I interpret the post to say that the commune that Mui Tai Ly lived in consisted of 13 household, 11 of which were immediately adjacent to her household. Between Jan 27 and Feb 7, a number of chickens died in the commune and that Mui Tai Ly and possibly 10 other family members consumed some of these chickens. The households were sprayed and samples were collected from 9 other inidividuals who had direct contact with the infected woman.

VIETNAM: Second case of human avian influenza as bird infections spread

<!-- AN5.0 article title end --><SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/bin/js/article.js"></SCRIPT></SPAN><INPUT id=CurrentSize type=hidden value=13 name=CurrentSize> <!-- VIETNAM: Second case of human avian influenza as bird infections spread --><!-- IRIN -->HANOI, 11 February 2009 (IRIN) - Vietnam's second human avian influenza case this year has been confirmed by health authorities, who are scrambling to contain the disease that has now spread to poultry in seven central and southern provinces.
Ly Tai Mui, from northern Quang Ninh Province, is seriously ill with pneumonia, having tested positive for human avian flu. The 23-year-old was hospitalised with fever and breathing difficulties in January after eating a sick chicken.
Nguyen Huy Nga, head of the Preventative Health and Environment Agency, told IRIN the woman had shown "no improvement despite continuous positive treatment".
Nga said no other family members had shown signs of the virus even though they had also eaten infected poultry.
Vaccination efforts have become lax because Vietnam had, until recently, considered itself bird flu-free. Farmers have also delayed reporting outbreaks. In one case a crowd tried to prevent authorities from culling birds that were being transported to the capital and lacked proper health certificates.
"Hundreds of people were trying to grab the chickens," said Nguyen Huy Dang, a senior official with Hanoi's Animal Health Department. "They jumped into the pit where we were burning the [live] birds, even after we told them they had been sprayed with chemicals."
Animal health officials and market workers were unable to stop the crowds, which eventually made off with nearly all 1,500 birds. Police arrested nine people for trying to stop the cull.
"We never expected anything like that to happen," said Dang. "It's never happened before so we didn't have the personnel to prevent it."
Complacency
Vietnam has made impressive gains against avian influenza since the virus first appeared in the county in December 2003 [see: http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/country/en/].
After several dozen people died, the government decided in 2005 to vaccinate all 220 million domestic fowl, according to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization.
Today, however, vaccination efforts are not as rigorous as when the programme was first introduced. Compliance was initially very high as farmers were terrified their flocks would become sick and be culled. But the success of the programme has also bred complacency.
Tran Cong Xuan, head of the Vietnam Poultry Association, said vaccination programmes this year had been patchy. "In some areas officials have not carried out vaccinations properly, and some localities report fake vaccination results as they want to report achievements."
Animal health officials in the southern province of Hau Giang said the recent outbreak of bird flu there was due to several farmers failing to register their ducks so the birds were never vaccinated.
"When we learned there were ducks dying, we came, but there were only 212 ducks left [out of about 400]," said Nguyen Hien Trung, head of the provincial animal health department. The rest of the ducks had died, said Trung. "The owners of the farm said they just threw the dead ducks into the river."
The first human case of bird flu in Vietnam in 2009 was of an eight-year-old girl in northern Thanh Hoa province. She eventually recovered but her older sister, who showed symptoms of the virus, died on 2 January. The girl was never tested for H5N1.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the avian influenza virus is transmitted to humans by eating uncooked meat or coming into contact with the faeces of an infected bird. Cases of human-to-human transmission are very rare but health authorities fear the virus could mutate into a form that could spread easily between people, developing into a pandemic strain that could move between countries.

Third bird flu case this year in Vietnam
Health News
Feb 16, 2009, 1:36 GMT
Hanoi - A Vietnamese man has tested positive for the H5N1 avian influenza virus, the third confirmed case of bird flu in Vietnam this year, hospital sources said Monday.
The patient is a man in his 30s from the province of Ninh Binh, 100 kilometres south of Hanoi. Doctors at Hanoi's Hospital for Infectious and Tropical Diseases said he had been hospitalized for five days with high fever and respiratory difficulties, and had tested positive for bird flu on Saturday.
The patient's condition was reportedly less severe than earlier cases this year in Vietnam, but worsening.
Vietnam's first confirmed human case of bird flu this year was a 13-year-old girl from Thanh Hoa province, 150 kilometers south of Hanoi. The girl's older sister died on January 2 after displaying symptoms consistent with bird flu, but was not tested for the virus.
A 23-year-old woman in Quang Ninh province, 150 kilometres west of Hanoi, has been hospitalized with bird flu since February 3 after eating the meat of a sick chicken.
Avian influenza has infected 106 people in Vietnam and killed 52 since it first appeared in the country in late 2003.
The disease is usually spread by contact between sick birds and humans, but scientists fear that the virus could mutate into a form that is easily transmissible among humans and spark a global pandemic that could kill millions.

Vietnam Reports 3rd Human Bird Flu Case This Year
Foreign 2009-02-16 14:13
HANOI, VIETNAM: A Vietnamese man has tested positive for bird flu, the third confirmed infection by the deadly H5N1 virus in the Southeast Asian country this year, health officials said Monday (16 Feb).
The 35-year-old man from northern Ninh Binh province, some 60 miles (100 kilometers ) south of Hanoi, developed a high fever on 5 Feb after slaughtering and eating several ducks his family had raised, said Vu Van Can, deputy director of the provincial health department.
The man was admitted to the National Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Hanoi on Friday (13 Feb), where he tested positive to the H5N1 virus, Can said. The rest of his family tested negative.
Vietnam has seen two other bird flu cases this year, neither of them fatal.
Bird flu has killed 52 people in Vietnam, including five last year, since it began raging through Asian poultry stocks in late 2003. However, there have been fewer human cases since Vietnam began an aggressive vaccination program in domestic flocks.
The H5N1 strain has killed at least 254 people worldwide since 2003, most through contact with sick birds. The virus remains difficult for humans to catch, but scientists are monitoring it because of its potential to mutate into a new human influenza strain, which could infect millions. (AP)

HANOI, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) --
A 32-year-old man from Vietnamese northern Ninh Binh Province has been tested positive to the H5N1 virus, an official from the Vietnamese Ministry of Health (MOH) told Xinhua on Monday. The patient, named Cu Van Chieu, is the third bird flu patient in Vietnam this year, said the official with the Preventative Health Department under the MOH.
He was taken to hospital on Feb. 13 with severe breathing difficulty. He had contact with fowls before developing bird flu symptoms, said the official.
The patient is currently treated at Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology.
So far, seven provinces of Vietnam nationwide have been hit by the avian flu, including three provinces in Mekong Delta, namely Ca Mau, Soc Trang and Hau Giang, two northern provinces of newly-confirmed Bac Ninh and Quang Ninh, and two central provinces of Nghe An and the newly-confirmed Quang Tri, said the Department of Animal Health of Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The reemergence of bird flu has led to the culling of thousands of fowls in Vietnam this year.
Bird flu is spreading wide in Vietnam with complicated developments. The already-confirmed infected province Mekong Deltaof Soc Trang has reported more local poultry farms struck by bird flu, said the Vietnam News Agency on Monday.
Vietnam has reported three human cases of bird flu so far this year. They are an eight-year-old girl from northern Thanh Hoa province in early January, a 23-year-old woman Ly Tai Mui from northern Quang Ninh province in early February and the newly-confirmed man Cu Van Chieu.
The 23-year-old woman Ly Tai Mui has shown slow recovery as she is still suffering severe respiratory illnesses, according to a recent state-run news program by the Vietnam Television Station.
In 2008, bird flu killed five people in Vietnam.

The 32-year-old man from Kim Son district in the northern province of Ninh Binh, about 100 km (62 miles) south of Hanoi, had slaughtered and eaten poultry about two weeks before developing flu infection, the Dan Tri (www.dantri.com.vn) quoted health officials as saying.
They also said his family's poultry also died from unknown reasons.
On Tuesday Vietnam's Animal Health Department said there were still seven provinces including Bac Ninh and Quang Ninh in the north and several Mekong Delta provinces affected by the latest recurrence of the bird flu outbreak in poultry. Last week the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed a 23-year-old Vietnamese woman from the northern province of Quang Ninh also had bird flu. She is known to have had contact with sick and dead poultry before falling ill, the WHO said. Avian influenza has affected millions of birds around the world, particularly in East Asia, and can be caught by humans who come into contact with infected birds -- an ever-present danger in some societies where people keep poultry in the yards of their homes or live close to food markets.
