An Indonesian teen has died of bird flu raising the death toll in the country hardest hit by the virus to 113, health officials said.
The latest death comes amid an ongoing dispute between the Southeast Asian country and the World Health Organisation (WHO) over sharing samples of the virus from patients there to monitor whether the H5N1 virus is mutating to a more dangerous form.
The 15-year-old girl died late last week after being hospitalised for 10 days in Semarang, a city 400km east of the capital Jakarta, said Agus Suryanto who headed the team of doctors treating her.
Tests from two local laboratories came back positive for bird flu, said Tatik Suryanti, a health agency official.
Authorities believe the girl - who lived near a chicken slaughterhouse - became infected with the H5N1 virus after coming into contact with sick poultry. An investigation continues.
Indonesia has regularly recorded human deaths from bird flu since the virus began ravaging poultry stocks across Asia in 2003.
Its toll of 113 accounts for nearly half the 245 recorded fatalities worldwide.
Bird flu remains hard for people to catch, but health experts worry it could mutate into a form that passes easily between humans, possibly triggering a pandemic that could kill millions worldwide.
Indonesia is considered a potential hotspot for that to happen, but the country's health minister has refused to share virus samples with WHO for more than two years.
She argues that pharmaceutical companies will use the samples to make vaccines that are ultimately unaffordable to her own people.
Critics say Indonesia's policy is making it harder to see if the virus is mutating into a more dangerous form.

Indonesian teenager dies of suspected bird flu in Java
------------------------------------------------------
A 15 year old Indonesian [girl from Semarang] is believed to have died from
suspected bird flu in Central Java on Friday [7 Nov 2008].

A total of 113 people have died of avian influenza or bird flu in
Indonesia, the worst affected country in the world. Agus Suryanto, a
medical official, said that [the girl] died from respiratory failure that
followed a high fever. "There was a chance that she got infected by bird
flu as she had been living nearby a chicken abattoir," Agus told
kompas.com. He said that the hospital had taken and diagnosed [?] a blood
sample from the patient but was still waiting for the results of the test.

The Ministry of Health of Indonesia in September [2008] retrospectively
announced 2 confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian
influenza virus. According to the UN World Health Organization, of the 138
cases confirmed to date in Indonesia, 113 have been fatal. A total of 246
deaths have been recorded worldwide. [As of 10 Sep 2008 (the latest
report), WHO's table of the cumulative number of confirmed human cases of
avian influenza A/(H5N1) gives the number of deaths in Indonesia as 112 and
the number of cases as 137; see

[In an earlier report from Indonesia this case was confused with that of a
32 year old poultry worker who died on Monday 3 Nov 2008 of suspected avian
influenza. Laboratory analysis did not confirm the diagnosis of bird flu
infection in his case.

Apart from proximity to a poultry abattoir, there is no compelling reason
to indicate that the teenager has died as a result of avian influenza virus
infection. The results of laboratory tests are pending.

CIDRAP >> Indonesian sources say teen died of H5N1 infection

Indonesian sources say teen died of H5N1 infection

Lisa Schnirring * Staff Writer
Nov 12, 2008 (CIDRAP News) ?

A 15-year-old Indonesian girl from central Java recently died from an H5N1 avian influenza infection, according to news reports that cited a local health official and a physician who treated the girl.


In June Indonesia's health ministry stopped reporting new H5N1 cases promptly, opting instead for periodic updates.

Over the past few days media reports had said the girl's death was suspicious and that she lived near a poultry slaughterhouse, and today the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters reported that the girl had an H5n1 infection.

If the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the girl's infection, it will be listed as Indonesia's 138th H5N1 case and 113th death.

Agus Suryanto, head of the medical team that treated the girl at Doctor Karyadi Hospital in Semarang, told Reuters that health ministry labs confirmed that the girl died of an avian influenza infection.

He told the AP that the girl was hospitalized 10 days before she died.

Tatik Suryanti, a local health official, told the AP that tests today from two laboratories were positive for the H5N1 virus.

According to a Nov 7 report from the Jakarta Post, Suryanto said the girl died on Nov 7 after having respiratory failure with a high fever. She was from Semarang, the Post reported.

In other developments, hospital officials in Bandung, Indonesia, are investigating the apparently pneumonia-related death of a 32-year-old who slaughtered chickens and kept backyard birds, according to a Nov 8 Post report.

Though initial tests on the man were negative for the H5N1 virus, Cissy Rachiana Prawira, director of Bandung's Hasan Sadikin Hospital, told the Post that further testing was ordered because he had direct contact with poultry.

Animal health officials tested about 500 chickens at the man's house, one of which tested positive for the H5N1 virus, the Post reported.

Indonesia's last two H5N1 victims?two men who died in July?were confirmed by the country's health ministry on Sep 9. Their H5N1 illnesses and deaths were recognized by the WHO on Sep 10.

The WHO's global H5N1 count is 387 cases and 245 deaths.

The 10 days would have to include the Community Health Center, and the Private Hospital, that she was reconciled from. She arrived at Karyadi Hospital on the 3rd, passed away on the 7th.
As Dutchy noted, private hospitals do not carry Tamiflu. And I've yet to find out the name of that hospital. I don't have a Comm. Hlth. Ctr. written down in my notes, but I believe she went to one.

Indonesian Health Ministry on Thursday denied foreign reports that a 15-year-old girl from Central Java had died of avian influenza, saying two laboratory tests had showed her blood samples negative of H5N1.

The girl died on Friday in Karyadi Hospital in Semarang city, 250 miles east of Jakarta after 10 days of medical treatment.

Denying several foreign reports that the girl had been confirmed dead of bird flu, Health Minister Siti Padilah Sufari said: "Both of the laboratory tests showed that she was negative of bird flu, so the total death toll (of bird flu) remains 112."

A total of 137 people had been infected by bird flu in Indonesia, making the country hardest hit by the deadly virus. The avian influenza has killed so far 244 people in the world.

Indonesia has been striving to diminish the factors that facilitate the spread of the bird flu virus, including big territory, traditional way of rising chickens on back yard and lack of obedience of provincial administration in implementing Jakarta's relevant decisions.

Post #140:


The 10 days would have to include the Community Health Center, and the Private Hospital, that she was reconciled from. She arrived at Karyadi Hospital on the 3rd, passed away on the 7th.
As Dutchy noted, private hospitals do not carry Tamiflu. And I've yet to find out the name of that hospital. I don't have a Comm. Hlth. Ctr. written down in my notes, but I believe she went to one.

She went to a Community Health Center first, however it is not clear if she was treated there as a bird flu patient.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:Luxembourg?s Economy and Foreign Trade Minister Jeannot Krecke said the country is looking at the possibility of investing in and cooperating with industries in Indonesia. ?We are looking at investment possibilities,? he said following a meeting with Industry Minister Fahmi Idris yesterday.


He said Luxembourg excelled in the sectors of steel industry, logistics and financial services. Krecke, however, could not yet reveal the value of investment being considered. ?We are still looking for opportunities,? he said.

Krecke is also scheduled to meet with Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani and Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari.

Anshari Bukhari, the director ?general of Metal, Machinery, Textile and Diverse Industries said Minister Fahmi asked Luxembourg to invest in the pharmacy and agro-business sectors, like rubber. ?These are two sectors which are growing rapidly in Indonesia,? he said.

Anshari is not worried that Luxembourg?s investment plans may be impeded by Health Minister Regulation No. 1010/MENKES/PER/XI/2008 on drug registration. The regulation dated November 3, 2008 says pharmaceutical companies without distribution facilities may not register their companies. ?Luxembourg wants to build a plant here, and not just sell drugs, so it will not be subject to the regulation,? Anshari said.

Earlier, 13 international pharmaceutical companies were in danger of being affected by the Health Ministry?s regulation. They are PT Roche Indonesia, Sanofi Aventis Pasteur, PT Transfarma Medica-Indah, PT Eli Liliy, PT Wyeth Indonesia, PT Sterling, PT Astrzeneca Indonesia, PT Novo Nordisk Indonesia, PT Astellas Pharma Indonesia, PT Janssen Cilag, PT Solvay Pharma Indonesia, PT Merck Sharp & Dohme Indonesia, and PT Servier Indonesia.

Comment: my feeling is , this is not 1 cluster, but the total of (suspect) patients treated at the moment, probably coming from different villages, area's .
Not much news on bird flu coming out of Sulawesi; Poultytrade always has been very important business, especially in South Sulawesi.
"The flattest" means something like : they are "flat out", showing all the clinical symptoms of avian flu

Edit: the patients are from 1 subdistrict.
