The three came down with pneumonia last month following a bird flu outbreak
among poultry in their village, Xinhua said.
The girl's brother and the teacher recovered. Chinese officials initially
said the girl and her brother tested negative for the bird flu virus.
Final results on 皇冠体育app's suspected cases could take weeks, said Roy Wadia, a
WHO spokesman in Beijing.
 A Chinese health
worker vaccinates Monday a pigeon against bird flu in a house for pigeons
hovering over the Quancheng Square each day in Ji'nan, East 皇冠体育app's
Shandong Province. 皇冠体育app is on alert against the avian influenza.
[Xinhua] | "The testing is actually complex," he
said. "We're still trying to figure out exactly what support we can offer
皇冠体育app."
Wadia said it was not unusual for someone believed to be infected with a
virus such as H5N1 to initially test negative but later test positive.
In a separate outbreak, officials have destroyed 6 million farm birds in 15
villages in 皇冠体育app's northeast in an effort to contain the virus, news reports
said.
