For generations, people have lived in Roleang village in Prey Veng province, more than 60 kilometers from the Prek Ta Mak bridge in Khsach Kandal district, Kandal province. Never before has there been a case of bird flu that health experts call H5N1. But in late February, an outbreak broke out in the village, which is rich in farmers, and caused the girls to die. A smart young man lost his life in a short time.
With a sad face, Kin Narin, the mother of 11-year-old Bien Narong, who died of the flu The bird described her daughter's death as "too early and almost unbelievable".

I went to the doctor and he wanted to go to this exam, he was afraid the teacher would not let him go to the exam, so he did not enter the class. Seventh. I said, child, the teacher understands too much when you are sick, so they do not mind, you go to the exam, go to the doctor first, remember When your child comes back to the exam, he refuses to cry. ”
Ms. Kin Narin described that just a few days later, she took medicine at home and was treated at a referral hospital in Prek Sandek village in Sithor district. In the middle of her daughter's condition, she was still not feeling well and was later sent by the medical staff to the National Children's Hospital in Phnom Penh, where the girl He died on February 22.
She confirmed that she did not know in advance the symptoms of bird flu infection. However, she said that her daughter was hot and cold and was taken to a hospital in Prek Sandek Ti village, where doctors said the symptoms were not serious. Seriously.
She said: "If you know that your child is sick, you also rush to call people to help you when you do not know, just Hot, it is not normal hot, I used to say that my child has a fever, not ever, fever, cold, buy medicine to buy Well, it's fine, this message to inject serum and my child does not recover.
According to a statement issued by the Minister of Health on February 23, a girl in Roleang village who was diagnosed with bird flu became ill on February 16, 2023 with symptoms of fever (39 ° C) as well as cough and sore throat after receiving treatment in Min village After 3 days of relief, the girl began to feel tired and was sent to the National Children's Hospital in Phnom Penh on February 21, 2023
In Roleang village, Kin Narin and her husband, 49-year-old Bien Vorn, are farmers and have four children. The youngest girl. Their house is near the lake, which receives water from the Mekong River.
Under the old Khmer house built by Kin Narin, there is an unorganized chicken farm. One.
She said her family raised chickens as a family and many chickens were collected for sale during the Chinese New Year. There are only two hens left. She said officials took the two hens to test for the virus after her daughter was presumed infected. Her family has been raising chickens for many years to eat at home and sell at the market. To support the family.
She said that before her daughter became infected and died of bird flu, her children did not touch the chickens. Who feeds in the house.
"He never plays with chickens, he knows how to wash dishes, he knows how to cook, he knows how to wash his own clothes, he knows how to cook," she said. Go to the pagoda, okay? ”

This is according to the officials at the commune hall and the people who were interviewed by VOA Khmer.
The case of Bean Narong flu infection is the first case after this disease, there are no new cases in Cambodia during Nine years ago.
Following the discovery of the case, public health experts found that the girl's father was also infected with the H5N1 bird flu. Health experts confirmed that he contracted the disease on February 23. His daughter died of H5N1 bird flu on Feb. 22, a day after she was diagnosed with the H5N1 virus. There are serious effects on the respiratory tract, according to the World Health Organization.
Bien Vorn was treated at the District Referral Hospital after he was diagnosed with bird flu and left the hospital. Doctors on February 28 after his third negative result. This is according to the people in Roleang village and the announcement of the Department of Combating Infectious Diseases.
However, in Roleang village on 28 February, Prey Veng provincial health workers continued to take samples of students in the village. Then take the test. Health workers present in the village said that continuing to monitor the bird flu situation in the village will Use for 14 days.
A statement from the Department of Communicable Diseases on March 2, posted on Facebook, explained that there were no cases of H5N1 infection. More to be found. And so far no evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found. The statement said that based on the investigation of the two cases found in Roleang village, there was a conflict with Birds get sick and die the same way, and their symptoms start the same day.
In a separate statement, the Department of Infectious Diseases said that the H5N1 bird flu virus had erupted in Roleang village, Romlech commune. Sithor Kandal is a virus that has been studied among domestic and wild birds in Cambodia during recent years. The H5N1 bird flu virus, dubbed (clade 2.3.2.1c), differs from the H5N1 bird flu virus in other parts of the world. This is according to the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Cambodia.
Human-to-human transmission of bird flu was first reported in Cambodia in 2014. According to the World Health Organization, based on the available evidence so far, bird flu virus is not easily transmitted to humans. No, and that person-to-person transmission is not uncommon.
However, the World Health Organization warns that because the virus continues to be found in birds, the virus could spread from person to person. Animals on humans can be expected to continue to occur.
According to the Ministry of Health, there are no new cases in this village. The Ministry also confirmed
Similarly, Ket Hum, another villager in Rolaing village, told VOA Khmer that she had never received any news or coverage from Local authorities say there are no symptoms of bird flu. A neighbor of Bien Narong's family, she was shocked when the friendly girl died. The bird flu.
"I can only see the ugly face, to be honest, the innocent child is very good," she said. One of them is the most beautiful, the most beautiful. I'm eating, at 6 or 7 o'clock, it comes from school, come and ask me every day, my tears just in time Eat, I remember. My house is still on the road, it came to my house, ”he said.

Centers for Disease Control provides update on H5N1 Bird Flu in Cambodia
19 mins ago - BREAKING NEWS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases have provided updated results of a preliminary assessment of the H5N1 viruses identified in two human infections detected in Cambodia in 2023 based on their genetic sequences and gives an update on the epidemiological investigation.
On February 26, 2023, the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, in collaboration with the Cambodian Ministry of Health, shared the full genetic sequence of the H5N1 virus recovered from the patient who died in that country on February 22, 2023.
The genetic sequence of the second case was later also shared by the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge. CDC has conducted a preliminary analysis of the genetic sequences of these H5N1 bird flu viruses.
They are H5N1 viruses from clade 2.3.2.1c, which are different from the H5N1 viruses now spreading in U.S. wild birds and poultry, which are from clade 2.3.4.4b. These viruses are similar to past 2.3.2.1c viruses detected in that geographic area over recent years...Leave a comment:

Health Ministry Spokesman Dismisses Rumors That H5N1 Bird Flu Case In Cambodia Is Human-To-Human Transmission
Release DateMarch 02, 2023
AKP Phnom Penh, March 03, 2023 -
On the night of March 2, 2023, Her Excellency Dr. O Vandin, Secretary of State and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Cambodia, announced the complete rejection of the release of false and inaccurate information both domestically and abroad on the case. The H5N1 bird flu virus, which was recently detected in Prey Veng province, is a case of human-to-human transmission.
She added that as of March 2, 2023, the Ministry of Health had found only two cases of H5N1 bird flu in Roleang village, Romlech commune, Sithor Kandal district, Prey Veng province. An 11-year-old girl died and her father recovered and was released from the district hospital.
The two positive cases of the H5N1 bird flu virus were concluded to be "transmission of the H5N1 bird flu virus from birds to humans, not from humans to humans," she said. Accurate or false and fabricated information spread by the media related to this case.
A total of 51 samples (from 20 closely related individuals and 31 individuals with flu-like symptoms) were collected for analysis, and all results were negative for the H5N1 virus. The Ministry of Health's research team is still present in Prey Veng province to investigate further cases of H5N1 bird flu and will continue to collect samples for analysis of suspected and influenza-like individuals. Well.
In addition, the Department of Virology at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge confirmed the presence of the A / H5N1 virus in the samples sent for analysis and performed a detailed analysis of the full genome sequencing on GISAID (GISAID: Enabling rapid and open access to epidemic and pandemic virus data) on February 26, 2023. The A / H5N1 virus found in a case in Cambodia shows mutations that are expected to be transmitted from birds to humans, but this does not indicate that the virus is mutating or adapting to human transmission. To the people. The A / H5N1 virus in Cambodia does not have a mutation associated with an increase in mammalian transmission.
The Ministry of Health of Cambodia urges all media outlets to correct and take responsibility for the information they publish and ensure that their reporting is based on accurate scientific evidence and accurate quotes.

I would like to clarify recent statements in the press regarding the ##H5N1 virus detected recently in #Cambodia that were taken out of context. The confusion surrounds the implication that the virus has already gone “through” humans, and may be misinterpreted. (A thread - 1/)

The small adaptations we observe have been detected in spillover events into humans in the past, and have not resulted in sustained human-to-human transmission. **Rigorous experimental analysis is necessary to evaluate the effect of these mutations on this specific virus.** (5/)

As recapped by Erik's previous thread, https://twitter.com/E_A_Karlsson/status/1629711660398305280…, this human sequence is clade 2.3.2.1c, distinct from the clade 2.3.4.4 viruses causing the outbreaks in Europe and North America. This human sequence clusters most closely with other viruses sampled in Southeast Asia

Interestingly, H5 sequences sampled from Cambodia show a lot of diversity. Since 2020, H5N6, H5N8, and H5N1 have all been detected. The human case (red circle) descends from H5 strains that are endemic to Cambodia (blue tips), and are distinct from clade 2.3.4.4 (blue circle)

This matches with what Erick and WHO reported: this human case was likely caused by endemic H5 lineages that have circulated in Cambodia for years rather than from the clade 2.3.4.4 viruses that have been in the news for causing mammal infections lately.

Bird flu patient released after test comes back negative
The man has been given the clear and allowed to return hom
Youk Sambath, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Health, told local news that the man who was being treated for bird flu has been released after the latest test cleared him.
The announcement was released this afternoon and stated that the man is a resident of Sithor Kandal district, Prey Veng.
The senior health official said that despite the test coming back negative for the third time, the medical professionals said that he must remain quarantined for several days in his home after his release from the hospital.
“The results of the third test showed that he was negative for bird flu, so our doctors allowed him to go home, but he had to stay at home for a few days,” said the secretary of state.
The man’s health condition will continue to be monitored by medical professionals.

From a question on twitter.....
When fighting H5N1 the protocol has been to cull excessive amounts of poultry (if some are found to be infected) and also to blanket the area in anti-virals for humans. We used to call it a "tami blanket". This is normal protocol even for only 1 human case.Leave a comment:

I think they are referring to anyone who was a contact to the girl who died, and was also showing any symptoms, as a "bird flu patient" even though they may have always tested negative. One example:Originally posted by Treyfish View PostMoH reports recovery of four bird flu patients
Khmer Times
Secretary of State Youk Sambath announced to local news that four people who were infected with bird flu had recovered and are no longer showing symptoms of the disease.
Sambath said that the patients’ samples were taken by doctors yesterday morning to be tested at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) and National Institute of Public Health, If tests results come back negative today, they will be allowed to return home to quarantine for three days.
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Health added that in case of any changes, the medical team will review their samples.
Following the first case discovered on February 22, the Ministry of Health’s emergency response team found 12 people who had been in contact with the girl infected with the bird flu. (unknown link - see above)
