Bird flu suspected in child's death in Medan
Apriadi Gunawan, The Jakarta Post, Medan

A 6-year-old child, suspected of being infected with the deadly avian flu virus, died at Adam Malik Hospital in Medan, North Sumatra, a hospital director said on Thursday.

M. Nur Rasyid Lubis, deputy director of the hospital, said the child had been treated at the hospital for two days.

The child died at 1 a.m. Wednesday morning with a temperature of 39 degrees, after experiencing breathing difficulties, coughing and loss of appetite, he added.

The victim was previously admitted to a private hospital near his home. However, because his condition did not improve, he was transferred to Adam Malik Hospital, Rasyid said.

A member of his family said the child experienced a high fever for two weeks, following the death of a number of chickens around his house.

Rasyid said more tests were needed to officially determine whether the boy's death was caused by avian flu.

The head of the North Sumatra Health Office, Fatni Sulani, said his office had sent a blood sample from the victim to a laboratory in Jakarta to help determine the cause of death.

"We need to wait three days before we can see the test results," Fatni said, adding the death could have been caused by other illnesses.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said during a visit to Medan on Thursday, she had not received any information on the death of the suspected bird flu patient.

The minister said the number of deaths in the country due to avian flu had reached 55 out of a total of 74 bird flu cases.

Siti Fadilah said the spread of bird flu in Indonesia was unique, as the causes of the spread differed from one place to the other.

"After appearing in Karo (a regency in North Sumatra), where the virus was spread by wild birds, it reappeared in Tangerang, Java, where it was spread by contact between wild birds and domestic poultry," she said.

"This means as long as we cannot control the migration of birds, it will be very difficult to stop the spread of the virus," Siti Fadilah said.

The minister reiterated that if in a certain region local poultry was found to have the virus, the local administration had to make a quick decision to cull the infected chickens. A fast decision was needed because the infected chickens could transfer the virus to humans, she said.

According to the World Health organization, bird flu remains essentially an animal disease but it has infected more than 250 people worldwide since late 2003, killing more than 150, Reuters reported.

The country has become one of the frontlines in the battle against the disease. No country has suffered from more deaths than this 17,000 islands country where millions of chickens roam backyards freely.

Despite the rise in the human death toll, the government has resisted mass culling of birds, citing the expense and impracticality in a sprawling, populous country where many people are still unperturbed by the bird flu threat.
