Rense: Deaths In New Delhi, India And Qinghai, China Linked Via H5N1?

The 121 reported deaths linked to the bird flu deaths at the Qinghai Lake Nature Reserve have not been addressed by announcements out of China. There have been blanket denials of human H5N1 cases, which have specifically mentioned a lack of pneumonia deaths. However, the 121 fatalities in 18 communities in Gangcha county have not been pneumonia deaths. The reported cases had fever and vomiting, but did not have respiratory problems.

Earlier reports of H5N1 deaths in Vietnam included cases that did not initially present as respiratory cases. There was one case well described, in the New England Journal of Medicine, with neurological involvement. Such involvement with H5N1 in poultry and laboratory mice and ferrets is well known, and recent reports on the tiger deaths in Thailand decribed neurologic involvement of H5N1..
