Re: Jakarta Cluster

Here is my take of the cases, a slightly different presentation.

What we seem to be sure about:

Two locally confirmed human H5N1 cases that appear to have no connection except that they are treated in the same hospital, Friendship Hospital, Jakarta East. Five suspected cases associated with one of the confirmed cases are also being treated.

--------------------------------------
A. Ramli or Randi or Randy or RN, 14(M), confirmed, contact with ducks, hospitalized Jan 5, improving but still on respirator. Onset of symptoms on January 1, 2007.

Five associated cases: One man/two women/three children?
Sometimes reported as as mother and brother and three neighbors. Ages, sex, and family relationships are uncertain. Ramli may be one of the neighbors. Onset dates and condition not available. All of these individuals, including Ramli, have been reported as being from Rawalele region, Kalideres, West Jakarta or possibly Rawabebek region, Angke, Jakarta North.

---------------------------------------

B. Ria or Riyah 37(F), confirmed critical, and reported as from either Pondok Jagung, Tangerang, Banten or Serpong town in western Java. No known connection to Ramli, the confirmed case above.
