Beijing hospital denies hiding superbug deaths

Micro-blogger claims bug responsible for killing at least 10 patients

BEIJING - Health authorities on Tuesday ruled out a superbug outbreak at one of the city's top hospitals, following a micro blog posting on Monday that claimed it hid about 10 deaths caused by the superbug.

The micro blog user, named "Lucky Likun", also posted a photo showing three men standing outside Beijing Anzhen Hospital, one of the city's best hospitals famous for treating heart diseases. The men held paper banners proclaiming many people had died in the hospital due to a superbug and they wanted to see the president of the hospital.
