Of course, the report never mentions the suspected patient in Kuningan, one only knows about that if you have awesome people like Theresa around to tell you what's up! It is unbelievable how on top of everyone else's outbreaks People's Daily is! All their bird flu reporters are in other countries.

Indonesian authorities have warned of a major bird flu outbreak in the West Java town of Kuningan after 596 chickens died of the disease in August, an official said Tuesday.
Local officials said bird flu attacks were found in two districts, namely Cigugur and Darma.
"The 596 chickens died of bird flu based on rapid tests (at the scene) and laboratory tests," said Nana Adnan, head of the West Java veterinary office.
Following the findings, authorities plan to cull 3,000 chickens in the affected areas, he was quoted by the national Antara news agency as saying.
Local officials have culled some 5,000 chickens in nearby Garut regency after one person died of bird flu based on local tests.
Indonesia now has the world's highest bird flu death toll of 47 out of 62 sufferers since the first human case was confirmed two years ago.

Avian influenza ? situation in Indonesia ? update 15
29 May 2006
The Ministry of Health in Indonesia has confirmed an additional six cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Three of these cases were fatal.
None of the newly confirmed cases is associated with the family cluster in Karo, North Sumatra. The cases are widely dispersed geographically (see map below).
One newly confirmed case is an 18-year-old man from East Java Province. He developed symptoms on 6 May and was hospitalized on 17 May. He is now recovering. The investigation found a history of exposure to dead chickens in his home within the week prior to symptom onset. No further cases of influenza-like illness have been identified during the investigation and monitoring of his close contacts.
Two additional cases occurred in a 10-year-old girl and her 18-year-old brother from Bandung, West Java. Both children developed symptoms on 16 May, were hospitalized on 22 May, and died on 23 May. Both children had a history of close contact with sick and dying chickens at their home in the week before symptom onset. The identical onset dates strongly suggest that they acquired their infection following a shared exposure to poultry, and not from each other. Follow-up of contacts has not identified further cases of influenza-like illness.
An additional case occurred in a 39-year-old man from West Jakarta. He developed symptoms on 9 May, was hospitalized on 16 May, and died on 19 May. The investigation determined that the man cleaned pigeon faeces from blocked roof gutters at his home shortly before symptom onset. No further potential source of exposure was identified.
The remaining two patients are a 43-year-old man from South Jakarta, who developed symptoms on 6 May, and a 15-year-old girl from West Sumatra, who developed symptoms on 17 May. The 43-year-old man has recovered and been discharged from hospital. The 15-year-old girl remains hospitalized. The sources of exposure for these two cases are under investigation.
The newly confirmed cases bring the cumulative total in Indonesia to 48. Of these cases, 36 were fatal.
