Parents ignore doctors and take home H5N1-infected toddler from hospital [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Multa Fidrus, The Jakarta Post, Tangerang[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Parents of a Tangerang toddler confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza forced the hospital Wednesday to discharge their child, the hospital director said. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Sardikin Giriputro of Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital said there was nothing the hospital could do because the parents of the three-year-old boy insisted on taking their child home. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"The boy is recovering but is still receiving treatment for the (avian influenza) infection," Sardikin said as quoted by news portal Tempointeraktif. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The hospital, Sardikin said, had immediately contacted Tangerang Health Agency and a health clinic near the boy's house that will keep monitoring him and take necessary measures to ensure his recovery. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"We also have a team that can be alerted at anytime to back up the local agency and the clinic," he said. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The boy is a resident of Suka Asih village in Pasar Kemis, Tangerang. He reportedly suffered a high fever on Oct. 22 and was later admitted to the hospital. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Yuliah Iskandar, a local health official, said Tuesday a field examination and interview found the boy's family had raised chickens in their backyard that had recently died from an unknown illness. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]A team of officials tasked with finding the source of the H5N1 virus have examined blood samples from 20 people who had recent contact with the boy. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The boy's father, Ahmad, who works as scrap metal trader, declined to be interviewed by journalists. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Darman, a member of staff at the nearby health clinic, confirmed Ahmad had taken his son home from the hospital. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"They believe their son is recovered, so there is no need to keep him longer at the hospital," he said. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"We will monitor the boy's condition closely for at least two weeks." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The H5N1 virus killed two children in Tangerang in October; a 13-year-old boy, who died on Oct. 13 and a four-year-old girl, who died on Oct. 22. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Nationwide, there have been 110 confirmed cases of bird flu in humans, 87 of which have been fatal.[/FONT]
