The Indonesian Ministry of Health confirmed that a 27-year-old woman died as a result of bird flu infection - she was infected with the virulent (powerful, deadly) H5N1 virus strain.
The woman developed bird flu like symptoms on the 13th February and died on the 20th February.
The woman's neighbourhood had reported many chickens dying of bird flu a few days before she started feeling ill.
This brings to 27 the total number of human cases of bird flu infection in Indonesia - of which 20 have died.
According to local traders, the sale of chicken meat in Indonesia has plummeted.
