            Ten show of signs of bird flu in W. Java
            August 21, 2006

            Yuli Tri Suwarni, The Jakarta Post, Bandung

            A young boy with symptoms of bird flu was rushed to Garut hospital in West Java on Saturday, raising the official number of people suspected of having bird flu from Cikelet village to 10 and pushing health authorities to widen an investigation into a potential bird flu cluster.

            The new patient, a five-year-old boy identified as R, is a resident of Rancamareme hamlet and the brother of a young girl also identified as R, who died two weeks ago after showing bird flu symptoms. No blood test was conducted on the girl to confirm that she had died of the disease.

            Head of the West Java Health Office, Yudi Prayudha, said there were a total of 10 patients from five hamlets in Cikelet and Cigadog villages, located some 130 kilometers south of Garut city who had shown symptoms of bird flu.

            He said the office's health team had taken blood samples from 40 residents who had a history of contact with people confirmed as having bird flu and those suspected of having the disease.

            "We've also set up a special post in Rancasalah hamlet in Cikelet to provide prompt treatment for residents suffering from high fever to do the most we can for those in the villages," Yudi said Saturday in Bandung.


            Cikelet and Cigadog are hard to reach due to poor road access.

            With the admission of the young boy to the hospital, the official number of people suspected of having contracted bird flu released by the health office stood at 10, excluding a nine-year-old girl identified as D who died last week of what was initially thought to be typhoid. Since D had been diagnosed with typhoid, the hospital did not take a blood sample to be tested for bird flu.

            A nine-year-old girl, identified as A, died Tuesday of bird flu, while a 14-year-old boy, identified as U, is recovering at home after local tests confirmed he had the disease. Four other people from the village had died with symptoms of bird flu before tests could be done.

            "He (U) is happy in his village and has recovered," Runizar Roesin of the Bird Flu Information Center told AFP on Saturday.

            Two other children from the village who were thought to have bird flu -- a six-year-old girl identified as I and an eight-year-old girl identified as S -- are also recovering. The first polymerize chain reaction (PCR) test taken on the two by Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung, where they were being treated, have shown they were H5N1 negative.

            "But they cannot be declared completely free since there's still a need for a second and third test," Hasan Sadikin's director Cissy Rachiana Prawira, said.

            The hospital sent a blood sample of another patient who is also from the same village, 32-year-old EK, for testing Saturday. The woman, who is 14 weeks pregnant, was admitted Friday and is recovering.

            The rising number of people with bird flu symptoms from the village has raised fears of a new cluster of the disease in the province, which ranks first in the country with bird flu.

            But head of the National Committee for Avian Influenza Control and Pandemic Preparedness, Bayu Krisnamurthi, has played down the fears, saying the cases are not clusters because they were from different hamlets.

            According to Health Ministry figures, 46 Indonesians have died of bird flu since the first case diagnosed in humans here in June last year. It is the world's highest number of fatalities.

            Yudi said that a study conducted by the West Java Health Office, the Health Ministry, the World Health Organization and residents' testimony found that poultry began to die in the village of bird flu in June this year while in August several people began to show symptoms of avian influenza otherwise known as the H5N1 virus.

            "But we just detected the virus' spread last Friday after the boy, U, tested positive for the virus," he said.

              Risma's sister died 2 weeks ago of unknown causes

              Indonesia Steps Up Probe Into W Java Bird Flu Cluster

              Copyright ? 2006, Dow Jones Newswires

              JAKARTA (AP) -- Indonesia stepped up an investigation into a possible cluster of bird flu cases in West Java province Sunday after a young girl, teenaged boy and an elderly man were hospitalized with symptoms of the disease, bringing the number of suspected cases to 12. Those admitted in the last 24 hours were a 4-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy and a 60-year-old man.

              Laboratory tests are not yet back for the 4-year-old girl [this is Risma], who was rushed to Dr. Slamet Hospital in Garut Saturday after suffering from a high fever and respiratory problems. Her sister passed away two weeks ago before the cause of death could be determined.

              Both came from Cikelet, a West Java hamlet 150 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of the capital Jakarta, where there have been eight other human cases of confirmed or suspected bird flu, raising concerns of a possible new cluster.

              "Our team of health officials is collecting all data and information we can from the area," said Nyoman Kandun, the health ministry's director general of communicable disease control, calling the Cikelet case "extraordinary."

              The H5N1 virus has killed at least 140 people worldwide since it began ravaging Asian poultry stocks in late 2003, 45 of them in Indonesia, the worst-affected country, according to the World Health Organization.

              Most people have been infected after coming into contact with sick birds, but experts fear the virus could mutate into a form that spreads easily among humans, potentially sparking a pandemic.

                          Nursifa is not in the cluster, but is from Bekasi near Jakarta.

                          I have counted 22 suspect cases by name; hopefully many of these will be negative.

                          6 deaths, a few apparent recoveries.

Her nine-year-old daughter died two weeks ago, but she was buried before any tissue samples were taken for testing.
                              ?We did not take her [daughter's] specimens, so we don't know whether she is positive or negative,? I Nyoman Kandun, Indonesia's director general of communicable disease control, said. ?It seems she had the same symptoms - pneumonia, breathlessness. If the daughter was also positive we can say this is a cluster family.?
                              Officials said they were collecting samples from others who may have been in contact with the family of the woman, who was the 46th death in Indonesia.
                              Local poultry is described as rife with the H5N1 virus and a team from the health ministry, local authorities and the World Health Organisation are in the area investigating.
                              Dr Slamet Hospital spokesman Yogi Suprayogi said that on Saturday three other villagers were hospitalised.
                              ?We suspect there is a possibility of cluster,? Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari said.
                              Bayu Krisnamurthi, head of the national committee on Avian Influenza Control and Pandemic Preparedness, said yesterday that more than 4,000 birds had been culled in the area. He added that since patients came from various areas he believed no human-to-human transmission had occurred. (PB)
