Re: Korea-Suspected Human AI case

Soldier may have first human case of bird flu here

April 22, 2008

A soldier who helped slaughter poultry infected with avian influenza might have the first human case of the disease in Korea, the Health Ministry said yesterday.

&#161;&#176;The soldier slaughtered poultry on Friday and Saturday, and his symptoms meet the criteria of a suspected avian influenza patient under the World Health Organization manual,&#161;&#177; the ministry said in a release. &#161;&#176;His condition, however, is close to that of a bacterial pneumonia patient, so we are closely monitoring him.&#161;&#177;

The ministry quoted the Center for Disease Control and Prevention as saying a soldier had respiratory complications after killing infected chickens and ducks last week.

The soldier is being treated and monitored in a quarantine ward. The ministry said tests are being conducted and it will take one to three weeks for a final confirmation.

Since April 1, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry has confirmed dozens of outbreaks of the highly contagious strain of the virus called H5N1, which is capable of infecting humans. Most outbreaks have been in South and North Jeolla.

The first H5N1 outbreak occurred in Korea in 2003, but there has never been a confirmed human case here. The virus has killed 207 people in 12 other countries since November 2007, according to World Health Organization data.

The release said the soldier&#161;&#175;s condition improved after he received antibiotics and that everyone who had contact with him were also given medicine and will be monitored for 10 days. The ministry issued the statement following a story in yesterday&#161;&#175;s editions of the Seoul Shinmun, a daily newspaper, which reported that a 22-year-old corporal in Sunchang, North Jeolla, may have gotten avian influenza.

Quoting a government report, the newspaper identified the corporal only by his family name, Cho.

After returning to his base after the culling, Cho developed a high fever starting on Sunday and was transported to the Army Hospital in Seongnam, the report said.

&#161;&#176;Cho&#161;&#175;s temperature went up to 39.8 degrees Celsius [103.6 F] and he fell unconscious, so we suspected it was an avian influenza infection,&#161;&#177; Capt. Wi Seong-hyeon of Cho&#161;&#175;s unit told the newspaper. &#161;&#176;We transported him to the army hospital and reported the case to the Sunchang health authorities.&#161;&#177;
The ministry later denied that the soldier in question became unconscious.

Re: Korea-Suspected Human AI case

Not sure how to read the latest report, it says:

21 days, according to the Health and Welfare Center for Disease Control and gajokbu November 18 and 19 infected birds Chonbuk Sunchang AI's commitment, which was at the scene of the slaughter operation to dispose of 203 Brigade commando unit belonging to Corporal Jo (22), returned after 20 showed symptoms of fever Seongnam Army also received hospital treatment yisongdwae isolation.

Should I read it: April 18 and 19? "After 20" means after april 20 ?

I thought the stories indicate one has been tested, but the high number of others with symptoms have led to the suspicion that bacterial pneumonia may be the diagnosis (although its not clear that there are any test results to distiguish the possibilities). Upon re-reading the 20 could be refering to the date (showed symptoms on Sunday, the 20th).

The ministry said it would take about one to three weeks to confirm if the soldier, said to be 22-years old by local media, had been infected with the H5N1 strain of bird flu.
"The soldier's symptoms are consistent with that of suspected AI (avian influenza) patients, according to World Health Organisation standards, but the clinical symptoms also resemble bacterial pneumonia so we are on a close watch," the ministry said in a statement.
The soldier, who is being treated in a quarantine ward, had a high fever and respiratory problems. He has shown signs of improvement after being treated with antibiotics, it said.
On Monday, South Korea's farm ministry said it planned to cull a record 5.3 million birds as it announced its 17th case of bird flu in three weeks, in what has become the country's fastest and biggest outbreak of avian influenza.
No human deaths from the disease have been reported so far from the country.
Some 240 human deaths have been reported globally from the H5N1 strain and 381 confirmed cases of infection since 2003, according to World Health Organisation data. (Reporting by Jon Herskovitz and Lee Jiyeon; Editing by Keiron Henderson) http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/SEO333941.htm
