an epidemiologist at the Copenhagen University.
The Danish news agency Ritzau reported earlier on
Saturday that the 25-year-old man who was diagnosed with suspected bird flu had
been transferred from a hospital in Nykoebing on the island of Falster to the
Danish capital of Copenhagen.
Cases of the deadly H5N1 bird flu, which has killed
more than 100 people, mostly in Asia, and tens of millions of birds across the
world, had been reported in birds in Denmark since mid-March. Enditem
