Indonesia has reported two more deaths from the H5N1 strain of bird flu, bringing the national total to seven.
A senior official from the ministry, Hariadi Wibisono, said the tests were from a 20-year-old woman who died last weekend and a 16-year-old girl who died last week.
Both victims died in Jakarta after contact with dead chickens.
"We received the test results this morning and both victims were positive for bird flu," Wibisono said.
He said that took total confirmed deaths to seven, with four positive cases where patients survived.
It comes as China confirmed its first human case of bird flu, saying the H5N1 virus may have killed up to three people and setting.
off alarm bells about a potential global pandemic that could kill millions of people.
At least one woman is confirmed to have died from H5N1, another woman is suspected of dying from the same strain while an infected boy has since recovered.
The health ministry said a 24-year-old woman in the eastern province of Anhui died of the bird flu on November 10 after falling ill on November 1.
Anhui has been the scene of two bird flu outbreaks in recent weeks.
"One to two weeks before she died, chickens and ducks raised by her family had died, and she had been in contact with the dead poultry," according to the health ministry.
