Cambodia late last week reported its sixth case and fifth death from H5N1 avian flu this year, according to the country's Ministry of Health. 

The 52-year-old man had handled sick and dead poultry 2 days before experiencing fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. The man lived in Prasat village in Svay Rieng province.

Three children and another adult man have also died from H5N1 infections in Cambodia this year. The non-fatal infection occurred in an adult woman who did not report handling sickened poultry.
