Edit: Bird Flu Corner revised their first review: the young woman "S" from Surabaya was 18, not 28.


Summary from Bird Flu Information Corner


Indonesia human bird flu suspected cases review, February 2009.

“This statement is purely personal opinion of author. There is nothing that reliable and can be use as reference.”


Since the beginning of the year 2009, Indonesia has reported several bird flu outbreaks in chickens and human suspected cases.

The first recorded and officially confirmed human H5N1 infected victims were 29-year-old woman from Tangerang and 6-year-old girl from Bekasi.

Since then several human suspect cases appeared and one of them, St (F/28) from Surabaya had been confirmed positive H5N1 infection. However, the former case hasn’t been officially announced as positive case by Indonesia government.

Other suspect cases from Demak, Bali, Cirebon and Maros had been reported negative by media news according to medical examination, meanwhile some others remain uncleared.

In Bogor, last February 2009, two victims had possibly killed by bird flu virus followed by one more suspected ill victim from the same area. Those three victims were also known as siblings. Eventhough medical examination showed highly possibility of bird flu infection, but no confirmation has been released until now.

Somehow, the fatal victims from Bogor were also buried strictly as they might have infectious disease. Most recent cases, involving 7 human suspected victims from Bekasi are also still under investigation.

Most all cases have contact history with dead chickens, or dead chickens findings around the neighborhood or visiting wet market. Two cases, NA (F/43) from Cengkareng and St (F/28) from Surabaya reported had no any contact with birds nor did visit wet market.

Avian influenza news whether related to chicken outbreaks or human suspected cases is not popular topics in Indonesia lately. This may be due to other domestic hot news such as upcoming general election event and national incidents as earthquakes, transportation accident and political issues.

From Surabaya Lab Blog, Dr Nidoms team.

More on the confirmed case in Surabaya.

Surabaya Avian Influenza Human Case

On January 24, 2009 there was a new human case of Avian Influenza infection. The victim, S, 21 years, was a housemaid. She was living in Darmo Permai.

On January 31, 2009 we went to the house of S and investigated the factor of infection. After we arrived there, many questions occured in our mind. How can she get infected? in what way? why there were many questions in our mind because we saw that the living are were clean and hygiene. No pets, no bird and no chicken in her house.

According to her friend who lived there too, she had not contact with chicken before she got sick and she have had fever 3 days before finally the family took her to Soetomo Hospital.

After we investigated deeply, we found the fact that everyday she went to wet market, which was about 1 km from her house. And in the wet market, we found 2 chicken seller who pooled chicken from many area in East Java. Until now we are still tracking the origin of the chicken and do the surveillance in that wet market.

And on February 2, 2009 we went to Muji Rahayu hospital. It was the first hospital which S came to the medical doctor and hospitalized before she finally was brought to Soetomo Hospital. In this hospital there were 32 health worker who involved directly to treat the victim.

Until now, the investigation is still going on.

Two suspected human cases of avian influenza in Tangerang, one fatal
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A child (aged 2 years 9 months) residing in the Serpong Subdistrict
of Tangerang City South [Banten province] is suspected to have died
as a result of avian influenza virus infection.

Another Tangerang resident (a 15-year-old boy) is suspected also to
have contracted avian influenza virus infection and is currently
being treated in hospital.

The child's father stated that his son developed a high fever on 14
Feb 2009 and he immediately took the child to the local community
health centre and contacted his doctor. After 3 days the clinic
transferred the child to hospital on suspicion that he was suffering
from avian influenza virus infection. However despite intensive care
the condition of the child continued to deteriorate and he died on 17
Feb 2009. In a statement to correspondents the father admitted he did
not know the precise cause of his son's death, and so far he had been
given no information by the hospital. The child has now been buried
in TPU Kramat Tajug.

An [agricultural service official] stated that he has received
information from Litbangkes (Laboratory Dep of Health) that the child
had tested positive for avian H5N1 influenza virus infection. [This
official] had been responsible for collecting samples from poultry in
the area, but had not yet received results of the tests.

Are there any specifics on the three paramedics in critical condition (disease onset dates / testing).

It is possible the paramedics have been sick since February 4th or 5th.
