Although when his side inquire concerning aforementioned to coordination post Avian Influenza in Jakarta, he obtain answer/response that possible.

[1] Indonesia - 89th death reported
Date: Tue 23 Oct 2007
Source: Reuters Foundation AlertNet [edited]
<http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L23739948.htm>


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 [23 Oct
2007]. The 4-year-old girl died on Monday [22 Oct 2007] after being
admitted to hospital 2 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 4 chickens had previously died in the
girl's neighborhood, 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 to humans.

Indonesia, which has now had 110 confirmed cases of the disease in
humans [if the information in this report is included], has suffered
more fatalities than any other country. Including the latest case
[described above], there have been 204 deaths and 332 cases globally
since 2003, according to World Health Organisation data [see the WHO
table of confirmed cases of human H5N1 avian influenza, last updated
on 17 Oct 2007, at
<http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/country/cases_table_2007_10_17/en/index.html>].

Seven children aged between one and 10 years old are suspected of
having bird flu in Indonesia's Riau province [on the island of
Sumatra], where 4 people have died of the virus in recent months, an
official said Tuesday [23 Oct 2007]. "It is only suspicion, but we
are [keen] to handle the case[s]," local head office head Hasanul
Irbai was quoted by leading news website Detikcom as saying.

The 7 children live in Merampi Hulu village, Siak regency, in the
province on Sumatra island. "The Siak government will immediately
send the children to the Arifin Achmad Hospital in Pekaanbaru (the
provincial capital)," he said.

Earlier this week, the government confirmed that bird flu was the
cause of the death of a 10-year-old girl in Riau, bringing the total
number of national casualties to 89, the highest among other bird-flu
affected countries in the world. [This statement may be erroneous;

[ProMED-mail post "Avian influenza, human (141): Indonesia
20071022.3443" carries a statement from an official at the Health
Ministry's bird flu information centre contradicting an earlier
Xinhua-relayed report that a 10-year-old child in Riau province had
died as a result of avian influenza virus infection. Therefore,
pending further clarification, the Xinhua report should be
discounted, and the 4-year-old child resident in Tangerang (in Java)
described in part [1] of this post should be considered the 89th
fatality in Indonesia and the 110th case.

The cause of death of the 10-year-old girl in Riau province and the 7
new suspected cases remains to be established and confirmed by
laboratory testing.

Edit: NO NEW PATIENT; this must be DEWI who died Monday; new information: her brother "had fever", received Tamiflu.

Bird flu claims another life

Multa Fidrus, The Jakarta Post, Tangerang

Tangerang regency health agency confirmed Thursday the latest human bird flu fatality.

A 4-year-old girl died Monday at Persahabatan Hospital in East Jakarta, said agency head Hani Hariyanto.

The girl's parents, Zainul Arifin and Darsini, said their youngest child ran a high fever for about 10 days.

"We thought it was just common flu and gave her cold medicine," Zainul told The Jakarta Post at his home in Suka Asih village on Thursday.

After a week of treatment at home, when the girl's condition worsened the couple sought treatment for her at two medical clinics in the Pasar Kemis district, both of which refused to admit her.

The child's parents were told that Sari Asih military hospital, about 500 meters away, had better facilities and to take her there.

"I took her to Kesdam Hospital but they said they couldn't treat her because there was no doctor on duty. They told us to take her to Sari Asih Hospital," said Zainal, a factory worker.

He said a doctor who examined his daughter at Sari Asih initially said she had dengue fever but later changed his mind, noting acute respiratory problems.

"The Sari Asih doctor sent my daughter to Persahabatan Hospital but she could no longer hang on."

Hani Hariyanto said that people from the village had recently acknowledged that sudden poultry deaths had occurred in the past, long before the girl fell ill, however.

He said officials had been sent to carry out health education in the village. "Too bad, the villagers did not inform us earlier."

The agency has taken blood samples from the parents and the girl's older brother, according to the health official.

The brother has flu symptoms and has been given Tamiflu, considered the most effective treatment for bird flu in humans.

The central government declared Tangerang a bird flu risk zone following the deaths of Iwan Siswara, an official at the Supreme Audit Agency, and his two young daughters from bird flu early in July 2005.

The regency has recorded six bird flu deaths since January.

A draft version of a Banten province bylaw that would have banned keeping backyard poultry was rejected by the Banten council in January.

In Lampung Post an update on Udin, suspect bird flu patient in Lampung Hospital.

toggletext out here, if someone can translate?

http://www.lampungpost.com/cetak/berita.php?id=2007102601563321

Fast reading seems to indicate local tests were not clear, doctors think may be it is a combination of Typhoid and Pneumonia or "inflammation of the lungs".

Testresults from Jakarta still pending?
