Commentary

The DEPKES links in the posts in this thread are no longer functioning. It seems that when DEPKES shifted to a new web format, possibly based on Joomla, all of the links to the old web site went dead.
<o> </o>
Specific case information about some of the H5N1 infected individuals (in Bahasa Indonesia) reported in this thread can still be found in archived posts at KOMNAS FBPI, <o></o>another Indonesian government agency. The archive KOMNAS FBPI posts, from 2006 to 2010, can be found at this link. This is a link to the original Bahasa Indonesia web pages. There is a button in the upper right hand corner for an English translation, but at least of couple of news reports in Bahasa Indonesia did not make the translation jump to English.

It also seems that current human H5N1 cases in Indonesia are not being reported by KOMNAS FBPI. For concerned flu bloggers, it might be worthwhile to download and capture these earlier, original Bahasa Indonesia news reports with information on human H5N1 cases before these too disappear from the web.

The KOMNAS FBPI project ended last march, a new project started: "KOMNAS Zoonosis". No more updates to be expected of the Komnas FBPI website.

After the transition I did not hear anything from the new Komnas, no website either. I could have missed it.

One of the posters of Komnas FBPI - Andika Pambudi - started a new blog this spring, mostly in Indonesian: http://info-flu.blogspot.com/

The blog is about "bird flu, swine flu and pandemic flu".
