The girl, from Nam Dinh province 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Hanoi, was taken to hospital on Monday and tested positive for the H5N1 virus two days later.

"She died last night," said Cao Van Vien, a director from the Institute of Tropical Diseases in Hanoi.

A woman of 40 from Quang Ninh province bordering China has also tested positive and has been in hospital since the end of the last week in a stable condition.

Since the end of 2003, the bird flu virus has killed 34 Vietnamese, 12 Thais and two Cambodians.
