Friday, 22 August 2008 16:38 WIB

Import sugar from Thailand that circulated in the Medan City market it was suspected came from sugar selundupan entered illegally through the Langsa Port, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD). According to information was received from Belawan, on Thursday (21/8), at this time the port that was serious towards the entry of illegal imports was Langsa. The region was waters was very strategic came directly face to face with outside countries. Whereas information from several captains of the ship that leant in the Belawan Port said, the Langsa Port at this time was proper for the Balai Cape port at that time. Many dark ships entered the region and unloaded strategic things valuable high. The Langsa region beforehand indeed became the alternative port and currently increasingly bright after the other main gate region was tightened by his supervision like Tanjungbalai, North Sumatra, said the captain of the ship.

Saw his location was very strategic and still close to Medan, was believed in import sugar of the production of the country siam that circled many in this market of the end end entered through the port, explained the source. It is not impossible that not only granulated sugar that was brought entered these illegal thing financiers, but the other thing also the big possibility slipped off sincerely. As in the case of granulated sugar that at this time menumpuk in warehouses of Street Cemara, the amount was quite often and still equipped the sack that was inscribed with the Thai script. Granulated sugar at this time was the promising commodity to be marketed, because of being available staple supplies during Ramadhan. Thai import granulated sugar that circulated in this market was believed in illegal was strengthened from the policy of the Industry and the North Sumatran Trade that only recommended the channelling of limited inter-island sugar of the Service (PGAPT) as big as 139.567 ton.

Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in North Sumatra (Air Batu, & Environs) Indonesia

This last article appears to indicate that the dengue patients being admitted are being diagnosed on the basis of clinical presentation, rather than a positive diagnostic test. In an area with a confirmed outbreak of H5N1 in birds, this is concerning. They also do not appear to be indicating a mortality rate.

Confirmation of current treatment protocols and mortality rate of DBD patients within the hospital would be helpful.

A first child died without knowing which was the cause and then the 5 members of his family initially treated with the RSU Pakam then in Adam Malik de Medan. And finally a few days later, another child who was not this family.

This is my dilemma. I am having trouble figuring out this "Datuk Bander". It is listed with a "Kec" which is suppose to mean Sub-district. But it is not listed in Asahan Regency as such.
"Kel" is a small village, but has less power than a village. It is part of a sub-district.
So I guess my question is...what subdistrict are these people from?:

Tita Anggie (10) From: Jalan Rukun,* Kel. Bunga Tanjung, Kec Datuk Bandar Timur

I haven't idea if these informations could be useful for this thread.

ASEAN+3 posted an update of the epi-surveillance in Singapore for week 33/2008 (http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=175307&postcount=1 and http://www.aseanplus3-eid.info/newsread.php?nid=71&node=2&gid=2).

-- Dengue fever / Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever:
2008/33: 133 (DF) / 0 (DHF) - Cumulative first 33 weeks of 2008: 3806 (DF) / 58 (DHF)
2007/33: 236 (DF) / 5 (DHF) - Cumulative first 33 weeks of 2007: 5743 (DF) / 141 (DHF)

-- Upper Respiratory Tract Infections: Wk33/2008: 12,167 (at Polyclinics attendances).

The question: are there geographical/economical/demographic connections/contiguity between Indonesia and Singapore with shared epidemiological/vectorial distribution of dengue fever / URI?

Could these connections - if exist - explain the current DF / DHF outbreaks in Sumatra provinces?
 
Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in North Sumatra (Air Batu, & Environs) Indonesia

Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in North Sumatra (Air Batu, & Environs) Indonesia

IOH: I am thinking along the same lines. Thanks for the links.

I am also very curious as to WHY these Dengue cases are all children???

The disease cannot spread from person to person directly, though mosquitoes become infected by drawing blood from an infected person and then pass the virus along.

The disease typically manifests itself with a high fever, severe headache, back ache, joint pains, nausea and vomiting, eye pain and rash. Younger children generally get off with milder disease than older children and adults.

There are no antiviral drugs to combat the virus. But with good "supportive care,'' -- which largely involves replacing of lost fluids -- the vast majority of people will survive. The earlier treatment is started, however, the better.
