Head physician of the Institute Khayyam Mammadov told the APA that though Askerov, brought to the Institute and being cured of pneumonia has no bird flu virus, taking into account bird flu virus in Dayikend last year, they decided to send the patient's analysis to the WHO reference laboratory. The man who had bird flu virus in that village last year is the Askerovs' relative.

WHO Office in Azerbaijan told the APA that the Health Ministry will appeal to this organization to send the samples to the reference laboratory.

World Health Organization will ensure sending these samples to London within 3-4 days. No blood test of an Azerbaijani is being examined in WHO laboratory at present.
