Bird flu kills second Vietnamese this year-report

HANOI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Bird flu has killed a 40-year-old Vietnamese man who might have been infected after eating sick chickens, state-run media said on Thursday.

His death is the second in Vietnam from avian influenza this year.

The man died in a Hanoi hospital on Wednesday four days after being treated for lung and kidney failure, the Liberation Saigon newspaper quoted the hospital's deputy director, Nguyen Hong Ha, as saying.

The Health Ministry reported that tests confirmed the man from the northern province of Hai Duong, 50 km (31 miles) southeast of Hanoi, had the H5N1 virus.

It brought to 49 the country's toll from bird flu.

Health officials have been monitoring the man's relatives since last week after he and his family ate two chickens that had died from unknown causes. Dead chickens have also been reported in the neighbourhood.

Last month, bird flu killed a 32-year-old man from an ethnic minority group in the northern province of Tuyen Quang.

H5N1 remains mainly a virus of birds, but experts fear it could mutate into a form easily transmitted from person to person and sweep the world, possibly killing millions.

Not including the latest death, the H5N1 virus has killed 226 people among the 360 known cases. Most of the deaths are in Indonesia, followed by Vietnam, World Health Organization figures show. (Reporting by Ho Binh Minh; Editing by David Fogarty)

<TABLE borderColor=#cccccc cellSpacing=5 borderColorDark=#cccccc cellPadding=3 width=600 align=center borderColorLight=#cccccc border=1><TBODY><TR><TD>HANOI : Bird flu killed a Vietnamese man this week, the country's second victim of the H5N1 strain in 2008, raising the national death toll from the virus to 49, health officials said Thursday.

The 40-year-old man died of pneumonia and kidney failure Wednesday at the National Contagious and Tropical Diseases Hospital in Hanoi, said deputy director Nguyen Hong Ha.

"The man from Hai Duong province died of H5N1 type-A influenza," said Nguyen Huy Nga, head of the Preventive Medicine Department at the Ministry of Health. "This is 103rd case of bird flu and the 49th death from it in Vietnam."

The man had been treated at home and in a provincial hospital after having handled chicken, said Nga, adding that people who were in close contact with him were now also being tested for bird flu and given the drug Tamiflu.

Northern Vietnam has been in the grip of a month-long cold snap that has aided the spread of respiratory diseases because immune systems are weakened and people spend more time indoors together, experts warn.

Last week's traditional Tet lunar New Year, the country's biggest festival, was seen as a particularly high-risk period for the spread of the virus because the movement of poultry products, and of people, rises sharply.

Bird flu outbreaks among poultry have hit in recent weeks in the northern province of Thai Nguyen and in central Quang Binh, authorities have said.

On January 18 bird flu killed a 32-year-old man from Tuyen Quang province northwest of Hanoi. He had suffered severe pneumonia symptoms after reportedly preparing and eating poultry he found dead near his house.

The virus is mainly an animal disease, but scientists fear it could mutate to easily jump from human to human, sparking a deadly global pandemic.

The World Health Organisation has so far confirmed 360 human cases of H5N1 bird flu worldwide, of whom 226 have died, not including the latest Vietnam fatality, according to WHO figures published online. - AFP/ch

HANOI, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- A man from Vietnam's northern Ninh Binh province has been tested positive to bird flu virus strain H5N1, raising the total number of bird flu patients in the country since December 2003 to 104, Central Vietnam Television reported Thursday.

The 27-year-old man named Hoang Van Doan, admitted to the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi capital on Feb. 12, currently needs respirator assistance. He slaughtered chickens for meal on Feb. 5.
Vietnam's Health Ministry confirmed a 40-year-old man from northern Hai Duong province, who died on Tuesday after four days of treatment in the capital city, was infected with H5N1. The man slaughtered two dead chickens for meal before exhibiting bird flu symptoms early this month. He was hospitalized on Feb. 8 when his lung and kidneys were damaged.
Late last month the ministry confirmed that a 32-year-old man named Tran Van Dong from northern Tuyen Quang province died from bird flu on Jan. 18. He slaughtered and ate dead fowls raised by his family for meal.
In late December 2007, after detecting no human cases of bird flu infections for nearly four months, the ministry confirmed that a four-year-old boy from northern Son La province died from bird flu on Dec. 16, 2007.
To date, Vietnam has confirmed a total of 104 human cases of bird flu infections, including 49 fatalities, since the disease started to hit the country in December 2003. Vietnam currently has two localities having poultry being hit by bird flu: northern Thai Nguyen and central Quang Binh province, according to the Department of Animal Health under the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Bird flu outbreaks in Vietnam have killed and led to the forced culling of dozens of millions of fowls in the country, the department said.

HANOI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Bird flu has killed a 40-year-old Vietnamese man and infected another after both came in contact with infected chickens, state media said on Thursday.
The man died in a Hanoi hospital on Wednesday four days after being treated for lung and kidney failure, the Liberation Saigon newspaper quoted the hospital's deputy director, Nguyen Hong Ha, as saying.
The Health Ministry said tests confirmed the man from the northern province of Hai Duong, 50 km (31 miles) southeast of Hanoi, had the H5N1 strain of the virus.
It was Vietnam's second death from avian influenza this year and brought the country's toll from bird flu to 49.
Health officials have been monitoring the man's relatives since last week after he and his family ate two chickens that had died from unknown causes. Dead chickens have also been reported in the neighbourhood.
Doctors also confirmed another 27-year-old man had been infected by the H5N1 virus and was now in critical condition, state-run Vietnam Television said in its evening news bulletin.
The Health Ministry said the man from the northern province of Ninh Binh slaughtered two sick chickens on Jan. 31 and fell ill two days later with pneumonia symptoms. He was taken to Bach Mai hospital in Hanoi on Tuesday.
The patient, Vietnam's third human bird flu case this year, was now on a respirator, the television footage showed. Last month, bird flu killed a 32-year-old man in the northern province of Tuyen Quang.

The 40-year-old man whose name is withheld was the 49th person to die of the virus in Viet Nam since bird flu began raging across Asia in late 2003. H5N1 killed a 32-year-old man in northern Tuyen Quang province in January.
This latest victim had been admitted to the National Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Ha Noi last Friday with serious pneumonia and multiple-organ failure.
Doctor Nguyen Hong Ha, deputy director of the Institute said this patient had contracted the virus 6 days prior to being hospitalized.
Dong Van Chuc, director of the Department of Animal Health in Hai Duong, about 60 kilometers southeast of Ha Noi, said nine of the man's 12 fighting cocks had died since late January.
Epidemiological investigations revealed chickens had perished around his house and the victim had reportedly plucked two dead chickens and cooked them for consumption.
Chuc said the man's wife cooked the dead chickens and shared them with a relative, then cremated the three sick birds.
No other members of the man's family have fallen ill, but health authorities were testing them and close neighbors for the virus, Chuc added.
Local authorities have disinfected the vicinity and 200 wells with Chloramines B.
Bird flu still remains hard for people to catch, but health experts worry the virus could mutate into a form that passes easily among humans, sparking a pandemic. So far, most human cases have been linked to physical contact with infected birds.
The World Health Organization earlier reported at least 226 people have died worldwide from the virus.
Meanwhile, Hai Duong, Quang Binh, Thai Nguyen, Tra Vinh and Tuyen Quang provinces in Viet Nam have witnessed the recurrence of bird flu since late December.

According to deputy head of the National Animal Health Department Dau Ngoc Hao on Wednesday, bird flu had been detected in a flock of 700 ducks in the northern Thai Nguyen province.
In addition, over 100 chickens and nearly 2,000 ducks belonging to two families in Tra Xuan and Binh Hoa communes in the central Quang Ngai province have died recently from unknown causes.
Tests are being taken to determine the cause, reported Vo Thanh Tan, head of the province?s Animal Health Department, on Wednesday.

Welcome to the Earth Times. Environmental news and blogs with eco-friendly store.

Hanoi - A man suffering from bird flu died Friday morning, the second death in two days and the third since the beginning of the year, a Vietnamese official said. The 27-year-old man had been admitted to a hospital in Ninh Binh province, 120 kilometers south of Hanoi, on Monday, and transferred to Hanoi the following day, according to Dinh Quoc Su, head of Ninh Binh's Animal Health Department. The Ministry of Health announced late Thursday that the man had tested positive for the H5N1 avian flu virus. Su said Doan and his family had eaten chicken bought at a local market during Tet, the Vietnamese lunar New Year's festival, which began on February 7. He said local authorities had disinfected Doan's neighborhood and were trying to find out exactly where he had bought the chicken. "Neither Doan's wife nor his 4-year-old son have shown any bird flu-like symptoms, but doctors are monitoring them," Su said. Bird flu killed a 41-year-old man from northern Hai Duong province on Wednesday and a 32-year-old man from northern Tuyen Quang province in January. The latest death has raised the overall toll from H5N1 in Vietnam to 50 since bird flu first appeared in the country in 2003. "The risk that bird flu will spread among poultry, and also to humans, is very high now," Nguyen Huy Nga, head of Vietnam's Preventive Medicine Department, said Thursday. "The weather is cold and a large number of poultry have been transported and slaughtered since Tet.

Second H5N1 Confirmed Case in Northern Vietnam This Week

Recombinomics Commentary 15:01
February 14, 2008

The 27-year-old man named Hoang Van Doan, admitted to the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi capital on Feb. 12, currently needs respirator assistance. He slaughtered chickens for meal on Feb. 5.

Vietnam's Health Ministry confirmed a 40-year-old man from northern Hai Duong province, who died on Tuesday after four days of treatment in the capital city, was infected with H5N1. The man slaughtered two dead chickens for meal before exhibiting bird flu symptoms early this month. He was hospitalized on Feb. 8 when his lung and kidneys were damaged.

The above comments describe the second confirmed H5N1 case this week from northern Vietnam. Both patients had increased risk of H5N1 infections earlier this month. However, the independent infections of the two patients signal a more efficient transmission of H5N1 to humans in northern Vietnam.

It is likely that both victims have been infected by the Fujian strain (clade 2.3) of H5N1. The recent prior cases beginning in late December, 2007 have been fatal and coincide with wild birds deaths in Hong Kong, which are also likely linked to the Fujian strain of H5N1.

Sequence data from the Hong Kong and northern Vietnam isolates would be useful.
