Initial tests on woman from Lop Buri positive for bf
Initial tests on woman from Lop Buri positive for bf
Hat-tip, SolitaireUK!
Migrating southward
Health authorities keep watchful eye on Central plains after woman falls sick
August 03, 2006
The bird-flu epidemic seems to be spreading south as a suspected case was reported yesterday in the lower Central region.
The patient was identified as a 61-year-old woman in Lop Buri's Sa Bot district who fell ill with bird-flu-like symptoms soon after her backyard chickens all suddenly dropped dead.
She had initially tested positive for avian influenza and was being treated in an isolation ward pending confirmation from laboratory tests, said Dr Charn Tantiwa-raporn, director of Ban Mi Hospital, where the victim was admitted on Tuesday.
After being notified about the case, provincial livestock authorities rushed to the woman's home to check for bird flu.
District chief Somsak Intra-watana said he had ordered an urgent cull of all poultry in the province after being notified by the livestock authorities.
This district did not have many chicken farms and most of the poultry were fighting cocks and native hens, he said.
Although denying the existence of bird flu in Sa Bot district, provincial livestock chief Jintana Danwiwatporn said experts were coordinating with other agencies in dealing with hundred of thousands of migratory birds.
Along with warning against cooking and eating sick poultry, the Public Health Ministry was distributing some 100,000 manuals designed to educate the public about bird flu and ways to prevent infections, said Dr Narongsak Ungkhasuwaphala, the ministry's deputy permanent secretary.
Caretaker Deputy Minister Anutin Charnveerakul said that as of Tuesday, 144 patients from 24 provinces, mostly in the North, had been put on the watch-list for bird flu.
The government had stocked up on enough oseltamivir - three million doses - to cover this year, he said. The anti-viral drug can treat bird-flu patients if administered in time.
Two more suspected human cases were found in Phichit, where the first case of human bird flu was recently confirmed. Phetchabun also reported four cases and Phitsanulok three cases.
Nakhon Phanom Governor Mongkol Tansuwan said he had sent a letter to the governor of Khammouane in Laos explaining media reports that blamed that country for starting the bird-flu epidemic that was passed over the border to the province in the Northeast.

Re: Thailand 8/02 -
Re: Thailand 8/02 -
So the 61 yr. old initially was tested positive (nasal swab?) but are awaiting lab results (blood sample?)
And then the 144 suspected cases, minus the 111 in Province Nakhon Phanom, right? Seems like Phichit has traded places with Nakhon Phanom, as far as suspects goes. Unless I've got it wrong.

Re: Thailand 8/02 -
No -- I don't think these 111 from Nakhon Phanom are included in the 144 total from around the country. I think these are additional folks just being watched in case they develop any symptoms -- they don't have any at this point -- just have had contact with sick/dead poultry somehow.Commonground said:

Right, I know there's not anyone confirmed. But thanks for the clarification that it is in addition to the 144. So it's around 255 people they are monitoring.

Re: Thailand 8/02 -
That's my impression -- the 144 total from around the country are people with flu-like symptoms who have had contact with poultry ... the additional 111 from Nakhon Phanom are folks who have had contact with sick/dead poultry, but have no symptoms -- villagers with sick/dead chickens, soldiers who have been (presumably) culling, people collecting samples, etc.Commonground said:

I second the kudos to all you do here for us. You obviously put in many hours daily (beginning to think you live here 24/7) to keep us informed.
And I really appreiciate the link to the map to Lop Buri. you make it so much easier to keep up to date, that those who are not ....well, it's their own fault.
Also, thanks to all for the leeway given me during my own personal
moments when I saw where this was going. I took some time away, hopefully before i really made a pain of myself , and I feel better now....well, i'm in better control anyway.

H5N1 Confirmed Patient in Lop Buri Thailand
Recombinomics Commentary

After being notified about the case, provincial livestock authorities rushed to the woman's home to check for bird flu.
The above case is the second H5N1 bird flu positive case in Thailand. The initial fatal case was in Pichit. A large number of patients with symptoms have been hospitalized. However, the above case is the first reported positive since the fatal case in Pichit. This case was in Lop Buri, indicating the H5N1 is spreading.
The earlier case was near the Laotian border, where there have been reported outbreaks in poultry. Earlier this year H5N1 was isolated in Laos and Malaysia. The H5N1 was the Fujan strain, which has been responsible for all reported human cases in China. The Fujian strain is a Clade 2 strain, which is distinct from the Clade 1 isolates detected in Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia patients in the past.
Movement of the Fujian strain into Thailand is cause for concern. More details on the H5N1 identified previously in patients or poultry would be useful.

CHACHOENGSAO, Aug 3 (TNA) - Two patients, hospitalised for human flu in a state hospital here, were put in an isolation ward on suspicion of having bird flu as doctors conducted laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis, a senior health official said Thursday.
Dr. Thawat Suntrajarn, director of the Department of Disease Control, said that after earlier tests confirmed an infection of human influenza, doctors at Ban Pho Hospital isolated the two patients in a closed-circuit television equipped camera to monitor for bird-flu related symptoms around the clock.
''Because they are having a human influenza, further tests are need to confirm what type of the human flu virus they have and whether they also have bird flu,'' Dr. Thawat said.
The patients' names were not released by officials but they were referred to as a 17-year-old youth and a 42-year-old woman. Dr. Thawat said the young man had touched ducks as both he and the woman worked in a duck slaughterhouse in the eastern province of Chachoengsao, not far from Bangkok.
A local livestock official said the province has raised some 5 million chickens in farms but no bird flu outbreak has been reported in local poultry.
According to Dr. Kasiwat Sripradit, the hospital director, the two patients were admitted with high fever and bad cough.
He said that doctors and clinical technicians found no evidence of infection in their lungs, such as the pneunomia-like symptoms suffered by bird flu patients, and their temperatures have gradually reduced.
''We have only 70 tablets of Tamiflu in our drug stockpile. A suspected bird flu patient needs two tablets a day for five consecutive days. If we run out we still could get more supply within an hour from nearby hospitals,'' Dr. Kasiwat said.
Ban Pho Hospital has also set up special teams of doctors and medical staff to deal with suspected cases of bird flu and a drill is planned for September to test their readiness, said the doctor.
Thailand recently confirmed an emergence of bird flu which last week killed a teenage boy in the northern province of Phichit. He became the country's 15th victim of bird flu since early this year.
Officials said of 144 patients currently listed throughout Thailand, about 70 of them live in Phichit and were awaiting tests for bird flu. Other 74 patients live in Sukhothai and Suphanburi.
An outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu virus was also confirmed in the country's northeastern border province of Nakhon Phanom where some 765 people remain under close observation for possible avian influenza infection after close contact with infected birds.
Local officials said some 300,000 commercially-farmed chickens were culled last Sunday in an attempt to contain the outbreak. (TNA)-E110

Suspected bird flu patient, Kaewtip Chiang-in, died in Lop Buri
Suspected bird flu patient, Kaewtip Chiang-in, died in Lop Buri
Suspected bird flu patient died in Lop Buri
LOPBURI, Aug 3 (TNA) ? A nine-year-old girl, suspected of having bird flu, was pronounced dead Thursday, one day after being admitted to a hospital in this central province, according to a health official.
The body of Kaewtip Chiang-in was kept at the hospital awaiting a lab test to determine if she was infected with bird flu.
The girl suffered from fever, sore throat and severe cough for two days. She was rushed to the hospital after having breathing difficulties.
Her family raises about 20 fighting cocks.
Provincial health officials had inspected her house and nearby areas although none of the fighting cocks died of any unknown cause.
In the northern province of Nan, four suspected bird flu cases were reported and officials are waiting from their lab test results.
Meanwhile, Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan said Thailand would jointly discuss with officials of neighboring countries on measures to control bird flu disease.
The ministry will also hold a meeting of livestock officials in 21 at-risk provinces on Saturday to thrash out measures to prevent bird flu.
