JAKARTA : An Indonesian woman suspected of being infected with bird flu has died in Bali, hospital sources said Sunday, stoking fears of a wider outbreak on the resort island.

Samples from the 43-year-old woman, a resident of the island's main city Denpasar, have been sent to Jakarta for testing, said Putu Andrika, head of the bird flu control unit at Sanglah general hospital.

Two tests must come back positive for the H5N1 virus before a victim is confirmed as part of the official bird flu death toll in Indonesia, which is the highest in the world at 84.

The woman, who died on Saturday, was suffering from serious lung infection, one of the main symptoms of avian influenza, he said.

Andrika said the woman was not known to have been in contact with dead birds. Transmission usually occurs directly from birds to humans.

If confirmed to be infected with the H5N1 strain of the virus, the woman would be the third fatality on the island this month.

The deaths have raised fears of a possible negative impact on tourism here.

Thousands of birds have been culled since then as a precautionary measure and poultry has been banned from being transported in or out of the district for one month.

Both victims lived northwest of Denpasar and worked in the chicken trade.

Avian influenza was found in poultry on Bali more than a year ago.

H5N1 is endemic in birds across nearly all of Indonesia.

Scientists worry that the virus will eventually mutate into a form that is much more easily transmissible between humans, triggering a disastrous global pandemic. - AFP/ch

Fears of wider birdflu outbreak in Indonesia<!-- noindex -->

An Indonesian woman suspected of being infected with bird flu has died in Bali, raising fears of a wider outbreak.

Blood samples from the 43-year-old resident of Denpasar have been sent to Jakarta for testing.

If it is confirmed that she was infected with the H5N1 strain of the virus, the woman would be Bali's third bird flu fatality this month.

Radio Australia's Girish Sawlani reports the outbreak is also effecting Bali's restaurant trade, and of course the farmers whose livelihoods are based on raising poultry.

The outbreak has lead to a ban on chicken imports from East Java while local farmers have been instructed to keep their chickens penned up.

Avian Influenza or Bird Flu has already claimed two lives in August and the culling of more than 6000 fowl.

According to Agung Surywan, the chairman of the research centre of culture and tourism at the Udayana University, this is causing great hardships for farmers but he says the Balinese government has been providing adequate compensation to farmers who have not been able to sell their chickens.

"The government has already provided what we call special crisis funding," he says.

Despite fears of a potential epidemic, Mr Suryawan says that the local community is uniting behind the Balinese government and community leaders to help stop the spread of Bird Flu.

"At the moment, the community (members) who have chickens are willing to give their chickens to be killed," he says.

Despite the outbreak, Mr. Suryawan says that the bird flu outbreak has barely had any impact on Bali's tourism industry.

As part of preventive measures to stop the further spread of bird flu and maintain confidence among tourists, many hotels and restaurants have taken chicken off their menu, leading to a decline in demand for poultry.

But Dr. Ngurah Mahardika, head of Animal Biomedical and Molecular Biology laboratory at Udayana University says the initiative was not neccessary.

He says that the danger is in raw meat not in the cooked meat.

"I think the development by the hotel and restaurant industry by taking out all the chicken meat from the menu is not a good way to ensure the security of the tourism industry, " he says. <!-- PRINT_CONTENT_END -->

2 bird flu positive cases dead in Bali, Indonesia

AS (f, 28 years) who lived in Banjar Batu Gaing, Baraban, Kediri, Tabanan Bali died on August 21, 2007 at 01.30 p.m. at Sanglah Hospital. She was identified positive of avian influenza (AI) based on observation of Balitbangkes and Eijkman Laboratory. Therefore, there are 2 AI positive cases dead in Bali.


Cumulatively, AI case in Indonesia reaches 105, with 84 people dead. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is 80%.

She had her onset in August 2007 and was hospitalized at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar on August 8, 2007 with difficulty in breathing. She had contact with chicken previously, while rapid test to chicken is positive of H5N1 virus.

This latest information is received by center for Public Communication from Dr. H. Nadhirin at AI outbreak post, DG of Disease Control & Environmental Health MOH on August 22, 2007.

There has not been effective drug for AI. The recent one is oseltamivir, which only functions to obstruct virus growth. The only effective way is by preventing AI virus infection.

AI transmission still comes from avian. Since the huge risk factor of transmission among human, people are suggested not to keep avian for awhile or separate avian from settlement.

When finding sudden dead or sick chicken/avian, people should immediately report it to RT/RW, head of village, health center or local health/farming offices.

To prevent and protect from AI infection, people should:

- not touch dead or sick avian, or else, immediately clean body with soap.

- wash hand and kitchen utensils with water and soap, and cook avian meat an eggs well.

- separate avian from human as well as new avian from the old ones (at least 3 weeks)

- go to health center or hospital when finding flu and fever symptoms, especially after having contact with avian.

There was the Possibility of the Bermutasi
Bird Flu Virus
Yogyakarta -- MIOL: the Poultry that was affected by the bird flu virus at this time indeed must not be sick.
This the big possibility because of the existence of the mutation of the virus H5N1 available in Indonesia.
Results of the research that is carried out by Prof Wasito, Guru Besar of the UGM School Of Veterinary Medicine, since 2003 now showed not only the chicken that was not sick although being proven was infected H5N1.
But the other animal like entok and puyuh also experienced the same thing.
"Why was not sick?"
This the big possibility because of the existence of the mutation of the virus H5N1.
However to prove to have to be carried out by the further research, said Wasito, on Monday (27/8).
Poultry immunity towards this virus, according to the Wasito assumption, could happen because of the process of the inexact vaccination.
Moreover he heard the vaccination that was used by the government being for the kind H5N2 not H5N1.
If this was correctly certainly very dangerous because of the vaccination that was used be not in accordance with genetas the virus.

So as the vaccination was better was stopped in stages like during the handling" of "hoof disease and the mouth in the past."
Moreover in fact vaksinas that the level of his success of only 80 then.
So as if being continued precisely will enable the occurrence of the mutation of the virus, he said.
In the research that was carried out in Yogyakarta, Central Java and Javanese Timur

Since 2003 then also showed that there is the poultry that the virus was only found to the lungs then.
So as when being checked through the sample of saliva and the waste of the poultry was negative.
"In fact in fact positive."
This that was acknowledged as positive false, said former Director General Peternakan Departemen of this Agriculture.
So, to learn truly the positive poultry was affected H5N1 or not, then the sample that was taken must really exact.
Only was not taken to the sample of blood, the waste and mucus but also must arrive at the lungs.
"Because of could be in the lungs was but in the waste was not available," he stressed.
The research that was carried out with Prof Hastari this also found in puyuh the mixed infection happened between H5N1 and H7N1.
However the research not yet until concluded the kind virus what H5N1 this.


We were also co-operating with several experts from overseas to know the kind what in fact available bird flu in Indoensia now," he said.
Apart from asking that the vaccination was reviewed as well as carried out the inspection truly, Wasito that found the existence of the bird flu virus to this fly also firmly refused prevention efforts by means of the extermination.
According to him, the extermination might be only carried out to the positive poultry was affected by this flu.
"If played bashed kromo like uptil now could be destroyed all the poultry in Indonesia."
Everything was proven that bird flu only was not to the poultry but also to the fly, he said.
"Biosecurity that was exact and tight must be done."
Not only on paper and omong doang, he stressed.
