Re: INDONESIA - Suspected Human bird flu cases - Sulawesi Island

It's strange--I thought this Reuters article was about the same people we've been hearing about from Sulawesi, but it's not matching up. The six we've been hearing about are from Maros Regency in South Sulawesi. These 5 patients are apparently from Palu in Central Sulawesi!

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=760> <TBODY><TR> <TD vAlign=top> Five in Indonesia's Sulawesi tested for bird flu
Wed 30 Aug 2006 6:57 AM ET
JAKARTA, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Five people have been admitted to hospital on Indonesia's Sulawesi island with bird flu-like symptoms and local authorities have sought funds from the government to help cull poultry, officials said on Wednesday.

Samples from the patients in Palu, the capital of Central Sulawesi province, have been sent to a government laboratory in Jakarta to be tested for bird flu, said Runizar Ruesin, head of the ministry's bird flu information centre.

No further details about the five people were available.

Indonesia has so far recorded 60 bird flu cases, 46 of them fatal. The country's death toll is the highest in the world.

Zulkarnain Hassan, a coordinator at the agriculture ministry's Avian Influenza Crisis Centre, said that there had been bird flu cases in poultry in West and South Palu district and the provincial capital of Palu city.

An official of the agriculture ministry in Palu said the local government did not have enough money to compensate farmers for culling their birds and had asked Jakarta for more funds.

"(Culling) is something that must be done," he said, adding that some slaughtering had started in the region on Wednesday.

He did not say how many chickens needed to be killed or how much the work would cost.

Bayu Krisnamurthi, head of the national bird flu control commission, said the central government would reimburse funds spent by local governments or compensate farmers.

Separately, the government will on Friday embark on a new campaign to raise awareness about bird flu through television and radio advertisements, leaflets, posters and billboards, said Tri Satya Naipospos, deputy chief of the National Committee for Avian Influenza Control and Pandemic Preparedness.

"So far our campaign has been spotty. We realise that human cases have occurred in regions where people are ignorant about bird flu and they don't have the means to support our efforts," she said, declining to give the cost of the campaign.

Experts said public ignorance, along with official ineptitude and lack of money, are hampering efforts to stamp out the disease in the country of 220 million.

Farmers often oppose the destruction of their fowl because of low compensation.

A full-grown chicken sells for 35,000 rupiah ($3.85) in Jakarta, but the government only offers between 10,000-12,500 for each fowl killed.

Although bird flu remains essentially an animal disease, experts fear it could mutate into a form that can pass easily among humans, killing millions.

New fears that the virus had mutated into a form that can easily pass between humans arose this month after a series of confirmed or suspected cases in West Java's remote Cikelet village, where bird flu is rife in poultry.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said there has been no evidence that human-to-human transmission had occurred in the area.

Four treated in Indonesia for H5N1 symptoms

Four treated in Indonesia for H5N1 symptoms

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Four people have been admitted to an Indonesian hospital with bird flu symptoms in an area of West Java that has seen a series of confirmed and suspected cases in humans, officials said on Thursday.

At least two people in Cikelet, about 90 km (55 miles) south of the provincial capital of West Java, Bandung, have been confirmed to have died from the H5N1 virus in recent weeks.

"Three people with symptoms including breathlessness have been hospitalized since last night at Dr. Slamet hospital," said Hendi Budiman, head of administration at the Garut Health Office, the district where Cikelet is located.

"They come from Cikelet. Two are neighbors, but they are not related."


Yogi Prayogi, a spokesman at Dr Slamet hospital, said blood samples had been sent to Jakarta for testing.

"Three people showing symptoms will be allowed to return today. But they will be monitored," he said, adding that the three lived around chickens and dead fowl had been seen.

He said an 8-year-old boy with bird flu symptoms had also been admitted. Indonesia has so far recorded 60 bird flu cases, 46 of them fatal. The country's death toll is the highest in the world.

Separately, a local health ministry official said three out of five people admitted to hospital on Indonesia's Sulawesi island this week with bird-flu like symptoms were related.

"Three are related, they are cousins," said Ida Bagus Yadnya Putra, head of communicable disease control at the health ministry in Central Sulawesi province.

The official said that dead chickens had been found around their homes.

"They came to hospital to get medicine but refused to stay for treatment. They didn't come to the hospital at the same time. Now, they are getting better."

Blood samples from the five had also been sent to Jakarta for testing.

Fears that the virus had mutated into a form that could pass easily between humans heightened in May when seven people from an extended family died of the disease in Indonesia's North Sumatra.


Scientists worry that the H5N1 virus that has killed around 140 people and millions of birds since 2003 as it spread from Asia to Europe and Africa could mutate into a strain that could spark a human pandemic.

Indonesia has seen a steady increase in human bird flu deaths this year and the virus is endemic in poultry in nearly all of the provinces of the sprawling archipelago.

The country, which has been criticized for not doing enough to stamp out H5N1, has shied away from mass culling of poultry so far citing the expense and the logistical difficulties because of the millions of backyard fowl.

Results of the Sample Test of Blood of Negatif
RS Undata were closed the matter of Burung Flu
Sept 06, 2006

PALU - This the news be a relief to after these inhabitants were disturbed by the spreading of the virus avian influenza or bird flu. Five patients that was taken the sample of his blood was stated by the negative after through the laboratory test in Research And Development Department of Health RI in Jakarta. The assurance was produced by the negative sent Kasubdin developed the Eradication of the Illness and environmental Sanitation (P2&PL) Dinkes Sulteng, Dr Ida Bagus Yadnya Putra when it was confirmed this newspaper yesterday (5/9).

"Thank heavens, was based on results of the sample test of blood from the laboratory of Health Research And Development in Jakarta, for the time being the spread to humankind was not yet available." So Sulteng still in the phase Ii, said Dr Ida when being found in his office of Street Undata. Said was gotten by five phases or the stage in the spreading of the bird flu virus in an area.

The I phase, during an area began to be threatened, the phase II when having the poultry that was spread out, the III phase when the move of the virus to humankind, and the IV phase happening the spreading of the virus from humankind to humankind. Whereas the V phase when the pandemic that spread happening. According to Ida for the temporary handling, his side was still having stock tamiflu that was enough. "I already for all to the regency service/the city. Later the service that spread to several community health centres," obviously him.

He hoped for the awareness of the citizen guarded prila I lived clean healthy (PHBS). Because according to him the step most potent for the handling of bird flu was the awareness of the citizen and all the sides to guard PHBS, mengonsumsi food was nutritious, and that best was to guard body resistance so that always fit.

Now the RS Undata side until this was still silent the matter of his preparations anticipated when from time to time the case of contagious bird flu to humankind happened. This was seen from reluctance of the hospital side belonging to the Provincial Government in giving information around the step in anticipation that would and was done.

Director RS Undata, Dr Roisul Maarif that will be confirmed on Saturday (2/9) only says through his staff up to now did not yet have the bird flu patient who was treated.

The same attitude was shown by the spokesperson (the spokesman) RS Undata, Dr Hasnia. He continually refused to comment and be evasive from each question that was put forward. Moreover the spokesman tended to throw responsibility to the other side to speak concerning AI. Like that happened yesterday (5/8). "To the direct director then." Later if he came home to Palu. Or just direct to Dr Farida, he said very fast.

This direct refusal was counted has been his two times. First on the basis of taking part in the meeting to last August 26. On Saturday (2/9), Hasni also refused on the basis of not having the right to give the comment. The change in the management rank in RS biggest in Sulteng apparently closed the public's access to know various information that in case important and entitled was known by the public.

The Head of Sector the Program and the Evaluation, Dr Hj Farida H Ingolo and Dr Ammary SpPD that will be confirmed precisely recommended to Dr Hasnia as the spokesman. "Asked direct to Dr Hasnia." Because of results of the meeting yesterday, he was appointed to the special spokesman for the problem of bird flu, said Dr Ammary when it was confirmed the matter of RS Undata preparations related bird flu, on Saturday (2/9).

The Undata hospital personally was one of the 44 hospitals that entered the government instruction as the reconciliation hospital pesien bird flu. This automatically required the Undata side to be on alert and carry out the step in anticipation in relation to the case of bird flu. Like prepared and renovated repeated isolation space, the provisions of the medicine, and the laboratory. "Yes, we were indeed appointed directly from the centre for that. Has had SK from the Health Minister," pungkas the Head of Sector the Program and the Evaluation Dr Hj Farida H Ingolo.

Re: INDONESIA - Suspected Human bird flu cases - Sulawesi Island

This latest suspect case is well out of the way of the other cases on Sulawesi. In fact it is only 285 miles from the Philippines, while it's 1,400 miles from Jakarta. I've attached a map of the area. Note that most of the points are of interest to me but certainly not necessarily H5N1-related. The blue arrow marks the spot.

It is quite possible, theresa, that the situations in all of the Pacific islands are very similar, and that includes the Philippines as well as places like Tonga, Fiji, etc., especially considering that the average person in each of these places lead very similar lives, with subsistence farming and poultry and swine the primary forms of raised meat, and additionally migratory birds travel between these islands continuously year-long, and each of them continuously trade farm produce legally and illegally--by boat and plane. Areas that I am watching closely in the region, outside of Indonesia are as follows: northern Fiji--with it's recent extremely serious typhoid outbreak; the Phillipines--with it's very severe dengue outbreaks in some areas as well as swine outbreaks, and eastern Australia--with it's large numbers of reports of dead migratory birds all winter and spring.
