LAGOS, Jan 31 (Reuters) - A 22-year-old woman died from bird flu after handling infected chicken, Nigeria said on Wednesday, confirming the first human fatality in sub-Saharan Africa.

The government believes three other people may have died of the H5N1 virus in Africa's most populous nation, but tests proved inconclusive.

"Last night our team of 13 scientists were able to conclusively identify the case of avian influenza in a 22-year-old female who died in Lagos," Information Minister Frank Nweke told a news conference.

Nigeria is one of three countries regarded by experts as the weakest areas in the global attempt to stem the virus's spread.
