Re: Vietnam: 38 cases with suspected symptoms of influenza A/H5N1 infection in Ha Tinh

I agree. Seven samples were taken, and all seven were negative for H5N1. If I were in charge of testing, I would test for H1N1 next (to insure that these ill people aren't going to co-infect a bird with both viruses). Maybe we should put the "tested negative" into the thread title.

And I agree that 7 out of a different 45 people tested positive for cholera in a separate outbreak.

Of note is Dutchy's post #6 mentions a 30% increase in respiratory symptoms (in people who did not necessarily have contact with sick birds) so seasonal and pandemic flu are likely widespread in that area.

[As of 30 Jan 2010, there were reports of a number of cases (the
actual number has not been specified) of people in the central
province of Ha Tinh who developed pneumonia symptoms after having had
contact with sick and dead birds (see prior PRO/MBDS posting Avian

there is not a specific statement linking the above mentioned
suspected cases with those ruled out according to the latest
