- This woman is the mother of the 2 died children reported previously in Bali (cf. eWEB n? 188)

- The last human A(H5N1) case in Indonesia was reported on 26th October 2011 (cf. eWEB n?188).
- This new human case brings the total number of reported cases to 182 including 150 deaths.
- The possibility of a limited inter-human transmission can not be formally excluded.
- This kind of inter-human transmission, linked to close contact within a family, has been already documented in several countries.
- To date, this type of inter-human transmission has not resulted yet in a community transmission.
