Health Ministry: 2 Indonesians died of bird flu

The Associated Press

Posted: 01/21/2009 ST

JAKARTA, Indonesia—Two Indonesians have died of bird flu, apparently after contact with sick chickens, raising the country's death toll to 115, the Health Ministry said Wednesday.

A ministry statement said a 6-year-old girl in Bekasi, West Java, died on Jan. 2. She got sick after buying a chicken with her parents at a market and was hospitalized for a week.

A 29-year-old woman died on Dec. 16 in Tangerang just outside the capital, Jakarta. She developed flu-like symptoms after visiting a market and died in a hospital five days later.

Double laboratory testing confirmed they had the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, the statement said.

Indonesia has regularly recorded human deaths from bird flu since the virus began ravaging poultry stocks across Asia in 2003. It first reported deaths from the disease in 2005.

The World Health Organization—which bases its tally on national figures—put the country's dead toll at 113 out of 249 recorded fatalities worldwide, including three Chinese victims this year.

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 such a mutation, but the country's health minister has refused to share virus samples with the 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 morphing into a more dangerous form.

Indonesia confirms two more bird flu deaths
Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:54am EST


JAKARTA, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Two Indonesians living close to the capital Jakarta have died of bird flu, the health ministry said on Wednesday, bringing the country's death toll from the disease to 115.

A 5-year-old girl from Bekasi east of Jakarta died in January, while a 29-year-old woman from Tangerang, west of Jakarta, died in December last year, the health ministry said on its website.

The girl from Bekasi got sick after her parents had bought a chicken in a market.

"The cat died after it ate the chicken they bought," the statement said.

The 29-year-old fell ill after visiting a market close to her house, the statement said, without elaborating.

Samples from the two women tested positive in two local laboratories, it said.

Indonesia, which has stopped updating bird flu deaths immediately after they occur, has the highest toll from the disease of any nation.

Including the latest two deaths, Indonesia has had 115 deaths confirmed from the deadly H5N1 virus, according to data compiled since 2003 by the World Health Organisation.

Although bird flu remains an animal disease, experts fear that the virus might mutate into a form easily passed from human to human, sparking a pandemic in which case millions could die.
