Two young children being treated for bird flu in eastern Turkey have been found to have the virulent H5N1 virus.

The children were aged five and eight, a World Health Organisation (WHO) spokesman said.

This week three children from the eastern Turkish town of Dogubeyazit died, of whom at least two were found to have the virulent H5N1 strain.

Worried residents have besieged a poorly-equipped local hospital there seeking treatment for symptoms.
