My dumb question for the day

My dumb question for the day

While it's hard to say what Tamiflu blanketeers are doing out in the villages, I am assuming that individuals with bird flu symptoms that are rushed to the hospital are swabbed for H5N1 before they are given Tamiflu. Hence it may not in many cases be the Tamiflu that is responsible for the initial negative tests. Is NAMRU2 doing any testing for other influenza strains? Or is additional testing not possible because the sample is used up in the initial H5N1 test procedure

I keep wondering, especially considering there is an epidemic of H5N1 among Indonesian poultry, whether tthe H5N1 test for humans no longer works properly because of mutations in H5N1 strain or whether this virus has combined with other influenza viruses and the tests don't pick it up for that reason.

Have any of the experts chimed in on this phenomenon?

Suspected human bird flu case admitted to Indonesian hospital

29/08/2006 10:17:00 AM

A sixty-year-old man from Indonesia's West Java has been admitted to hospital on suspicion of having bird flu, a hospital official said.

A sixty-year-old man from Indonesia's West Java has been admitted to hospital on suspicion of having bird flu, a hospital official said.

The man, identified as Pidi, was sent to the general hospital in Garut, West Java from the hamlet of Cipicung in the isolated subdistrict of Cikelet where three people have already been infected by bird flu, said Yogi Suprayogi, the spokesman of the hospital.

The man who was admitted with high fever and respiratory problems -- both symptoms of bird flu -- owned 10 chicken which died suddenly two days before he went to the hospital, Suprayogi said.

Three other people from Cikelet are also suspected of having been killed by the disease.

The district animal husbandry office has killed a total of 4,602 birds, including chicken, ducks, geese and doves in the six villages in Cikelet in the past days, said Dida, an official from the office in Garut.

More birds would also be killed in two other nearby villages, he added.

Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, has 60 confirmed cases of infection so far, 46 of them fatal, the highest number in the world.

While the H5N1 virus that causes bird flu does not spread easily among people, the chance of a mutation occurring which will allow it to do so is heightened as more humans catch it from infected birds.

Scientists fear that if this occurs, a global flu pandemic with a massive death toll could result.
