137 BIRD FLU CASES IN RI UP TO AUG 2008

Jakarta 23/9/2008 (Kominfo-Newsroom) – Total of avian flu cases in Indonesia up to Aug. 2008 comes to 137, with 112 fatalities.

Avian Influenza (AI) cases are found in 12 of 33 provinces. And sufferers are 51% male and 49% female, according to Erna Tresnaningsih, Director of Control of Diseases caused by Animals, Health Ministry, here Tuesday (23/8).

Highest incidence of AI is in Tangerang. Intensive efforst aimed at surmounting the disease are pooled there. This includes training of officers to manage AI and procurement of medical instruments and equipment and medicines.

High rate of fatalities, she said, is due to shortage of AI knowledge among residents.

Also, most AI patients go to private hospitals in which AI medicine is not available.

AI medicines are only available in state hospitals or Puskesmas (public health centers).

Tamiflu is not available at private hospitals and dispensaries. The government is afraid they might be exploited by irresponsible business circles.
Understandably, medical officers and nurses in private hospitals are not well trained in the treatment of AI patients. (T.jul/mul/toeb/ton)

Comparing this quote with the table in post #95 indicates that three of the yet unconfirmed cases (by WHO) are from West Java and the fourth is from DKI Jakarata. (Athough the total from the Special Captial District should be 35 if there is one additional person who died.)

Commentary

The DEPKES links in the posts in this thread are no longer functioning. It seems that when DEPKES shifted to a new web format, possibly based on Joomla, all of the links to the old web site went dead.
<o:p> </o:p>
Specific case information about some of the H5N1 infected individuals (in Bahasa Indonesia) reported in this thread can still be found in archived posts at KOMNAS FBPI, <o:p></o:p>another Indonesian government agency. The archive KOMNAS FBPI posts, from 2006 to 2010, can be found at this link. This is a link to the original Bahasa Indonesia web pages. There is a button in the upper right hand corner for an English translation, but at least of couple of news reports in Bahasa Indonesia did not make the translation jump to English.

It also seems that current human H5N1 cases in Indonesia are not being reported by KOMNAS FBPI. For concerned flu bloggers, it might be worthwhile to download and capture these earlier, original Bahasa Indonesia news reports with information on human H5N1 cases before these too disappear from the web.

The KOMNAS FBPI project ended last march, a new project started: "KOMNAS Zoonosis". No more updates to be expected of the Komnas FBPI website.

After the transition I did not hear anything from the new Komnas, no website either. I could have missed it.

One of the posters of Komnas FBPI - Andika Pambudi - started a new blog this spring, mostly in Indonesian: http://info-flu.blogspot.com/

The blog is about "bird flu, swine flu and pandemic flu".
