Korea Suspected Human avian influenza case

"Private salcheobun AI virus' infection bulhyeonseong 'potential."

작성 : 2008-04-22​
Avian influenza (AI) gobyeongwonseong salcheobun operation had been put in doubt AI fever patient due to the AI virus was classified as top soldiers being exposed to a quarantine treatment, but it did not occur, the disease infected with the so-called `bulhyeonseong (不显性感染) 'likely This estimate is found.


According to the Center for Disease Control, health authorities 22 days is separated from the patient's virus antigen gageommul some of the hundreds of thousands of times as a primary gene amplification (PCR) amplification tests conducted by the results, especially type A influenza virus that is causing the craze sweeping classified gobyeongwonseong `The H5-type 'virus is detected.
The AI virus has penetrated the soldier's body, but without a big no harm is likely to mean stepped dow pool.
A patient survey is AI expert "AI patients with the virus into the same thing," he said.
This patient has symptoms such as high fever and respiratory symptoms showed, as a professor at the Samsung Medical Center bakseungcheol Health Medical Center, "the AI virus infection, it is rather than as a separate and bacterial pneumonia caused by the expected" he said.
Park said, "AI virus in his body to come in sporadically, but rarely causes illness," he added.
The patient is currently receiving antibiotic treatment and live a normal life after falling columns can be enough to turn around.
In fact, this patient has symptoms of the flu before salcheobun mobilization in the field seemed likely to be known as a simple bacterial pyeryeomil expected to be large.
Patients infected with the virus, the actual AI make a final decision whether a patient's body for the AI virus found in the laboratory to fashion a gobyeongwonseong baeyanghae The AI virus H5N1, which is the `brother 'to determine whether the procedure.
Whether a patient is infected with the human AI finalized until it is expected to take two to three weeks of time.
The headquarters of the patient's disease management AI participated in the operation salcheobun raised on the farm, fever and muscle pain, such as inhutong Based on the clinical symptoms show that the World Health Organization (WHO) classification based on the patient to patient bunryuhae tracking suspected AI probation.

The above article seems to be saying that the soldier(s) are infected with H5N1 (and lab confirmed), but the symptoms (pneumonia) are due to bacteria. This is a VERY dangerous position.

Staff Reporter

The military decided to cut the number of troops deployed to help slaughter avian-influenza infected poultry after news broke that a soldier may have contracted the disease.

On Tuesday, according to the Defense Ministry, it had already reduced the number of troops from 200 to 100 in Gimje, North Jeolla Province.

Military authorities said the reduction reflects that the destroying work has almost finished, but observers speculate that it was the news about the soldier's suspected contraction of the influenza that moved them to back out.

On Monday, a day before the reduction plan, 22-year-old Cho, who had been working in Sunchang, North Jeolla Province, displayed high fever and other symptoms similar to the disease after having helped bury infected chickens.

The Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs swiftly explained that it could be simple pneumonia and that it would take up to three weeks to identify the disease, but there was still concern the disease could quickly become human-infectious.

``We believe the corporal is unlikely to have contracted avian influenza, but we are taking every precaution with other troops,'' a military official told Yonhap.

It was earlier reported that the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries requested the military authorities deploy troops to help destroy the birds, adding up to a million chickens and thousands of ducks. However, the defense ministry was reluctant to do so, fearing families of the dispatched would claim the possibility of human infection of the disease.

Earlier, renowned doctor Kim Woo-ju of Korea University Medical Center had warned that the avian influenza was spreading in an unusual pattern and added his concern the disease could turn into a human -infectious one.

On Tuesday, two more suspected cases of bird flu were reported in Iksan, North Jeolla Province, with more than 2,500 and 450 chickens dead, respectively. As of Tuesday, of 49 reported cases of suspected avian influenza outbreak, 26 have been confirmed to be highly pathogenic. :tiphat:

"observers speculate that it was the news about the soldier's suspected contraction of the influenza that moved them to back out"

I suppose they wore N masks, instead of rubber/glass.

With proper "oversecure" shields, and decontaminations previous to pulling off the shields out of the hot zone, I think the illness would not gain.

If yes, than we must start to wory.

Military Withdrawal from H5N1 Culling in South Korea

Recombinomics Commentary 15:08
April 22, 2008

The military decided to cut the number of troops deployed to help slaughter avian-influenza infected poultry after news broke that a soldier may have contracted the disease.

``We believe the corporal is unlikely to have contracted avian influenza, but we are taking every precaution with other troops,'' a military official told Yonhap.

The above comments describe the withdrawal of the military from culling operations in South Korea. The withdrawal follows the news on the hospitalized soldier who appears to have initially tested positive for H5N1. Media reports described additional hospitalized patients, but their link to culling operations or the military is unclear.

The poultry outbreak in South Korea is at record levels, and the military was deployed for the first time. There are almost 50 suspect or confirmed locations, and recently plans were announced to increase testing on duck farms. Although there have been reports of H5N1 in dead waterfowl, H5N1 can also cause asymptomatic infections in waterfowl, even though the same virus is lethal in chickens and humans.

However, there have been prior reports of mild H5N1 in Egypt and the H5N1 status of symptomatic patients in India and Bangladesh remains unclear, because most are not tested. The outbreak in South Korea is unusual because the temperature in Korea is milder, but the H5N1 is spreading at record levels and rates in South Korea, raising concerns of genetic change and altered transmissibility.

Milder human cases raise concerns about human to human transmission, because infected hosts are more mobile, leading to more contacts and opportunities for transmission.

Sequence data from the earlier poultry outbreaks would be useful. Last season the H5N1 in South Korea was the Uvs Lake strain, but since that outbreak there has been human to human transmission in Pakistan as well as record levels of H5N1 in India and Bangladesh.

The possibility of mild H5N1 in South Korea raises pandemic concerns and may be linked to the recent decision in Japan to implement a pre-pandemic vaccine program targeting first responders and up to 10-20 million citizens in Japan.:tiphat:

Re: Korea-Suspected Human AI case

Re: Korea-Suspected Human AI case

I think its more than 1 case as this was from the 18th :yinyang: 18.04 09:45 mIGnews.com
In South Korea three additional patients with the suspicion to the bird influenza are hospitalized. According to the communication of the Ministry of Public Health of this country, during the past two weeks with the suspicion to this severe illness were hospitalized 15 people, reported Ynet.
Furthermore in South Korea 11 cases of bird influenza in different economies of the country are officially confirmed. One such case occurred near the capital of the country of Seoul.
Millions of units of poultry are culled at the farms. To their destruction and burial the subdivisions of servicemen were sent...:smartass:so with the new case we are close to 20 suspects here already.No not verified :D

[Eleven cases... It seems to refer to epizootics... - Nine people were serologically confirmed H5N1 positive in ealry epizootics events in Rep. of Korea during past years. None was added to WHO list of human confirmed cases because their illness didn't match clinical definitions for H5N1 influenza (ie: mild, asymptomatic cases). IOH
I don't understand the statement about 'two o three weeks to confirm tests' when it could be enough two o three days or less. Clearly, samples are going to be sent to a foreign laboratory. Rep. of Korea surely has technology and skill workers to get results in a couple of days. It's really disappointing delay.

Re: Korea-Suspected Human AI case

About the NINE people serologically tested H5N1 positive:

(...)
South Korea has never reported any human H5N1 cases or deaths, but in September 2006 health officials said five workers who helped cull poultry during outbreaks in 2003 had antibodies to the H5N1 virus but had never had symptoms.

The 2006 report brought the total number of South Korean poultry workers who tested positive for H5N1 antibodies to nine.

Tests on the workers' samples were done at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Tests have shown that the virus detected in the patient??s body was an H5 strain, according to the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It will take up to three weeks for a lab to confirm whether or not the strain is the deadly H5N1 strain, which has caused massive outbreaks in the Jeolla region since April 1.
The young corporal, identified only by his family name Cho, was sent to help kill infected chickens and ducks on Friday and Saturday. He suffered from high fever and was transported to an army hospital Sunday.
Authorities said his sickness was not related to the bird flu and that his condition has improved.
According to the World Health Organization, only four out of hundreds of strains of avian influenza viruses are known to have caused human infections ? H5N1, H7N3, H7N7 and H9N2.
??In general, human infection with these viruses has resulted in mild symptoms and very little severe illness, with one notable exception: the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus,?? according to the WHO. There have been is no confirmed human cases in Korea of H5N1.
??Following the initial examination of Cho, a small amount of H5 virus was detected,?? CDCP head Lee Jong-ku said in a media briefing at the Health Ministry yesterday. ??Since his condition is normal now, we believe that the virus did not cause serious harm.?? :rolleyes:
Cho had shown high fever and coughing even before his unit was assigned to the poultry slaughter mission last week, Lee said. He added that bacteria caused the soldier??s illness.
Dr. Park Seung-cheol of Samsung Medical Center, who had examined Cho, said the patient suffered from respiratory complications and high fever.
??I concluded that the symptoms were not caused by an avian influenza virus infection,:rolleyes: ?? he said.
The Defense Ministry said all soldiers were withdrawn from the slaughter sites as of 3 p.m. yesterday.

-- clinical presentation compatible with WHO case definition for H5N1 human infection (...Corporal Jo is a member of WHO (World Health Organization) regulations' AI suspected patients' will be included...; post #33); and
-- preliminary tests results detected H5 genetic material in samples; (...Following the initial examination of Cho, a small amount of H5 virus was detected...; post #32);
-- a bacterial super-infection.

No data about mode of exposure, adherence to PPE wearing, and no details on treatments and current health status. Also, the soldier chemoprophylaxis status not mentioned at this point. No data about seasonal human vaccination.
I think the H5 genetic material description is just like the H5 description for the poultry. There have been no reports of H5 other than HPAI H5 or H5N! and the soldier was culling, so there is little doubt that this is an H5N1 infection (although it may be a mild infection similar to infections in Egypt last year).

I suspect the mild H5N1 infections are MUCH more widespread than reported (including India and Bangladesh).

Hi ironorehopper

Hospitals and medical staff have also been taking treatment Tamiflu, in case of any incident. ( post one from treyfish )

So I think the soldier is taking tamiflu, and I read in a post from dutchy that he is taking antibiotics
( The release said the soldier??s condition improved after he received antibiotics and that everyone who had contact with him were also given medicine and will be monitored for 10 days )

it could be an avian flu ( because 2 tests > 0 ) AND a bacterial pneumonia.

You may agree that '60 per cent CFR' is a MEAN value, and it has a relative value. Variables to keep into account: - cases from geographical distinct areas; - infections due to different H5N1 lineages with distinct antigenic and genetic features; - cases detected for several years. Data is not part of an uniform set and should be careful evaluated.
It is also to be noted that recently Pakistani patients were confirmed positive by serology in presence of atypical H5N1 clinical presentation.

Disease Management Division 22 suspected symptoms of avian influenza (AI) in the first round of a survey conducted by soldiers, AI type H5 virus has been detected.

However, the AI virus, the disease control division of the soldiers exposed to the virus but without byeongeneun taken out of the walls, and estimated that the possibility (bulhyeonseong infection).

Center for Disease Control Advisory Committee Advisory Committee Chairman bakseungcheol (Samsung Medical Center professor), "AI virus was detected in primary screening results," "AI, but the patient is infected with a bacterial infection in addition to the possibility there would be progress in mind," he said. In this case, the virus is still in the body, came to us out of the walls.

Disease management is the primary screening test headquarters separated from the patient gageommul antigen gene amplification (PCR) tests have been positive results, he said. Gabriel gobyeongwonseongin type H5 virus was found.

Advisory Committee Chairman night, "AI infection, such as fever and cough symptoms are excessive bacterial infection symptoms," "shallow, or bacterial pyeryeomil, AI virus, a bacterial infection, but in a separate proceeding would likely be separate report," he said. Patients will be put in operation before salcheobun showed symptoms of the flu jeomeseoda.

Chairman of the advisory night, "This is not a result of cell culture hwakjin through the PCR results confirm once again," "The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently a patient's AI bunryusang classified as suspected patients, but ultimately it is not confirmed." .

WHO has finalized the patient in three stages according to AI. AI was first exposed to the virus, symptoms of fever and pneumonia patients classified as suspicious, and if you see AI, since genetic tests (PCR) amplification, and the best AI AI virus positive patients classified as presumed. AI virus is a virus or antibodies final separation from the antibody tests, the increase is more than four times the hwakjinhwanja AI. Disease management is finalized headquarters was expected to take up to 1-3 weeks....

Meanwhile, disease management division, which was put to the task salcheobun 250 people, a medical condition such as a special observation, said medical staff.........

In fact. I've done a list for the soldier almost certain final H5N1 diagnosis. He meets WHO clinical features, laboratory results (although officially stated as preliminary).
