Riauterkini-Pekanbaru- Until this already four Riau residents it was confirmed died because of the bird flu virus.
While another died, but the assurance of the negative or positive was affected by bird flu still was waiting for results of the laboratory test.
Almost all the bird flu patient who died as a result of the delay of the detection of the bird flu virus that resulted in the delay of the handling of the standard of the bird flu patient, like Tamiflu giving and other.
The delay of this detection was acknowledged by Chairman Tim of the Control of Bird Flu of RSUD Arifin Achmad Pekanbaru Dr. Azizman Saad to riauterkini some time before.
From four bird flu casualties, three including dying in RSUD Arifin Achmad.
The three of them when being reconciled already in the critical condition and afterwards was not helped.


Kasubdin Pelayanan Kesehatan Dinas of the Health Riau Burhanuddin Agung did not skim the existence of the delay factor reconciled the patient suspect bird flu to RSUD Arifin Achmad, but that was according to him caused by the situation dilemma that was dealt with by the doctors before concluding a patient suspect bird flu.

The "sign" of "bird flu of the beginning was similar feverishly beradarah ((ed, fever berdarah = dengue fever)), because that dillema for the doctor to immediately concluded someone bird flu or not, because that later be related to credibility he as the doctor."

If evidently not bird flu, but only dengue fever, he could be accused of being reckless, he said to riauterkini in Pekanbaru, on Tuesday (23/10).

Moreover for three cases of bird flu in Riau that has died, the three of them just experienced the breathless sign after entered the sixth day.

Indonesian girl did not die of bird flu: official


Jakarta(ANTARA News) - A young Indonesian girl who died at the weekend on the island of Sumatra was not infected with bird flu, a health ministry official said Monday.

The 10-year-old was admitted to hospital on Saturday suffering symptoms that led doctors to suspect she could be carrying the H5N1 virus, which has killed 88 people in Indonesia, the highest number anywhere in the world.

"The test result is negative," Haris Sugiantoro, an official at the health ministry's bird flu information centre, told AFP.

If the ministry result is positive, a second test is carried out at a separate laboratory before a patient is confirmed as infected with bird flu in Indonesia.

Re: Indonesian Human Cases Oct 20+

Thanks Laidback Al. Could you give me an approximate distance between Linda and Gozi? Is there a road/railway connecting the two?
You map is absolutely wonderful, thanks for going thru the trouble.

The distance between Lembah Damia and Merempan Hulu is about 60 kilometers (38 miles). See map below. The map also depicts major roads (in red) but they are not accurately plotted and are probably from an outdated data source. As you can seen from the second zoomed image on Merempan Hulu, there are other small roads and trails on the landsat image.

Merempan Hulu is a Desa (a small village unit) about 3 by 6 miles, so only the general location is shown. The clouds obscure some of houses which appear to be to the north. The third maps shows Desa Merempan Hulu and other Desa in the surrounding areas.

Re: Indonesian Human Cases Oct 20+

Laidback Al, Thanks for reminding me about Desa's. It is also very helpful to know the approximate size. And the great maps!!! How were you able to find that Merampi is also called Merempan? I think the last time you got it from wikipedia?

Indonesian girl dies of bird flu-health ministry

Reuters AlertNet - 23 Oct 2007 16:06:37 GMT

JAKARTA, Oct 23 (Reuters) - An Indonesian toddler from Tangerang, west of the capital Jakarta, has died of bird flu, bringing the country's death toll from the disease to 89, a health ministry official said on Tuesday.

The four-year-old girl died on Monday after being admitted to hospital two days earlier, health ministry spokeswoman Lili Sulistyowati said by telephone.

The girl, who had been suffering from fever, died after being transferred to Persahabatan hospital in Jakarta.

Officials were still investigating the case, but four chickens had previously died in the girl's neighbourhood, another official at the ministry's bird flu centre said.

Contact with sick fowl is the most common way for humans to contract the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus.

Bird flu is endemic in bird populations in most parts of Indonesia, where millions of backyard chickens live in close proximity with humans.

Indonesia, which has now had 110 confirmed cases of the disease in humans, has suffered more fatalities than any other country.

Including the latest case, there have been 204 deaths and 332 cases globally since 2003, according to World Health Organisation data.

Experts fear if an easy means of transmission from human to human develops, there might be a pandemic affecting millions.
