Speculation grew about a possible geographic cluster of illnesses in
Viet Nam's Bac Kan province as The World Health Organization (WHO)
today [9 Apr 2010] confirmed Egypt's latest human H5N1 case and death
[posted previously in ProMED-mail report archived as: "Avian
influenza, human (27): Egypt, 109th case/34th death 20100405.1090"].

Influenza Internet message boards and blogs today [9 Apr 2010] are
citing new media reports, some of them from local Vietnamese language
sources, that appear to confirm and provide fresh details about an
earlier report on a potential geographic H5N1 cluster. The affected
area is Bac Kan province in northeastern Viet Nam, home to the
country's latest confirmed H5N1 case-patient [see: ProMED-mail post
archived as: "Avian influenza, human (28): Viet Nam (BK), RFI
20100405.1092."].

On Mon 5 Apr 2010, Voice of Viet Nam, a news outlet that publishes
English-language reports, said provincial health authorities
confirmed [avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection] in a 22-year-old
man who was hospitalized in critical condition. The same report said
4 other people from the man's commune in Cho Moi district had similar
symptoms and were being treated and quarantined at the Bac Kan
regional hospital.

Today [9 Apr 2010], Voice of Viet Nam reported that [avian influenza
(H5N1) virus infection] has been confirmed in another patient from
Cho Moi district, a 27-year-old man who visited the area 4 or 5 days
before he got sick. A Bac Kan media report from today, obtained,
translated, and reported on the FluTrackers internet message board,
said avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection has also been confirmed
in a 27-month-old toddler and that medical authorities are tracking
21 other suspected cases, of which 7 have reportedly been
hospitalized. The report said their symptoms include fever, cough,
and shortness of breath. Some of the patients are reportedly the
child's family members, and the local media report suggested that
they may have shared exposure to infected poultry or contaminated
meat. The news report also mentioned control measures such as
disinfection of affected areas and that the area has received a
supply of oseltamivir, personal protective equipment, and medical sup!
plies, according to FluTracker translations of the story. Media
reports have also noted that checkpoints have been posted on roads
leading to the affected area.

Mike Coston, a former paramedic who covers and analyzes breaking flu
news on his Avian Flu Diary blog, noted today [9 Apr 2010] that
machine translations of foreign-language news reports are valuable
but can sometimes contain glitches and lack key nuances. "Still, the
stories coming out of Viet Nam appear to be reasonably consistent and
have persisted now for several days. They are worthy of our notice,"
he wrote. Sharon Sanders, editor-in-chief of FluTrackers, told CIDRAP
News that if health authorities confirm the findings, it will be Viet
Nam's 1st geographic H5N1 cluster since late 2008 and early 2009,
when 2 sisters were infected.

Re: Vietnam - 3rd Confirmed H5N1 Human Case in Cho Moi district, Bac Kan - 12 Hospitalized, 21 Total Suspected Cases

Good news: it would seem that the patients are responding to Tamiflu, and that Vietnam is being very pro-active here.

Now the critical question will be if any more suspect cases start emerging now that they have completed stamping out and environmental disinfection procedures. If that occurs it points towards a human transmissible virus, but even if that does happen, it may be that they have responded rapidly enough to contain and eliminate the virus here - it looks quite a remote and isolated area.

Re: Vietnam - 2nd Confirmed H5N1 Human Case in Cho Moi district, Bac Kan - 11 Hospitalized, 21 Total Suspected Cases

I read this as:

Cho Moi Village only -

2 confirmed patients.

11 more had defined symptoms of H5N1 illness.

8 who were in the hospital, for 1 week, have been sent home.

All suspected cases on tamiflu.

Were the patients who were in the hospital for 1 week there as a preventative quarantine like Egypt has done in the past? Or are they actual cases who responded well to tamiflu and/or only had a light viral load of H5N1?

So how many are still in the hospital? 3?

Vietnam confirms 2 bird flu cases; 11 quarantined
TRAN VAN MINH 0 Comments Published: April 13, 2010


HANOI, Vietnam (AP) ? Two Vietnamese from a poor, mountainous area have been infected with bird flu, and 11 others were quarantined with flulike symptoms, health officials said Tuesday.


A 22-year-old man and a 27-month-old girl remain hospitalized after testing positive for the H5N1 virus, said Hoang Van Linh, deputy director of northern Bac Kan province's health department. He said the 11 others, some of whom were relatives of the confirmed cases, had fallen ill with fever, coughing and shortness of breath.

They were given the antiviral Tamiflu and have since recovered. He said they were tested for bird flu, but the results have not come back.

Dead chickens were reported at the homes of the two patients, and the toddler's family is believed to have slaughtered and eaten some of the infected poultry, according to the Ministry of Health's Web site. Ly Quoc Khach, an infectious disease official from the provincial health department, said all 11 people, members of the Tay and Nung ethnic minorities, had contact with the sick birds, and he said he did not believe there would be any reason to fear possible human-to-human transmission if they did test positive.

The 22-year-old man remains on a respirator after being hospitalized April 2, while the toddler, who was admitted two days later, is in stable condition, Hoang said. All of the sick people's homes in Ma Tao commune have since been disinfected, and the infected poultry have been slaughtered, Ly said.

Vietnam has been hit with a spate of fresh H5N1 outbreaks among poultry, and two people have died from the disease this year, according to the World health Organization, which confirms 59 deaths since late 2003.

The disease remains rare among people, with most cases linked to direct contact with infected poultry. But experts have long feared the virulent virus could mutate into a form that allows it to spread easily among people, possibly igniting a pandemic.

Re: Vietnam - 3 Reported H5N1 Human Cases in Bac Kan - 11 Hospitalized, 21 Total Suspected Cases

Vietnam awaits more test results in suspected H5N1 cluster

Lisa Schnirring Staff Writer

Apr 13, 2010 (CIDRAP News) ? Two patients who are part of a suspected H5N1 avian influenza case cluster in northern Vietnam's Bac Kan province are still hospitalized, with 11 others isolated for flu-like symptoms, health officials said today.
The two hospitalized patients include a 22-year-old man and a 27-month-old girl whose confirmed infections were previously reported by the Vietnamese media, the Associated Press (AP) reported today.
Hoang Van Linh, deputy director of northern Bac Kan's health department, told the news service that some of the isolated group includes relatives of the two hospitalized patients. Hoang said the 11 people in isolation recovered after treatment with oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and that he is awaiting test results to see if any were infected with the H5N1 virus.
The man was hospitalized on Apr 2 and remains under care, and the toddler, admitted Apr 4, is in stable condition, he told the AP.
FluTrackers, an Internet message board that translates foreign-language news reports on infectious disease events, has been following local coverage of the suspected cluster for the past several days. Though FluTrackers and other infectious disease blogs warn readers to interpret translated reports with caution, they have noted that most of the information coming out of Vietnam about the cluster has been consistent.
Vietnam's health ministry, in a Web posting, said dead chickens were reported at the homes of the two hospitalized patients and that the toddler's family reportedly slaughtered and ate some of the infected poultry, according to the AP report. A provincial infectious disease official told the AP that all of the isolated patients had contact with sick birds.
Bac Kan province, a mountainous area in northern Vietnam, was among two areas cited in H5N1 outbreak reports that the country's agriculture ministry submitted to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) on Apr 10. The outbreak in Bac Kan started on Mar 19, killing 318 of 550 birds in the affected village. The remaining 142 birds were destroyed to control the spread of the virus.
The country also reported that the virus struck birds in a village in Quang Ninh province, located on Vietnam's northeastern coast, killing 1,231 of 1,554 birds. The remaining poultry were destroyed.
An investigation into the source of the events suggested that introduction of new animals, illegal movement of birds, and fomites were linked to the two H5N1 outbreaks, the OIE report said.
Geographic and family H5N1 clusters are relatively rare, and they raise fears that the virus has improved its ability to infect humans, which could increase the risk that the virus could become a pandemic flu strain.
For example, a cluster of confirmed and suspected H5N1 cases occurred in northwestern Pakistan in late 2007. The World Health Organization (WHO) investigation revealed that the virus probably spread among four brothers and went no further.
Also in late 2007 the father of a Chinese man who died of an H5N1 infection was hospitalized with H5N1 avian flu. Reports at the time were unclear about the men's exposure to sick and dead birds.
Despite periodic reports of clusters, human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus, though suspected in some instances, has been confirmed in the laboratory only once, in a North Sumatra, Indonesia, family in 2006. The cluster involved seven cases, six of them fatal. A WHO investigation into the illnesses revealed that the virus mutated slightly when it infected a 10-year-old boy, who then passed the same virus to his father.

Re: Vietnam - 3 Reported H5N1 Human Cases in Bac Kan - 11 Hospitalized, 21 Total Suspected Cases

Hi everyone, I've been away from H5N1 forums (mainly on the old CE) for a long time due to illness so it's good to see some familiar names, though you might not remember me. Congratulations on the great work you've been doing, I see you're getting some of the recognition you all deserve.

It'll take me some time to catch up with everything but can someone tell me what the current thinking is on Tamiflu treatment producing false negatives?
