As noted above, 5000 Tamiflu tablets were dispatched to the infected area and at least 500 have been distributed (see post #19). Assuming the health authorities are using a single course (10 tablets for five days) followed by a double course (20 tablets for 5 days) in each of the suspected cases, the remaining 4500 tablets will only cover 150 individuals. With 163 suspected cases, the health authorities do not have enough stock of Tamiflu for an effective "Tamiflu blanket" for all these individuals. If in fact H5N1 is spreading H2H it will become obvious in the next 72+ hours unless more antivirals are rushed to the area.

He believes the five village areas, need not be isolated but who still live poultry infected with AI to be destroyed, the residents also called for so as not to come into contact with sick birds.

In addition, there are reminded to do any transactions on poultry from the region, people did not have to worry but if you have a high fever and shortness of breath immediately treated at the health center or local health authorities.

Currently established post AI Prevention and Control District, 14 personnel each day prepared PDSR (Rapid Response Team Survalent) continuously until at least the next 14 days, said animal health Veterinary Public Health Head of Garut, Ir Karyana Dida.

Clean and Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS), stylist laksanaan H5N1 positive poultry carcasses, reporting methods, disposal, destruction of the technical equipment and limited depopulation including doing approach to society, the more incentive is currently implemented, he said.

Re: Indonesia - West Java - Bird flu in poultry in Garut - 14 individuals suspected with bird flu, 163 being monitored

If I'm understanding it well now we have 37 individuals potentially infected with H5N1 in Garut and +163 being monitored. (See post 25)

Reports are not describing a high severity or lethality in these cases, so this might be other disease involved as most of the times. Although, we don't know how a bird flu pandemic will result. Then, tracking the news for possible H5N1 cases in undeveloped nations is vital.

Thank you, everyone!

Yes. It appears some 37 people have ILI and an additional 163 are being monitored. The monitored number is not unusual. There have been instances of an entire town or small island being monitored after an H5N1 poultry outbreak. What is unusual is acknowledgment of the number of ILI patients at the exact same time and location of a H5N1 outbreak in poultry. Whether this has happened before, we can not know because of the historical lack of transparency.

Could that many have been infected from the birds directly or is there H2H occurring?

Yes, it's clear that 37 patients with flu-like symptoms are undergoing treatment in Garut (H5 destected in poultry) and some of them are described by the media as severe influenza cases, but it's not clear what parameters they use to say mild-moderate-severe. We have a significant problem with language used in the media and the lack of transparency in this country, Indonesia.

I'll continue to watch this situation closely as we may be seeing the first efficient human to human transmission of bird flu (H5N1)?

Thank you, Sharon!

People told to be on alert for avian flu

24 Feb 2011

Apriadi Gunawan
THE JAKARTA POST/MEDAN
People are being advised to remain cautious about possible outbreaks of avian flu, especially following the recent discovery of avian flu cases in a numbeF of regions across the country.
In North Sumatra, provincial health agency head Chandra Syafei said a number of birds in Lama subdistrict, Deli Serdang regency, were killed by the avian flu H5N1 virus.
"So far we have not found the deadly virus in any humans," Chandra told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

He said his agency had set up a health post in the subdistrict in case there were any bird flu cases in humans. "If we find one we will directly send the patient to Adam Malik Hospital in Medan for more intensive care," he said.
Other preliminary measures being taken include providing supervision, distributing leaflets on how to deal with the virus and preparing Tamiflu, he said.
Deli Serdang health agency head Masdulhaq Siregar said they were cooperating with the regency agriculture agency to cull infected birds and limit the distribution of suspected ones. Indonesias first case of bird flu was found in North Sumatra in 2006.

In Surakarta, Central Java, eight of the 11 chickens belonging to a resident of Kerten subdistrict, Law-eyan, were declared avian flu positive following their sudden deaths.
"The remains of the infected birds have been culled together with the three that were still alive" municipal agriculture agency head Weny Ekayanti said, as quoted by Antara news agency.

Weny said she had sent a participatory disease surveillance and response team to the subdistrict to take samples and to sterilize the area. "We are asking the public not to panic as the spread [of the disease] has been halted," she said.

In Garut, West Java, five residents of Banyuresmi were reportedly suffering from influenza following the deaths of hundreds of poultry in the subdistrict because of the H5N1 virus.

"For the time being we dont think they had bird flu," Garut health agency disease prevention and eradication division head Dede Romansyah said while visiting the subdistrict on Monday.
"We gave them Tamiflu as a preventative measure because this area is considered prone to bird flu," he said, adding that since 2006 the regency had recorded five bird flu fatalities.

Dede also asked people to have themselves checked right away at the nearest health center should they show any symptoms. Symptoms include flu, high fever and respiratory difficulties.
Banyuresmi district head Aa Hardaya warned his people not to take the H5N1 virus lightly considering that it could be deadly when con-tracted by a human being.

"Its true that so far there have been no reports in the region that the virus has spread to humans but we cannot just take it for granted. We have to be cautious," he said Tuesday.
He added that there was a tendency for people to see the deaths of hundreds of birds in the region as normal, disregarding the fact that the virus can lead to death in humans.

We have no idea if this potentially is a mass bird to human transmission event or human to human. We need the patient list with the onset dates for clarity. Minus those, the next several days will tell us.

Thank you everyone.

Note that in the article posted by Rwilmer above, it mentions 1673 cases of strep throat. Have these been confirmed by testing? Can anyone compare the clinical symptoms of strep throat with initial symptoms of an influenza infection (H5N1)?

Many of the same symptoms as H5N1. Hemorrhages and respiratory symptoms present in many H5N1 strains are not on the list:

Symptoms

Strep throat may be very mild, with only a few symptoms, or it may be severe. Often, persons with strep throat get sick 2 to 5 days after they are exposed to the bacteria that causes the illness.
Symptoms usually begin suddenly, and can include:

Some strains of strep throat can lead to a scarlet fever-like rash. This rash is thought to be an allergic reaction to toxins made by the strep bacteria.
