Re: Indonesia - Family in Karo suspected of having bf

Ok - Because I am dense on counting infection/death numbers, can someone check this for me.

North Sumatra

8 infected, 6 dead, a family cluster


Jakarta

4 infected and hospitalized


Medan

13 suspect cases, including 1 HCW, another family cluster


This is correct?

Ok -

North Sumatra
8 infected, 6 dead, a family cluster

I think you can ad 5 more infected outside the cluster to this figure. Otherwise up to date, except it is tomorrow there.

Re: RSPI SULIANTI SAROSO treated four patients FLU of BURUNG

"B" became the patient with suspect bird flu because of having his family's member with initials "M." (43 years) beforehand has suffered avian influenza.
"M." became the patient suspect bird flu/because of having his property poultry that died.
"M. was" treated" in ICU RSPI Sulianti Saroso since last May 8.

http://www.metrotvnews.com/berita.asp?id=16630

The way I understand this "M" is 43 years old and has had BF before.

I've read where people say that if they catch this in the first wave when the medicine is plentiful thinking that they will then be immune before the second more deadly wave arrives.

Well here it is folks, that theory has just been blown out of the water.

Do not forget this thread started by Snowy Owl on 5/2/06 where the Indonesian Minister for People's Welfare says that there are 128 persons who have tested positive for H5N1.

"....The minister hoped that the donor countries would realize their commitment soon to help the Indonesian government carry out its bird flu elimination program.

"It must be carried out soon because the number of infection cases tended to increase, though there is no indication as to the outbreak of bird flu pandemic disease," he added.

He said 401 suspects had been examined. Of the number, 330 were declared negative with the bird flu virus, 128 were still under observations and 128 had been confirmed positive with the virus.."

Trying to find translators

I've tried emailing & filling in the comments form on this story, to get an Indonesian translator. Trouble is, I get error messages in Indonesian and I'm none the wiser about what I should do. If anyone with a smattering of Indonesian is reading this, can they try as well ? We could really do with understanding these articles, and putting them into context.

Five die from bird flu
Five people from the same family have died of bird flu, according to local tests, a health official said yesterday. The two men, two women and an eight-year-old girl lived closely with each other in the Karo district of North Sumatra and came from "the same family tree," said I Nyoman Kandun, the health ministry's director general of disease control. Kandun said the five had been in contact with sick poultry and pigs near their homes before they fell ill and died within days of each other over the past three weeks.

Two more bird-flu patients die in Adam Malik hospital
http://news.antara.co.id/en/seenws/?id=12721

Two bird flu patients passed away in Adam Malik Hospital Medan, a spokesman of the hospital dr. Alwinsyah Abidin said here on Monday.

With the latest deaths, a total of six bird flu patients had passed away in the hospital so far, he said.

Raphael (8) died at midnight on Saturday, while Brenita Karo-karo (18 months) died on Sunday evening.

The two children suffered from high fever when they were brought to the hospital. They were later put in an isolated care unit for intensive medical treatment until they passed away.

Currently, Adam Malik Hospital is still treating another bird flu patient, namely Johanes Ginting (25), from Tanah Karo village, North Sumatra.

Coordinating Minister for People?s Welfare Aburizal Bakrie early this month said that some 401 suspects of bird flu (avian influenza) had been examined. Of the number, 330 were declared negative with the bird flu virus, 128 were still under observations and 128 had been confirmed positive with the virus.<br />

Indonesia needs some US$900 million for a three-year program to fight Avian flu, he said, adding that the funds would be obtained from the state budget (US$50 million per year) and the private sector (US$20 million per year).

Re: Indonesia - Family in Karo suspected of having bf

Officials Study
Indonesia Bird-Flu Cluster
A Family's Cases Put Scientists
On Guard for Virus Mutations
By NICHOLAS ZAMISKA
May 15, 2006

An unusually big cluster of suspected bird-flu cases involving eight members of an extended family in Indonesia is attracting attention from local and international health officials on guard against any sign the virus may have evolved to spread easily among humans.
After attending a recent family gathering, the eight people living in the northern part of Sumatra island fell ill. Six of them have died in the past week or so, according to Nyoman Kandun, director general of disease control and environmental health at the Indonesian Ministry of Health in Jakarta.
PREVENTING A PANDEMIC

<SUP>1</SUP> ? See an FAQ on avian flu<SUP>2</SUP>, an interactive global map<SUP>3</SUP> and track the latest developments in the Avian Flu News Tracker<SUP>4</SUP>.

? Plus, see complete coverage<SUP>5</SUP>.


Local tests, which have proved highly reliable, have shown that five of those family members were infected with the H5N1 virus, a deadly bird-flu strain, although a laboratory in Hong Kong is in the process of confirming those results. Specimens from one of the six people who died weren't available.
With most similar, albeit smaller, human clusters in the past, health officials have presumed that the family members all fell ill after contracting the virus from the same sick birds -- perhaps during the slaughter or preparation of infected poultry prior to a meal -- rather than inferring human-to-human transmission.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the family members had been exposed to infected poultry. Dr. Kandun said that the family had at least a few chickens, two of which died recently, although birds often die in small numbers for reasons other than avian influenza. He said barbecued pig had been served at the family gathering.
<REPRINTSDISCLAIMER>The World Health Organization has sent an official to the family's village to investigate. "The investigation is still ongoing. It's still too early to say at this point," Sari Setiogi, a spokeswoman in Jakarta for the agency said last night, adding that this was the largest cluster she has seen. "It's a huge number of people that are living in the same place. But the possibility of environmental exposure is also there."
A nurse who attended to some of the patients also came down with an influenza-like illness, although she seems to have shown symptoms prior to treating the patients, according to Dr. Kandun. She and others in the family's village are currently being tested for the virus.
While there have been no obvious signs of poultry infected with bird flu in the area where the people died, according to Dr. Kandun, the virus has been widespread among the country's birds. Many human cases of bird flu have been confirmed in places where there have been no reported infections among poultry. Birds are known to harbor the virus without showing symptoms, and cases of the disease in birds might go undetected.
Since last year, the WHO has confirmed 33 human cases of bird flu in Indonesia. Of those, 25 have been fatal. Globally since late 2003, a total of 208 people in 10 countries have been infected, of whom 115 have died.
Transmission among people has been suspected in several cases. An investigation into one of those clusters from 2004 in Thailand led scientists to conclude that an 11-year-old girl who caught the virus and eventually died likely passed it directly to both her mother and her aunt while the two cared for her.
In that cluster, however, there was no sign that a fundamental shift in the virus's genetic code had allowed it to pass easily between humans, leading scientists to believe this was a rare, isolated case.
