Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in North Sumatra (Air Batu, & Environs) Indonesia - Aug. 8 - Aug. 12, 2008

Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in Indonesia Hospitalizes 13, 3 Suspected Deaths

Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in Indonesia Hospitalizes 13, 3 Suspected Deaths

They usually start Tamiflu right away. Sometimes before the samples are taken. I think we are gathering information as time goes on. We just learned that Rizki Gunawan (5) died on 8/1. We now know that Igo (6) died shortly thereafter. And Misnam (45) was the first to die, and he lived quite a distance away, and had infected chickens.

Our articles have told us the description of their signs and symptoms, including the three that passed away.

Laboratory findings, ie blood cells count, platelets count, serum proteins (albumin, globulins), liver enzymes, LDH (often this marker indicates a severe lungs damage), CPK etc.

Sometime we will get platelet counts, but I've never ever seen the other lab reports.

Link between patients: We will hopefully get that information. I believe that Gunawan (5) and Igo (6) may have been friends. An earlier article I posted, made it sound like they were all from one family. It is confusing.

How can we reach a preliminary conclusion? We must all make our own conclusions.

Re: Suspected Bird Flu Outbreak in Indonesia Hospitalizes 13, 3 Suspected Deaths

From Comm. in #77:

"Ginting said the two patients were handled and examined intensively in the special building of Bird Flu of RSUP H Adam Malik Medan. ?'Tiba in this hospital of the two patients was hot him was very high achieved 30-40 levels celcius, but in a manner gradually the temperature of the body began to descend, he said. The patient, according to him was given by Tamiflu in beginning help and was done by the test sample to the throat, the nose and blood. ?'Sampel immediately was sent by us to the laboratory of Puslitbang Kes in Jakarta. Results were as soon as possible known, positive bird flu or the negative, said Ginting."

Iron., from the above news, only Tamiflu, and in the begining of medical (building site) assistance.

Is Tamiflu enough to reduce fever? Or did temperature descend spontaneously?

The importance of extensive laboratory screening resides on that the results could say about the disease itself: LDH (like SARS thought) indicates severe lungs damages and further a poor clinical course; liver enzyme (AST, ALT, GGT etc) indicate the functionality of liver and if it is attacked by an infection or damaged. CPK indicates multiple tissues damages as well.
Tamiflu may be useful in reduce severity of the influenza but it seems to be roughly able to change the bird flu clinical course, without any other treatment, even supportive...

From the given text is dificult to extrapolate that, but seems logical that if the measurements of the fever starts when he was accepted in the special building site, and after that was released an statement of: "gradually the temperature of the body began to descend",
it was measured through min. few days after Tamiflu.

Because Tamiflu works the best "by the book" in the first day (max. 2), we will know with some probability that the temp. did not descend because of Tamiflu if the patient acception at the building was after he already exibited simpt. 2 days before the acception (during the transport, or at the source site).

"When arriving in the hospital, on last Wednesday, the temperature of the body both of them very high: reached 37-38 derajad celcius."

Hi Common.,

seems that 37-38C wasn't an very high temp. as the news text cited.
Seasonal flu temp is usualy higher: 39-40, if it's a nasty one.

Maybe that 38C was realy in the first 2 days - an initialy setting of temperature, and because of the deminishing quantity of viruses/citokines during the treatment, the temp. falling.

From:
"?'Two the male child and the woman that is Muhammad Sani Mufli to be age of 8 months and Fadilah Hanum to be age of 7 years origin Remote Village 4, Desa Airbatu,39, Pondok Damuli Afdeling,5, Kec. Airbatu, Kab. Asahan arrive in RSUP H Adam Malik Wednesday (6/8) struck 02,00 dawns, he said."

- seems that they are from a remote village.
Is it possible that the family reach, and got, an transport into 1-2 days?
Maybe the translation health team was already on the village previously.

Yes, the various posts text on this thread have various temp. ranges exibited.

The antipir. didn't work even for nasty seasonal flu, I doubt it would in an bf human case (if it's not mild, or light).
Additionaly, what every patient know, diferently from the med. dogma, for chron.p. using antibiotics if the ailments worseness after 3-4 days is better than stay on tea, because of treating the usual bacterial complications.
For antivirals I do not enter for seasonal if not suggested by GP/spec, maybe if a nasty (non-matching by vacc.) strain.

In the case of bf, as learned from scientific texts, because of the citokine explosion after the rising of virus quantities in the body, without blocking or destroying the viruses early, I doubt that the temp. decrease with antipyretics.

On Thursday, on August 07 2008 17:48 WIB Flu currently disturbing! Be on the alert
Bird flu in Indonesia was increasingly worrying. The existence of the physical interaction between casualties (humankind) and the pig, the source of the other infection apart from the poultry, was the new development of the case of bird flu in Indonesia. {The rest is standard history lesson}:tiphat: ...This incident also made Indonesia become the country with the fatal case of highest bird flu in the world. The YANG MEMAKAN KORBAN HISTORY Uptil Now, flu was often regarded as the illness ecek-ecek. In fact, if scrutinising his history, actually since long ago flu has worried. Begun from the Spanish flu tragedy or ?La Grippe in 1918. According to information Dr. Lula Kamal M.Sc., the spokesperson Komnas Bird Flu, at that time Spanish flu that as a result of by strain (the kind/the descendants) the virus H1N1, became the pandemic (the spreading of the illness in several different territories in time that simultaneously) in the world. Flu that struck Europe, America, and the Middle East recorded casualties died totalling 50 million people. The flu pandemic that was not inferior cruel struck the world was Asian flu, with the virus kind H2N2, that the first time was found in China during 1957. As many as 70,000 people of casualties died in America. Hong Kongese flu, the first time was found in Hong Kong in 1968. The virus H3N2 this claimed casualties totalling 34,000 souls in America. Further, Russian flu with the virus H1N1 was found in 1977. There was no death resulting from this flu. Ten years afterwards, 1987, Hong Kong again became the first country the discovery of the influenza virus that was transmitted from the poultry to humankind. From 18 sufferers, six including dying. In 1999 and 2002, was found again by the new kind the influenza virus, that is H9N2 and H7N2. However, in these years was not reported by the fall of fatalities. The restless world when in 2003 suddenly emerged bird flu. Bird flu that also was mentioned A1 or Avian Influenza this, was caused by the virus kind H5N1. Vietnam became the first country that was attacked, with three cases that all of them ended the death. This case then widened to Thailand in 2004, then entered Indonesia in 2005. H5N1, KINI DI FASE KETIGA Proses of the "spread" of "bird flu happened from the poultry to the poultry, the poultry to the other animal, and from the poultry to humankind." From the last case in the Karo Regency, was not yet proven by the spread from humankind to humankind, explained Dr. Lula. Was based on the newest data from the Organisation of the Health of the World (WHO), to May 2006, Indonesia was recorded as the country with the fatal case of highest bird flu in the world, that is 76.7 percent. To be precise, was gotten by 43 cases, and his 33 sufferers died. Whereas Vietnam, the place country of the discovery of bird flu the first time, in the beginning of 2006 precisely was freest from this case. In fact the bird flu virus was easy to die. "This virus died with the detergent syringe and the liquid disinfektan, also with the process" of "ultraviolet radiation." That is why, the number of cases of bird flu in the rain season became higher, because of the condition for humid air, said Dr. Lula. However, be careful, this virus could move the hands by means of trivial. For example, from dirty shoes that entered the house, after beforehand you not deliberate stepped on the area that was contaminated by the bird flu virus. The FLU VACCINE = BODY RESISTANCE Although disturbing, according to Dr. Lula, did not yet have the effective prevention vaccine, because the influenza virus was easy to change genetic material in accordance with the condition for the environment. However, Dr. Lula stressed, for first-rate body resistance, you too much need not worry tertular the illness, including terseramg the bird flu virus. Body resistance could be maintained by means of relative was easy, in part: * Menerapkan the healthy lifestyle: ate was arranged, the rest was enough, routine sport, and avoided stress. * Rutin mengonsumsi food and the drink that contained vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. * Manfaatkan the high fruit antioksidan, in part: the star fruit wuluh, the citrus fruit, and the guava. * Wortel, ginger, and the garlic could give immunity of the additional body. * Hindari the hands often-often touched the eyes, the nose, and the mouth, because the virus was easy to spread by means of this.

Birds slaughtered as flu breaks out

From correspondents in Jakarta - August 08, 2008 05:05pm

HUNDREDS of chickens and ducks have been slaughtered to contain a suspected bird flu outbreak in Indonesia as 13 people with flu-like symptoms await laboratory results.

Thirteen people were hospitalised earlier this week with fevers and respiratory problems after a large number of chickens died suddenly in their village in North Sumatra province.

Two of them, a baby boy and a seven-year-old girl, have been put in a bird flu isolation unit at a hospital in the provincial capital Medan.

"We have taken measures since Tuesday when we found strong indications of bird flu virus in some 100 chickens and ducks in several places in Air Batu village," said local husbandary office chief Oktoni Eryanto.

At least 400 birds have been slaughtered and burned, and officials were continuing to spray backyard coops with disinfectant, he said.

"We don't need to send samples from the poultry to a laboratory because it's pretty clear that the cause is the bird flu virus," he said.
"Preventive action is more important to control it."

A nurse at a local hospital said this week that three people had died in the village with flu-like symptoms, but health ministry officials have not been able to confirm any suspect deaths.

The ministry, which has not confirmed the latest suspected outbreak, has stopped providing regular public updates on human bird flu deaths even though Indonesia is the country most affected with 112 confirmed cases.

The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed more than 240 people worldwide since late 2003.

The virus typically spreads from bird to human through direct contact, but experts fear it could mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans, with the potential to kill millions in a pandemic.

08/08/2008 12:26 of Burung Kasus Flu of Bird Flu in Jadi KLB shavings Liputan6.com, Asahan: the Kesehatan Service of the North Sumatran Province determined the case of bird flu in shavings as the extraordinary incident (KLB) after three patients died and 12 other still was treated. In the Public Hospital of Abdul Manan Simatupang, Kisaran, some casualties were children. Whereas two patients from shavings also still were treated in isolation space of RSU Haji Adam Malik, Medan. Spread him the case of this bird flu made many Air Batu villagers become frightened. As many as 87 houses were left by his occupants who fled. The fear was natural, because of three villagers who were expected terjangkit bird flu died in a week. To prevent the spreading of the bird flu virus, several medical treatment command posts were built in the Damuli Village, Kecamatan Air Batu. (ADO/Tim of Coverage 6 SCTV)

Indonesia slaughters birds, awaits flu tests

MEDAN, Indonesia (AFP) -

Hundreds of chickens and ducks have been slaughtered to contain a suspected bird flu outbreak in Indonesia as 13 people with flu-like symptoms await laboratory results, officials said Friday.

Experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) had arrived in the affected village in North Sumatra to help investigate the possible outbreak and the sudden death of three residents last week, a provincial health official said.

"They will be in the village of Air Batu for two days to investigate the source of the suspected bird flu virus in the area and to check on the death of three people in the village," the official, Suhadi, told AFP.

Thirteen people have been hospitalised with fevers and respiratory problems, two of whom, a baby boy and a seven-year-old girl, were still in a bird flu isolation unit at a hospital in the provincial capital Medan.

Adam Malik hospital spokesman Sinar Ginting said the two children in isolation had shaken off the symptoms.

"The two patients with suspected bird flu have recovered and are in normal condition. But as we haven't received results from the laboratory they remain in the isolation room," he said.

Local officials said work was continuing to sterilise the village.

"We have taken measures since Tuesday when we found strong indications of bird flu virus in some 100 chickens and ducks in several places in Air Batu village," local husbandry office chief Oktoni Eryanto said.

At least 400 birds have been slaughtered and burned, and officials are continuing to spray backyard coops with disinfectant, he said.

"We don't need to send samples from the poultry to a laboratory because it's pretty clear that the cause is the bird flu virus," he said.

"Preventive action is more important."

A nurse at a local hospital said earlier this week that three people had died in the village with flu-like symptoms, but health ministry officials have been unavailable to confirm any suspect deaths.

The ministry, which has not commented on the latest suspected outbreak, has stopped providing regular public updates on human bird-flu deaths even though Indonesia is the country most affected with 112 confirmed cases.

WHO officials were also unavailable to comment.

The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed more than 240 people worldwide since late 2003.

The virus typically spreads from bird to human through direct contact, but experts fear it could mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans, with the potential to kill millions in a pandemic.
