Re: Indonesia: Human Cases 8 Oct 2008 +
Interview with official from KOMNAS FBPI (Nat. Committee for Bird Flu, Jakarta) on the situation in Makassar region, Sulawesi.
The strategy in Indonesia seems to shift from vaccination to culling; according to this official (stray)dogs should be culled too.
On the human cases he frankly says: "But in a manner logic, I saw 17 suspect this was positive, because I asked the hospital side,
their illness not malaria, also not typhus, moreover, they were in the territory that was the same as the positive poultry carcass
bird flu that was found."
Depopulation Of The Poultry As Far As The Radius One Kilometer
The Member Komnas Bird Flu And The Influenza Pandemic, Dr. Dr. Armyn Nurdin M.Sc.
The Avian Influenza virus (AI) that attacked the resident's poultry in the Tangki Jangang Kelurahan Sudiang Kecamatan Biringkanaya Village that was accompanied by the sign of the high fever against 17 residents around, made the side's panic Official Health and Livestock Service in Makassar.
There was this virus concern claimed casualties. How did the step anticipate the spreading of bird flu that was caused by the virus H5N1 this? Along with the reporter's interview the Aswad Syam Dawn with the Member Komnas Bird Flu and the influenza Pandemic, Dr Dr Armyn Nurdin MSc, on Sunday, November 16.
How the Makassar status with the existence of the virus findings H5N1 in the Tangki Jangang Sudiang Village?
I saw,
Makassar already including the endemic area of bird flu. Moreover if being not wrong, in 2006 then, there was one resident who died resulting from this illness. The virus findings H5N1 in Tangki Jangang, especially in RW 2, proved this virus evidently still spread in the Makassar area.
Makassar would the area of the centre of the sale of the poultry, especially in wet market (the traditional market). If true results of the sample inspection of blood 17 residents were positive, then this cluster biggest bird flu, beforehand would Tana Karo North Sumatra with six people.
With these findings, the step what must be done by the resident around Tangki Jangang?
The community as far as the radius one kilometre must be on the alert. Officially Livestock and Health Service, also immediately must carry out
depopulation or the extermination as far as the radius one kilometre. Because the movement of this virus was estimated in a radius of one kilometre.
This was based by us on the area of the movement of the poultry, especially the chicken. A chicken was estimated the area of his movement reached one kilometre. So, the poultry in the area one kilometre this must didepopulasi or was destroyed, if not, was worried by us these poultries will spread the virus H5N1 that to the other region.
Apart from depopulation, was there the other step that must be carried out?
Biosekuriti must be also done with sprayed disinfektan to poultry pens. The virus H5N1 also died with detergent, so the resident must dilute detergent in one water bucket, afterwards was poured to the pen. Moreover, we also must hard-working washed foot, as well as mop the floor with detergent water. Also washed the hands before eating.
You will have inspected the location in Tangki Jangang, how the process of the spreading of the bird flu virus there?
Like this, the
poultry carcass that died, quite
positive bird flu.
This carcass was afterwards run off with by a roving dog in the territory. This dog that spread this virus.
So according to me,
the dog must be in the same territory eliminated, we were frightened him, the remnants of the virus H5N1 on the dog saliva spread.
With this case, for the time being we might not eat meat, especially poultry meat?
Was thought by me we might not frightened of eating poultry meat or the egg. Provided that, poultry meat and this egg, was cooked through to the temperature 60 levels celsius.
So don't cook the egg or half-ripe meat. Moreover, the virus H5N1 remained three hours till 12 hours. But was seen by me in Pattene, what was done by the resident has been in accordance with the standard of the health.
That has guaranteed if the region could be safe with the procedure?
Was thought by me already 80 percent safe if the procedure was carried out. Nevertheless, I continued to make a plea to the resident, if there are those that felt the fever, the cough, breathless and had had contact with the poultry a week beforehand, immediately get examined in the command post.
That for vigilance himself.
Afterwards was related to 17 suspect available in the Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, was thought by me continued to have to be treated as the sufferer before results of the sample laboratory of his blood said the negative.
But in a manner logic, I saw 17 suspect this was positive, because I asked the hospital side, their illness not malaria, also not typhus, moreover, they were in the territory that was the same as the positive poultry carcass bird flu that was found.
How the Komnas FBPI response with this case?
Not only we in the reactive centre.
This case has arrived in WHO (the world body that handled the health, red). We will follow the principle one world one health was the health was property of all the world.
Moreover this was connected with the life died, so was thought by me we might not cover up. We might not embarrassed, because of the virus H5N1 this not from Indonesia.
But I the salute with the Sudiang Community Health Centre, because of having two people who were found, they at once descended to the location and referred to the Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital.
Was thought by me, this could become the example for the other community health centre.
How many availability of the budget for the handling of this bird flu?
If speaking the problem of the fund, of course the amount was big enough. His article, apart from the preceptive fund bird flu in APBN, also had help from several international agencies, like Unicef, WHO, and the World Bank.
That was handled by me, there was the stand fund by Rp 50 billion. This not yet scrape out by us-match. I have sent the procedure to get this fund to the Livestock Service and the Health Service related of the handling of bird flu here.
