Hamburg, Germany — Doctors in Germany are examining a woman suspected of contracting bird flu during a recent trip to Thailand, officials in Hamburg said Monday.

The woman complained nausea, dizziness and fever after returning from a trip to Thailand on Saturday, the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine said in a statement.

Initial medical tests have not confirmed bird flu. Further test results were expected later Monday, the institute said.

The woman was under observation at the institute and in good condition.
