Re: Indonesia HUMAN Cases - Feb 4, 2007+

Re: Indonesia HUMAN Cases - Feb 4, 2007+

Noted the comment on blood test fallability.

I would like to advance an alternative explanation

I think we have a new, virulent strain of New Castle disease emerging in particular areas of Indonesia. NDV is known to cause disease in humans, usually from direct aerosol contact (in lab, by veterinarians or handling of infected poultry).

In the cases where families clusters (parent, offspring) were treated with tamiflu, and where disease rapidly progressed to a point requiring ventilllators, survival is usually dismal. Yet here, we have within the last few weeks, several clusters where these patients survived and were discharged. In some cases, bird deaths were reported, but H5N1 in home or nearby poultry was not confirmed.

Perhaps it's time for WHO and the CDC to take a close look at the NDV strains in these Indonesian human H5N1- cases, where bird deaths were investigated, and reported to be infected with NDV, rather than HPAI.

It would be a rather interesting development.

Re: Indonesia HUMAN Cases - Mar/2/2008+

NDV in Humans Info -


"..Clinical Disease in Humans

Humans are among the many species that can be infected with NDV in addition to at least 241 avian species.^1,50 The most common sign of infection of humans is conjunctivitis that develops within 24 hours of NDV exposure to the eye. In the first reported case, it was also noted that the preauricular lymph node on the involved side was swollen and tender. General symptoms of headache, discomfort, and slight chills occurred within 48 hours of the initial infection, but lasted for only 24 hours. Local treatment was used to relieve symptoms of the conjunctivitis, which cleared completely within a week. Virus was reisolated from the lacrimal fluids of the infected individual, who became seropositive within 2 weeks after the exposure. ⁴⁷ Subsequently, reported infections were similar and usually resulted in self-limiting eye infections characterized by unilateral to occasionally bilateral conjunctivitis, edema of the eyelids, congestion of the conjunctiva, tearing, and pain without involvement of the cornea. Rarely, NDV infection has resulted in symptoms of fever, chills, headache, pharyngitis, depressed appetite, photophobia, and general apathy.^50,51 A history of aerosol exposure was associated with most of the individuals who developed a generalized infection.⁵²
Many of the documented cases involved infections in laboratory workers who accidentally splashed hightiter NDV-infected egg fluids into their eyes, veterinary laboratory diagnosticians who performed postmortem examinations on infected birds or handled infectious tissues, workers in poultry processing plants, and poultry vaccination crews.^1,52 The absence of many recent reports suggests that such infections may be commonplace and that when they occur, they are mild and self-limiting.¹ The use of personal protective equipment and biological safety cabinets in laboratories has undoubtedly reduced the exposure of current laboratory workers.
The virulence of NDV isolates does not appear to differ for humans in contrast to the wide difference in virulence for chickens. Experimentation with a virulent field isolate was the cause of the initial human infection, but similar signs can result from infections with low virulence NDV strains, such as B₁, which are commonly used as ND vaccines.⁵³ No evidence exists to support human-to-human transmission,^1,51 but the potential for human-to-bird transmission exists. Because of the mild, self-limited infection of humans by NDV, the risk of substantial illness and pandemics is unlikely. Multiple treatments of humans with NDV administered by inhalation⁵⁴ or IV⁵⁵ without substantial adverse effects are further evidence that the risk of severe illness is low, although low-grade fevers that subsided in 24 hours did occur after inhalation therapy in 8 of 23 vaccine-treated patients. In the inhalation studies, it was also noted that mild conjunctivitis was a consequence of accidental eye inoculation..."

Re: Indonesia HUMAN Cases - Mar/2/2008+

Oracle, I'm not sure where you are referring to..when you say "here"?

Yet here, we have within the last few weeks, several clusters where these patients survived and were discharged. In some cases, bird deaths were reported, but H5N1 in home or nearby poultry was not confirmed.

Re: Indonesia HUMAN Cases - Feb 4, 2007+

Noted the comment on blood test fallability.

I would like to advance an alternative explanation

I think we have a new, virulent strain of New Castle disease emerging in particular areas of Indonesia. NDV is known to cause disease in humans, usually from direct aerosol contact (in lab, by veterinarians or handling of infected poultry).

In the cases where families clusters (parent, offspring) were treated with tamiflu, and where disease rapidly progressed to a point requiring ventilllators, survival is usually dismal. Yet here, we have within the last few weeks, several clusters where these patients survived and were discharged. In some cases, bird deaths were reported, but H5N1 in home or nearby poultry was not confirmed.

Perhaps it's time for WHO and the CDC to take a close look at the NDV strains in these Indonesian human H5N1- cases, where bird deaths were investigated, and reported to be infected with NDV, rather than HPAI.

It would be a rather interesting development.

It may be.

Abstract
An unknown virus was isolated from a lung biopsy sample and multiple other samples from a patient who developed a lethal case of pneumonia following a peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
A random PCR-based molecular screening method was used to identify the infectious agent as avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1; a group encompassing Newcastle disease virus), which is a highly contagious poultry pathogen that has only rarely been found in human infections.
Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of APMV-1 antigen in sloughed alveolar cells in lung tissue from autopsy.
Sequence from the human isolate showed that it was most closely related to virulent pigeon strains of APMV-1.
This is the most completely documented case of a systemic human infection caused by APMV-1 and is the first report of an association between this virus and a fatal disease in a human.​
