    Bocah Diduga Flu Burung

    Dirawat Intensif di Ruang Isolasi RSUD Soedarso


    PONTIANAK--Seorang bocah berumur empat tahun yang tinggal di Kecamatan Pontianak Utara diduga terinfeksi flu burung. Saat ini pasien diisolasi di RSUD dr Soedarso Pontianak.Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Kota Pontianak Multi Juto Bhatarendo yang sedang berada di Bandung mengaku sudah mendapatkan informasi tentang pasien yang diduga flu burung tersebut. “Satu pasien diisolasi. Swab tenggorokan sudah diambil dan dikirim ke Litbangkes. Penyelidikan epidemiologis sudah dilakukan, tidak ada kasus serupa.

    Positifnya tunggu hasil Litbangkes. Karena belum pasti, tunggu hasilnya secara lengkap,” ujar Multi, Selasa (22/6) siang.Pihak RSUD dr Soedarso tak membantah adanya dugaan pasien diduga terinfeksi flu burung. ”Hari ini (Selasa, red) salah seorang dokter anak memberitahukan bahwa terdapat salah seorang pasiennya yang berumur 4,5 tahun diduga suspect flu burung. Oleh sebab itu kita langsung melakukan antisipasi dengan memasukkan pasien itu ke ruang isolasi siang tadi,” ungkap Tita Selati Sundari, Kabid Pelayanan RSUD Soedarso kepada Pontianak Post, kemarin. Selain gejala, dugaan tersebut disebabkan karena lokasi tempat tinggal pasien di Pontianak Utara, merupakan lokasi dimana banyak terdapat ayam mati mendadak.

    Dengan ditemukannya pasien diduga flu burung tersebut, pihak Soedarso berkoordinasi dengan Dinas Kesehatan Kota dan Provinsi, serta tim penanggulangan flu burung untuk penanganan berikutnya. Selain ditempatkan di ruang isolasi, pasien juga telah diambil sampel untuk mengidentifikasi kuman dari sampel swab tenggorokan pasien. ”Sampel tersebut dibawa ke Jakarta untuk didapatkan hasil yang sebenarnya. Apakah memang positif menderita flu burung atau tidak. Sekitar tiga hari berikutnya kita akan mendapatkan jawaban,” ungkap Tita.Sebelumnya, Tita menjelaskan, pihak RSUD Soedarso telah mempersiapkan segala sesuatunya untuk mengantisipasi pasien flu burung. Hal tersebut dilakukan semenjak diberitakannya ayam mati mendadak.

    Untuk ruangan isolasi, yang dipersiapkan merupakan ruanganan khusus untuk penyakit menular berbahaya. Bangsal atau ruang khusus bagi pasien yang diduga flu burung ini menggunakan ruang isolasi pasien flu babi yang sebelumnya telah ada. Dengan jumlah tempat tidur sebanyak tujuh buah untuk jumlah pasien normal. Dalam mengantisipasi bertambahnya pasien, pihak rumah sakit juga mempersiapkan cadangan sebanyak empat tempat tidur dan tiga pelbet.

    Sedangkan tim penanggulangan yang telah terbentuk, Tita menjelaskan, terdiri dari tim dokter dan perawat. Di dalam tim dokter sendiri terdapat enam dokter, diantaranya dokter Anastesi, Patologi Klinis, penyakit dalam, anak, dan dokter umum. Sedangkan untuk tim perawat terdiri dari 21 perawat, dengan satu ketua dan koordinator.”Semuanya telah dibentuk dan diatur semenjak diduga adanya flu burung di Kalbar beberapa waktu lalu. Kita selalu waspada dan memantau setiap pasien yang masuk. Apabila mengalami gejala yang diduga flu burung, maka akan kita langsung lakukan tindakan,” pungkas Tita.Kadis Kesehatan Kota Pontianak Multi Juto Bhatarendo menjelaskan pihaknya melalui puskesmas di setiap wilayah terus berkoordinasi dengan masyarakat. Bahkan, saat ini jika ada ayam mati mendadak warga langsung melapor ke puskesmas setempat. Kemudian, tim Dinkes berkoordinasi dengan instansi terkait lainnya langsung turun ke lokasi.

    Upaya lainnya adalah jemput bola. Artinya petugas melalukan surveilans epidemiologi dengan mencari informasi dan pendataan mulai dari kecenderungan diagnosa suatu penyakit, penyuluhan, hingga wabah yang ada. Terkait dugaan flu burung, dokter dan petugas puskesmas lainnya terus melakukan sosialisasi tentang kewaspadaan dini terhadap penyakit tersebut. Setiap puskesmas juga disiapkan Tamiflu.“Yang paling penting adalah merujuk. Saat ini rujukan suspect flu burung adalah RSUD Sudarso. Sudah tepat jika ada pasien yang dicuriagi dibawa ke sana,” kata Multi.Ia mengimbau masyarakat untuk menjaga kesehatan diri dan lingkungannya. Jika ada ayam yang mati mendadak, gunakan masker dan sarung tangan untuk memegangnya. “Bisa juga berjemur seperempat jam yakni dari pukul 08.00 sampai 09.00. Virus akan mati dengan sinar matahari,” ujarnya.

            Viruses that become frightening specter that 'walked' a four-year-old Deborah Deby, residents Siantan Street Gang swasembada I Situt Mahmud North Pontianak.
            Deby nursed reinforce the issue of bird flu that could stir the City of Pontianak some time past.
            Party Soedarso Hospital, said Deby had high fever viruses such as avian flu. It reinforced the fact that Deby has a history of having contact with dead birds. Because Deby had direct contact with the disease pathogenik.
            This is justified Ismail (30) father of Deby who keep poultry types of chicken daily. "About ten days ago my 20 dead chickens, dead chickens last I found beneath the toilet, I at that time the grave," said Ismail met in hospitals Soedarso, Wednesday (23 / 6).
            [b] Ismail explains, the distance between poultry deaths and a high fever suffered by her youngest daughter was about a week. However, Ismail did not want to speculate, he quickly took steps to bring their children to Soedarso.
            "Last Monday I immediately brought here, a child specialist installation space. Tuesday around 9:00 pm my son was treated in the isolation room / pig, "added Ismail was accompanied by his wife Delina Elia (37).
            Ida Royani as coordinator of the nursing team Soedarso Deby declared conditions starting from a four-day run, is relatively normal.
            "It's been a little better than yesterday, blood tension has also been nornal, 36 degrees on Tuesday, tensinya reached 39.5 degrees. Water clear urine, flu and mild cough only, no longer dizzy. It's a little healthier, "said Ida, doctors who treat Deby.
            Smentara it, Kabid Soedarso Hospital services, Drg. Hj. Tita Selati Sundari when met in his office said he still can not be sure whether the H5N1 virus positive Deby. "We still do not know whether these patients had positive or not, because we are still waiting for test results on blood samples Balitbang MOH Jakarta," Tita light in his office, Wednesday (23 / 6).
            To find out how long the blood test sample processing Balitbang Deby, Tita predicted Friday (25 / 6) This result can already be known. "The possibility of three days, probably Friday," said Tita.
            Tita added that the party itself has been far in preparing for medical efforts in overcoming the impact of bird flu outbreaks with cooked. "Prior to the fanfare in the paper about a week earlier we had formed a special team to handle this, we also make a special schedule of nurses office, preparing the room isolation rooms with seven beds," said Tita.
            Meanwhile Chief Medical Officer (Health) Pontianak, Multi Juto Batarendro stating that what was done by Ismail is a very appropriate action to bring their children to Soedarso soon. Because Soedarso Hospital is the only hospital designated the Ministry of Health to handle bird flu cases.
            "Reference is made is right, because Soedarso specifically designated in the handling of H5N1 (bird flu) and H1N1 (swine flu)," Multi said.
            She explains, with the discovery of cases of Deby's, City Health Office to do more vigorous preventive measures, although previously said Multi efforts have been made, such as socialization to the community, counseling efforts and 40 doctors, health centers etc..

For example, such as neighbors, clinics, health environment, in addition to counseling who also frequent. Provide logistics to the health center, Tami flu drug administration. We have appropriate protection protab, "Ashrafi said.
            However, Multi already believed that Deby is not the case with bird flu, although the test results became known only later. "I'm sure it's not bird flu, because usually when someone is infected with bird flu, sometimes the victim can not survive long (died). And hopefully it's not bird flu, "said Multi.
            Another reason that strengthens the belief Multi, weather conditions and Udaya very transition like this now, so the virus would be more easily attacked. In addition, further analysis that the average flu viruses often live in winter as November, September and December.
            "The winter as in China, widely spread (virus). The virus would not survive in hot weather. Therefore I suggest (as therapy) in order to bask 10-15 minutes at 8 am to 9 am each day. In addition to the expected B vitamins, it also helps to spread the flu virus, "explained Multi while urge society to always implement healthy lifestyles in their own environment.
