Bondad boy's death a mystery
Flu tests yield negative result [but being retested]
by Shane Benjamin

Herald Staff Writer Article Last Updated; Saturday, May 02, 2009

A 4-year-old Bondad boy who experienced respiratory problems died suddenly Thursday evening at Mercy Regional Medical Center.

The exact cause of death was unknown.

The hospital tested the boy for the flu, but test results were negative, said Joe Fowler, epidemiologist for the San Juan Basin Health Department.

"We do not believe that this was an influenza death," he said.

But as an added precaution, health officials sent a swab sample to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment laboratory for a confirmation of the negative test result, Fowler said.

Earlier this week, the boy visited family and friends in Arizona, said Jann Smith, chief deputy coroner in La Plata County. He started feeling sick with a fever and cough, so his parents brought him home, she said.

The boy was admitted to the hospital at 5:40 p.m. Thursday with flu-like symptoms and died shortly before 7 p.m., Smith said.

While in the hospital, the boy went into respiratory distress, then respiratory failure, which led to cardiac arrest.

"They worked on him for a couple of hours but couldn't bring him back," Smith said. "They really don't know why this little boy died other than he had these flu-like symptoms."

An autopsy is planned for Monday. The boy's body is being kept at Hood Mortuary.

Fowler said the state has tested one other individual for the flu in Southwest Colorado, but the test results were negative.

San Juan Basin Health is not monitoring the boy's family members for the flu, Fowler said.

"There is just nothing about this death that makes us think we need to be watching them," he said. "We've discussed this whole case with state health-care officials.

"We are certainly sad for the family and want to express our condolences for them," Fowler said. "He was apparently a very compelling child, and everybody who knew him is heartbroken over this."

Patients who enter Mercy with flu-like symptoms are given masks to prevent the spread of germs, said Guy Walton, the infection control nurse.

The hospital is equipped with respiratory equipment and ventilators in the event that they're needed, he said. There are even some rooms that have negative air pressure, meaning air is pumped outside instead of circulating through the main air system.

Many precautions in place are the same that were set up during the 2003 SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) outbreak and the bird flu outbreak in China.

A 4-year-old Bondad boy who experienced respiratory problems died suddenly Thursday evening at Mercy Regional Medical Center.The hospital tested the boy for the flu, but test results were negative, said Joe Fowler, epidemiologist for the San Juan Basin Health Department......"We do not believe that this was an influenza death," he said. But as an added precaution, health officials sent a swab sample to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment laboratory for a confirmation of the negative test result, Fowler said. Earlier this week, the boy visited family and friends in Arizona, said Jann Smith, chief deputy coroner in La Plata County. He started feeling sick with a fever and cough, so his parents brought him home, she said. The boy was admitted to the hospital at 5:40 p.m. Thursday with flu-like symptoms and died shortly before 7 p.m., Smith said. While in the hospital, the boy went into respiratory distress, then respiratory failure, which led to cardiac arrest. http://durangoherald.com/sections/Ne...ath_a_mystery/ tks contributor Vinny.

Re: US Hospitalizations:Deaths by state

STAMFORD -- Police are investigating the "untimely death" of a nine-year-old boy in the Cove for a possible connection to the swine flu.

The boy was found dead in his bed at a 69 Cove Road apartment shortly after 7 a.m. Monday, police said.

Stamford police Lt. Sean Cooney said investigators are consulting with city and state health offiicals to determine if the boy's death is related to the outbreak of swine flu.

"Right now, we are investigating it as an untimely death, but with what is going on in the world today, we have to investigate it carefully," said Stamford police Assistant Chief Robert Nivakoff.

Cooney said investigators are still gathering evidence at the scene, but they have not found any evidence of foul play. He said the child may have suffered from some underlying health issues, but could not specify what those health problems were.

Dr. Johnnie Lee, the director of the city's health department, said the city will have no further information until the state medical examiner completes the examination.

Usually, preliminary results are available within a week, Lee said, though a complete report takes about six weeks.

Ann Fountain, the city's public health emergency response coordinator, said the health department is taking every precaution to investigate any connection the boy's death might have had to swine flu, which resulted in one death since national alerts were issued last week.

It is too early to reach any conclusions or make any assumptions, Fountain said.

The epidemiologic study of the outside factors, including the boy's travel history and any underlying conditions, are what concern health officials now, she said.

The city is working with the state Department of Public Health and the state medical examiner, Fountain said.

"We're trying to find out if there are even any indicators to suspect this," she said. "We don't even know if there are any risks."

tks contributor Pooksmom. 5/2 22:35 entry Seven other schools and a children's camp in Washington have closed as a precaution against the spread of swine flu. Two teens from one of the schools are in intensive care, suspected of contracting H1N1.Two teens are in serious but stable condition at Madigan Army Medical Center. The other teen was released. However, tests confirmed late Friday afternoon that the two hospitalized students do not have swine flu.
Superintendent Debbie LeBeau said the closure was a precaution. She will decide over the weekend whether Lakes will reopen Monday. "For me it makes sense to close the school for a day to prevent other students and staff from getting what could be the human swine flu," said LeBeau. "As test results come back this weekend, I will make the decision whether the school will be open on Monday or remain closed." tks contributor Terrafirma

CLEARED Flu has been ruled out as a cause in the sudden death of a 4-year-old Bondad boy Thursday, an official with the San Juan Basin Health Department said Saturday.http://durangoherald.com/sections/Ne...nt_die_of_flu/ tks contributor thebes
A 4-year-old Bondad boy who experienced respiratory problems died suddenly Thursday evening at Mercy Regional Medical Center.The hospital tested the boy for the flu, but test results were negative, said Joe Fowler, epidemiologist for the San Juan Basin Health Department......"We do not believe that this was an influenza death," he said. But as an added precaution, health officials sent a swab sample to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment laboratory for a confirmation of the negative test result, Fowler said. Earlier this week, the boy visited family and friends in Arizona, said Jann Smith, chief deputy coroner in La Plata County. He started feeling sick with a fever and cough, so his parents brought him home, she said. The boy was admitted to the hospital at 5:40 p.m. Thursday with flu-like symptoms and died shortly before 7 p.m., Smith said. While in the hospital, the boy went into respiratory distress, then respiratory failure, which led to cardiac arrest. http://durangoherald.com/sections/Ne...ath_a_mystery/ tks contributor Vinny.
