He was infected with the H5 strain, it said, but did not develop symptoms because the virus??s presence was weak.
Center officials said Wednesday in a statement that the soldier, identified only by the last name Cho, had suffered from bacterial pneumonia, not avian influenza, known as bird flu.
On April 21, the soldier was coughing and had a high fever after participating in the culling of birds, leading to his hospitalization.
Inspectors at the center said yesterday that even though initial examinations detected a small amount of the H5 virus in the patient??s body, including the HA gene that indicates the presence of the virus, they could not find any indicators of the highly contagious H5N1 strain ? the HA and NA genes ? after more detailed tests. H5N1 is one of four strains of the virus that affects humans.
??We think that the H5 virus in the patient??s body was unstable,?? said Lee Joo-yeon, an inspector at the center. ??It was too weak to prompt the symptoms of bird flu. Also, he did not have the N1 strain of the virus.??
Inspectors participating in the tests said that human cases of avian influenza are confirmed when the H5 virus, including the HA gene, and the N1 strain, including the NA gene, are all detected, under the guidelines of the World Health Organization.
??We had to do detailed tests because the soldier tested positive for the H5 virus on the initial test,?? Lee said. ??To verify whether or not the virus was H5N1, we needed several tests and a few weeks.??
Meanwhile, the soldier has fully recovered and will soon return to his military unit. He is still in the Armed Forces Capital Hospital in Bundang District, Seongnam, just south of Seoul.
??He will be given permission to leave the hospital by his physician,?? said a hospital official who declined to be named. ??Even though his condition has already gone back to normal, we had to wait for the final result from the national center.??
According to the World Health Organization, more than 230 people in the world have been killed by the H5N1 strain of bird flu since late 2003. There have been no confirmed human cases of H5N1 in Korea.

One day after the highly virulent H5N1 strain of avian influenza, known to pass from infected poultry to humans, was found in two dead pheasants from a nature preserve in the Gwangjin district of Seoul, concerns were growing as some residents in the affected area visited hospitals with a high fever and headache. As citizen worries continue to spread, the government has been accused of coping too slowly with the poultry epidemic, which was first discovered in the southwestern region of the country on April 1.

At a public health clinic set up to provide consultations on avian influenza in Seoul??s Gwangjin district, where the latest case avian influenza was discovered, 19 people made telephone calls and nine made visits to inquire about getting tested for infection as of 3:00 p.m. on May 7.

A 50-year-old female resident, who was only identified by the surname Lee, said, ??I??m angry with the district office because it dealt too slowly with the case, even though suspected cases were found several days ago. My neighbors are reluctant to go out because they are worried,?? Lee said.


On May 6, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decontaminated and blocked off a 500-meter radius around the affected area after the latest outbreak of avian influenza was confirmed as the dangerous H5N1 strain. However, the central government requires officials to block the affected area with a 10-kilometer radius. ??If we (block the area) in line with the measures, we would be blocking all nearby motorways,?? a city official said. ??There are no measures that fit the reality of each region,?? the city official said. Though the poultry epidemic has spread for more than a month nationwide, the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and local governments have failed to control the outbreak of avian influenza. The ministry, which has put its focus on calming public anxiety over mad cow disease in the wake of a planned full resumption of U.S. beef imports, has only released press releases on the details of its inspections for avian influenza and related countermeasures. There are also some significant holes in the government??s policy on traditional poultry markets. Since May 1, the ministry has banned the traditional markets from selling chickens, ducks and other poultry, but the measure was late in coming because, by then, most of the animals had already been sold to other cities and provinces. The preventive measure came nearly 20 days after middlemen dealing in these kinds of poultry were discovered to have been one of the major causes for the epidemic??s rapid spread to other parts of the country. http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/engli...al/286433.html

Re: South Korea: Suspected H5N1 Human Cases in Seoul

Government vows to step up bird flu fight Friday, May 9, 2008 The government will announce a comprehensive scheme today to cope with the bird flu that has spread across the nation since its first outbreak last month.

After being initially discovered in the southwestern Jeolla region, the virus spread to the southeastern Gyeongsang region and Gyeonggi Province, finally hitting Seoul last week. The flu continued to make its way to Gangwon Province and other parts of Gyeonggi Province yesterday.
The government and the ruling Grand National Party plan to hold an emergency meeting this afternoon, a move that comes after state health authorities issued urgent warnings to all hospitals across Seoul on Wednesday.
"The fact that bird flu was discovered at the nature learning center in Seoul highlights the seriousness of the problem," said Cho Yoon-sun, the spokeswoman for the ruling Grand National Party. "There's a great possibility that public health may have been affected by the incident since tens of thousands of citizens visited the nearby park located in the capital on May 5, Children's Day."

Over half a million people visited the nearby Children's Grand Park on Children's Day, following the deaths of two pheasants and five other birds, which were confirmed to have bird flu, in Gwangjin, eastern Seoul. This is the first time the virus has hit the capital.
The National Veternary Research and Quarantine Service said another case of highly pathogenic avian influenza - which could lead to disease in people - was additionally discovered from some 58 dead ducks and chickens in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.
As a follow-up measure, the regional government held blood tests and medical examinations, as well as administering antiviral drug Tamiflu to those most vulnerable to the virus, such as residents living in farming areas and health officials in charge of decontamination, its officials said. A public health center in the region was also designated as an avian influenza emergency care center to effectively deal with the bird flu virus.
In Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, about 14,000 ducks were slaughtered yesterday, after a test showed that the ducks were most likely infected with avian influenza. However, the outcome of a detailed examination to determine whether it is highly contagious avian influenza, will be revealed this morning. So far, a total of 34 cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have been confirmed nationwide, excluding the case in Chuncheon, Gyeonggi Province, according to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. A final test result must show that the birds are positively infected with the virus to become a confirmed infection case. http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/

South Korea says soldier not infected with bird flu
09 May 2008 01:14:33 GMT
Source: Reuters

SEOUL, May 9 (Reuters) -

A South Korean soldier tested for bird flu did not contract the deadly virus and will be released from hospital, according to a statement obtained on Friday.

"The soldier, who was quarantined after showing symptoms of bird flu, has tested negative. We have determined his condition was caused by bacterial pneumonia," the Korea Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said in a news release.

The soldier, 21, who was hospitalised last month, had been taking part in the culling of more than 5 million birds as South Korea works to contain its worst outbreak of avian influenza.

Despite government efforts, the H5N1 strain of bird flu has spread to most parts of the country including Seoul, leading many to steer clear of zoos and the pigeon flocks that roam the capital.

Earlier this week, North Korea said it was stepping up measures to prevent the outbreak from being carried over its borders by migratory flocks.

The last known bird flu outbreak in impoverished North Korea was in 2005.

S. Korea to double Tamiflu stockpile over bird flu fears

SEOUL - SOUTH Korea will double its stockpiles of antiviral flu medicine Tamiflu as avian flu has spread through most the country, health officials said on Saturday.
South Korea has not recorded any human cases, however the deadly H5N1 strain was detected in an aviary in Seoul this week, the first time bird flu has been found in the capital.

The state-run Korea Center for Disease and Control said that it would secure Tamiflu reserve for 2.5 million treatment courses by the end of this year, up from the current reserve set for 1.24 million.

The decision came after South Korean President Lee Myung Bak on Saturday told his cabinet to increase stockpiles of anti-viral drugs to ease public fears about bird flu.

As of Friday, more than 6.8 million chickens and ducks had been slaughtered since the latest bird flu outbreak was reported on April 1. The previous outbreak was between November 2006 and March last year. -- AFP

S. Korea to raise Tamiflu reserves amid bird flu scare

SEOUL, May 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korea plans to increase its emergency reserves of the avian influenza drug Tamiflu to cope with humans possibly contracting the deadly virus amid the country's worst bird flu outbreak, health officials said Saturday.

South Korea has culled more than 6.8 million birds since the latest bird flu outbreak started on April 1, causing 53.2 billion (US$50.8 million) in estimated damages.
Even though no human deaths have been reported in South Korea, some 240 people have reportedly died from the deadly H5N1 strain around the world.

The state-run Korea Center for Disease and Control said that it decided to increase its Tamiflu reserve for up to 2.5 million people, or 5 percent of the country's population, from the current reserve set for 1.24 million by the end of the year.

The drug is manufactured by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche Holding AG.

The government is also mulling the creation of a separate pre-pandemic vaccine reserve for up to 40,000 people, an official at the agency said.

"We are considering, for now, a small stockpile due to price concerns, as the vaccines are mostly valid for a year," the official said.

Earlier in the day, President Lee Myung-bak instructed his Cabinet to take measures to prevent human bird flu infection and to secure a sufficient amount of antiviral flu drug in preparation for a nationwide spread of avian influenza.

South Korrea is clearly making it up as they go along. There is NO WHO requirement for H5N1 isolation. H5 confirmation by two labs is a confirmed case. Many WHO confirmed human cases did NOT yield H5N1 virus.
