Indonesian girl tests positive for bird flu

JAKARTA, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A 14-year-old girl from West Jakarta has tested positive for bird flu, pushing the country's total for confirmed human cases to 127, a health ministry official said on Wednesday.
Lily Sulistyowati, the ministry's spokeswoman, said the teenager started to become sick a week after visiting her grandmother, who sells poultry.
"Some of the chickens and water fowl at her grandmother's house died suddenly, but her grandmother is fine," Sulistyowati told Reuters.
Sulistyowati said many Indonesians who earn a living by selling fowl often ignore government regulations banning people from keeping them at home or in their backyards.
Indonesia has a poultry population of 1.2 billion a year, including 285 million chickens kept by families in their backyards. These backyard chickens are a common feature of rural life in Indonesia, but have hampered efforts to curb bird flu.
Indonesia has had 103 deaths from bird flu, the highest of any nation in the world.
Contact with sick fowl is the most common way of contracting bird flu, endemic in bird populations in most of Indonesia.
Although bird flu remains an animal disease, experts fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into a form easily passed from human to human, possibly killing millions of people. (Reporting by Mita Valina Liem; Editing by David Fogarty)

Indonesian girl may have caught bird flu from mother

5 hours ago
JAKARTA, Indonesia - The daughter of an Indonesian women who tested positive for bird flu has also contracted the virus, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, in what could be a case of human-to-human transmission.
The 14-year-old girl was in critical condition at a Jakarta hospital, WHO said on its website. The girl's 38-year-old mother has been in hospital with the bird flu virus since Jan. 26.
"She was exposed to her sick mother...and spent time in a neighbourhood where chickens and other birds were found," the WHO statement said, adding the source of infection is still under investigation.
Further tests will be needed to establish whether the daughter contracted the virus from contact with her mother or from an infected chicken or its droppings - the source of most of Indonesia's 103 fatal cases.
Cases of possible human-to-human transmission are watched closely because they increase the chance of the virus mutating into a form that is easily passed among humans, which could possibly trigger a global pandemic.
The World Health Organization said the virus passed between humans, although in a limited way, in one large cluster of cases in a single family on Indonesia's Sumatra Island in 2006.
The H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed at least 226 people worldwide since it started ravaging poultry stocks in Asia five years ago, WHO said.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - A 14-year-old girl from West Jakarta whose mother was hospitalized with bird flu last month, has also tested positive, a health ministry official said on Wednesday, bringing Indonesia's total confirmed cases to 127.

Bird flu kills 16-year-old boy in Indonesia, bringing nation's toll from illness to 104

The Associated PressPublished: February 16, 2008

JAKARTA, Indonesia: A 16-year-old Indonesian boy from Central Java province has died of bird flu, bringing the nation's death toll from the illness to 104, the Health Ministry said Saturday.

The boy became ill on Feb. 3 with a cough and other respiratory symptoms, according to the Health Ministry's Web site.

He died a week later in a hospital in the city of Solo, about 450 kilometers (280 miles) southeast of the capital, Jakarta, said Sumardi, a ministry spokesman. Like he many Indonesians, he goes by one name.

Tests confirmed the boy had been infected with the dangerous H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus, the ministry's Web site said.

The victim's neighbors had sick chickens on their property and the boy apparently slaughtered some of them before he became ill, the ministry said.

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

Bird flu remains hard for people to catch, but health experts worry the virus could mutate into a form that passes easily among humans, sparking a pandemic. So far, most human cases have been linked to contact with infected birds.

Scientists have warned that Indonesia, which has millions of backyard chickens and poor medical facilities, is a potential hot spot for a global bird flu pandemic.

At least 227 people have died worldwide from the virus, according to the World Health Organization's Web site.

Indonesian boy dies from bird flu

+ - 17:18, February 16, 2008

A 16 year-old Indonesian boy from Central Java province has died from avian influenza, put the total fatalities to 104 out of 128 contracted people in the hardest-hit country, the Indonesian Health Ministry said on Saturday.

The boy died on Feb. 10 at a hospital in the province and the result of examination on his blood samples came out on Friday, showing that he was contracted by the H5N1 virus, said the ministry spokesperson Lily Sriwahyuni Sulistyowati.

"He died on Sunday and both of laboratory tests of his blood samples showed positive on Friday," she told Xinhua.

The boy had historical contact with fowl at his residence, as scores of chickens belonging to him and his neighbors were sick and some of them suddenly died before he first showed initial symptoms of the disease on Feb. 3, said Sulistyowati.

"The boy slaughtered the rest of sick chickens," she said.

Contact with fowl is a common cause of the bird flu fatality in Indonesia.

After the first symptoms of the disease were shown on Feb. 3, such as fever, respiratory problem, cough, the boy went to a traditional midwife in a village, then six days later he was admitted to Moewardi hospital in Solo town, said Sulistyowati.

Experts have blamed improper initial medical treatment as one of the main cause of the highest fatality rates in Indonesia.

The boy died one day after admitted to the hospital in the province, said the spokesperson.

Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is considered a possible hot spot for spreading the disease, although the country has culled millions of chickens and pigs.

Indonesia has been at the front row in fighting to combat the spreading of highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses, which have slowly and persistently spread on human.

Indonesia has grappled with major problem on its effort to stop the spread of the virus spread, including huge territory, traditional way of rising chickens on back yard and lack of obedience of provincial administration.
