Vietnamese authorities say two people died in the region north of the country after H5N1 bird flu virus.
They're doing tests on 11 other people who came in a state of fever to determine whether they are infected.
They were all local residents in the same community in the province of Bac Kan.
Areas of the diseased area is very worrying because it means the virus, H5N1, in this case, was able to spread among humans.
But a health official said there was no evidence to conclude the occurrence of infection from human-to-human.
Local media reports said the dead birds have been seen in the township and the patient may have had contact with sick poultry.
