thanks pugmom, it does look like 3 suspected cases. I wonder why the police officer fled when the reporters came to his room?
South Sulawesi
toggletext from republika.com- “ Bird flu claimed First fatalities in Sulsel “
Makassar-RoL — A student was 14 years old was named Akhira, was stated positive suffered bird flu.
Akhira died on June 24, in the last three months, but results of his laboratory were just known, on Thursday (7/9).
At this time, the health service recorded had 18 patients suspect bird flu.
The sample of blood and the throat bribe all of them have been sent to be researched.
From so many puluh the sufferer suspect bird flu in South Sulawesi, just this time there are those that was stated positive.
Results of the Akhira laboratory were expressed Mentri the Health.
Akhira was recorded as casualties died 48th resulting from the bird flu sufferer in Indonesia.
For the South Sulawesi territory, he was casualties died first.
South Sulawesi Governor, HM Amin Syam regretted the delay produced by the test of casualties’s blood that died resulting from this bird flu.
The sufferer died since three months and his notification just arrived yesterday.
Why did the Department of Health ignore the sending sample this blood, he said.
According to Amen, if since the beginning was informed, then his side could carry out strategic steps to prevent increasingly expanded him this virus.
Amen made a plea in the future, the officials really discipline in undertook protap available, especially from the aspect of the cleanliness.
Akhira personally, one among three insiders of one family that died.
In a period less than two weeks, the domiciled simple family in Street.
Maccini Middle, Makassar, this hatus lost Andri Winarti (17) and his mother Hj Sukria (56).
All of them died after being treated with the complaint and the same sign, namely the fever, breathless, and the chest was sick.
Kadis the South Sulawesi Health, Dr Andi Muhadir said, the hospital side when treating the three patients only took sample the bribe and blood from Akhira.
While Andri and his mother were not taken sample blood and his bribe to be researched in the laboratory.
According to him, although Akhira was stated positive bird flu, but the community might not panic.
‘The’ incident the ‘occurrence late last June, so as to be not done by the step in the isolation because of his incubation period already through’, he said.
However the official was from the South Sulawesi livestock breeding service seen visited the location of the house.”
http://www.republika.co.id/online_detail.asp?id=263832&kat_id=23
So Akhira was H5N1 positive and died with ‘fever breathlessness and sick chest’. Two of her family members were ill with the same symptoms and died, but never had samples taken for testing. I think it’s safe to say it’s very likely that they died from H5N1 too- but why weren’t samples taken?
So Akhira died and so did her sister Andri and so did her mother Hj. The question is: when did the other 2 die? In June as well, was it H2H? I will go try to find more info. They did say the incubation period was “through,” and alluded to the fact this all happened in June. Has anybody heard those names before??
Michelle-I am still looking for more info on Hendra and Gilang. Tried those french links at top of page, but no new info.
Hi Everyone, back after two days away. With respect to the French site quoted at the beginning of the thread. It contains nothing new. In fact, most French sources of information are usually a verbatim translation of news written in English. I occasionally do searches in the French Google just in case, well just in case some birds/farms/humans get sick in France, French-speaking Africa or ex-colonies, but otherwise I don’t bother reading French fora/blogs anymore, it’s a total loss of time.
They are getting ready in Serang/Banten, Java: article dated 9–9−06
Banten Prepare Two RS Reconciliation handled Serang Bird Flu, 9 Septembr: the Health Service (Dinkes) the Banten Province prepared two hospitals (RS) reconciliation to handle their respective bird flu of the regional Public Hospital (RSUD) Serang and RSUD Tangerang…..

Here is a site with links to newspapers throughout Indonesia. It is broken down by island and should help in finding additional newspapers near affected areas. If you are one of the fluwiki newshounds using Toggletext then I would highly recommend checking this site out.
At the site I mention above, check out the “Weather in Indonesia” at the bottom of the page. When it pops up, scroll down towards the bottom. Wow! I think we have found our site concerning weather conditions in every city in Indonesia.
Hi all. Regarding the patients in Palu, I think it is possible that the two additional patients were a part of the 5 which ended up testing negative. I tend to think we should add only the police officer in addition to the five we had already, unless different names end up surfacing.
Regarding the article Mama posted about Central Sulawesi at 14:37, this statement was made, At this time, the health service recorded had 18 patients suspect bird flu. June is before our time frame, but on the other hand, we’re trying to capture suspected cases which are being tested. I think I’ll note them on the spreadsheet but not include them in the count.
I spent some time yesterday trying to track cumulative cases so we will know if we’ve picked up the same number of positives as Indonesia and the WHO. The next time the spreadsheet is uploaded, there will be numbers in the TESTED column and numbers in the DIED column to keep a running total.

pugmom, Thanks. The tally is exactly 90 now, as things are input.
Question for any with medical expertise. Previous discussions have stated that bird flu doesn’t spread easily because it has not gained the ability to infect the upper respiratory tract. If it gained this ability, would early blood tests be negative? Is the article at 20:47 a concern?
Michelle at 20:47. They took the sample of blood on Friday, and one day later they say they are all negative? Strange. Also, I think in the early testing stage, they are supposed to take naso-pharyngeal samples, which can give you PCR results in 3–4 days. Straight-ole Influenza A tests, also done on mucous, come back real quick, like hours. When they say they take blood tests, it always stymies me. I still can’t figure out their testing strategy, and I have read oodles about it and even one article last week I posted written by a doctor on the ground who outlined what I said above. Why is this such a mystery to me? What is in the rest of you folk’s minds?? Serial blood sampling is usually started for antibody testing sometime after the 3rd week. Oh, well, I guess I will never understand it.
Michelle in OK 21:00 earlier in this thread there was a post from Frenchie Girl about ‘’‘puyuh” or quails which she believed had gotten infections in the upper respiratory tract. One of the outbreaks in Durenan involved quails.(Sept 6 post).
Now about the rivers comes this article dated September 9th:
On Saturday, September 09 2006 Disnak maintained KLB The spreading of the Bird Flu Virus Increasingly Merata BONDOWOSO
Excerpts:
Wonosari Subdistrict positive bird flu. Outside that, the Village Kretek the Krocok Garden Subdistrict also terindikasi strong was attacked by bird flu. “In two today many reports enter Disnak, the” headword” Disnak Ir Poniran to Erje yesterday. After in the cheque medically, the chicken talk to that was killed suddenly that was in general positive bird flu.
Currently, Disnak continued to be involved in looking for the citizen’s livestock that was killed suddenly to do spraying with disinfectant anti bird flu. Moreover also made a plea so that the citizen learns his poultry died suddenly to fast burnt and reported him to the official Disnak. Not only that, Disnak also intent to to prevent and anticipation of the spreading of the Avian virus the influenza.
Excerpt:
Poniran also acknowledged many poultries that died but were not reported to Disnak till finally this virus spread to the other territory.
One of them the death of the chicken talk to in the Blindungan District. When the medical Disnak team came, it was reported several the previous day also had dozens of chickens that died suddenly.
In the last three days had approximately 40 chickens died suddenly but not was reported said KH Wahid, the citizen that yesterday his two chickens died suddenly.
He expected his chicken tertular from his neighbouring chicken that beforehand died as a result of the bird flu attack.
‘’‘It was more ironic, dozens of chickens in this Blindungan were not handled specially, was burnt or buried. But was thrown away to the Sampean river that terlelak behind the citizen’s house.
So, Poniran made a plea so that the citizen all along the Sampean river be careful to make use of water suangi. Apart from being spread by the chicken from the broker Poniran mendugavirus the bird flu the ray came from the Sampean river. Moreover, the Sampean territory of the river upstream, in Situbondo also was found by the bird flu virus.
Could the virus was brought the river current.
In the upstream suangi has been found by the chicken that was attacked by bird flu, he revealed. Spread him the flu attack burug same began made was overwhelmed Disnak.
This can’t be good.
It was more ironic, dozens of chickens in this Blindungan were not handled specially, was burnt or buried. But was thrown away to the Sampean river that terlelak behind the citizen’s house.
Bad bolding skills. Sorry.
Michelle in OK – at 20:47
I don’t see ‘upper’ in the translation. Test results negative but uncertainty exists due to ISPA (I think it’s ARDS which means lower).
Tamiflu allocated to 16 districts (as possible precursor to throw Tamiflu blanket?) which means there’s a lot of fear and confusion in the minds of the officials.
Article about the June victims interesting reading.
It was related that the Citizen died It Was Suspected MAKASSAR Bird Flu — the Official of the Marine Service, fisheries, and Makassar Livestock Breeding examined several tails of the chicken in Street.Maccini Middle, on Friday September 8.That was related the death three citizens in one family in Maccini Middle, last June that later was stated positive terjangkit bird flu.
The case of the bird flu was experienced by the family’s three members, H Abd Muin meatballs Pase Dg Bella in a beruntun manner last June.In the time nine days Andri died on June 15 with the sign of the high fever and shivered.By the doctor, the class student Ii SMAN 1 Makassar was stated was attacked by dengue fever (dB).One week afterwards, to be precise on June 22, his mother, Hj Sukria also experienced the similar sign through to finally died.Further the hose two days, on June 24 Akhira followed the mother and his older brother after could be treated three days in the hospital.The three of them were diagnosed was attacked DB. was acknowledged by Alimin, the older brother Andri and Akhira, on Friday September 8 yesterday in his house, if the death news three people that was loved by him this as a result of being infected by the bird flu virus (Avian influenza) or H5N1 he learned from the media.Narrated by the seventh child from 13 related that, that the mother and his youngest child’s brother were attacked by the high fever until dying after guarding Andri in the Barabaraya Community Health Centre.The “same mother of my youngest child’s brother (Hj Sukria and Akhira, red) indeed that was on duty at Andri while being treated in the Barabaraya Community Health Centre.”Just as Andri died, both of them also at once experienced the deviation and afterwards died also.Originally I was indeed suspicious if this the case of bird flu after the three of them died, he said considering around the community health centre of much livestock breeding and efforts of the piece chicken.Apart from casualties died, mentioned Alimin, several of his families could be also run off with to the hospital and were treated in space of the ferns isolation (for the case of bird flu) RS Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo namely Mansyur (the brother-in-law), Umi Kalsum, and Knead (the cousin) as well as A Abd Muin (the father) that experienced the sign like casualties.’
In the meantime, the sample inspection of saliva of several poultries around casualties’s house in the District Maccini the Mother, the Makassar Subdistrict, was acknowledged by the Secretary of the District, Drs Nasri Kadir, as the step in anticipation then.That was also justified by Nurlina, the official of the Marine Service, fisheries, and Livestock Breeding that true had the taking of the sample of several poultries as the step in anticipation related the existence of the case of bird flu that claimed fatalities in Maccini Middle.However the sample of the poultry that was checked that, still was negative AI.
So according to the last article-3 died and 3 additional family members went to the hospital with symptoms. Almost sounds like the Karo cluster. does not sound good at all.
Palu confusion
After comparing what’s been posted with my spreadsheet, I think these are three new patients; the people previously listed tested negative on 9/6/06, so I don’t think they’d be talking about them now.
The police officer probably ran away because people who’ve been identified as being positive have been ostracized.
At this time, the health service recorded had 18 patients suspect bird flu.
I’m guessing this means now, rather than in June—
“The patient’s time came, at that time the condition for the UGD room again full with the other patient.” While being suggested by us in front space and at that time us while straightening out the room of the isolation, said one of the officials. Every few the minute afterwards, the patient that beralamat in Street Setia Budi disappeared…”
They go back and forth between talking about the police officer and the child, though, so what do y’all think?
Ok, the confusion extends from Palu straight to my brain — the 18 people were in Makassar.
I don’t know if I should post what I am thinking right now.
dbg, in the article at 13:42 posted by Mama about Palu, the reference to the preschooler has the date 8/31, and it states the housewife was prior to that. It was for these reasons that I hesitate to add additional suspects. But if most think they belong, we can add them.
Regarding Makassar, I can’t tell if the patients are now or in June. That’s why I simply noted them without counting them at this point.
Influentia2… we’re always interested in what you are thinking. I’m still concerned about the article above which states the entire village has an acute respiratory tract infection.
This patient that fled is a police officer if I am reading this right? Am I?
Yes, Inluentia2, it is my understanding that the patient who fled from the hospital in the article at 13:42 is a police officer.
Michelle in OK 22:49
First I am thinking someone misdiagnosed Akhira in June and then in the article I posted there are nine days from Andri’s death June 15th until June 24th Akhira went to the hospital for three days and died and in between on June 22cnd the mother died. Then I am thinking about back in August I believe one if not both Okki Jelina nd Megi Supatra were misdiagnosed with typhoid. One of them was even sent back to school, but I have to find that in my files to verify it. So 50 people misdiagnosed would be… I don’t even have a word for it. The article doesn’t say they gave them tamiflu but that it has been distributed to health centers. So officials are being very careful in that regard.
I keep thinking watch what they do not what they say. I don’t mean to sound paranoid but I keep thinking to watch what they do.
Now about that police officer did I read that right? If so I may be able to shed some light on that subject.
Well I had this in my files, that is why I wondered if I read that article right. I believe this is the same place.
On Wednesday, August 30 2006 police joined in the Unggas Raid The HAMMER - the Rank Sector Police Palu West continued to help the Municipal Government merazia the poultry belonging to the citizen who was expected terjangkit the virus avian influenza (AI). In accordance with the data that was received this newspaper, already hundreds of poultries were pacified the Municipal Government from various districts in Palu West. The operation bersandikan Depopulation of the poultry was carried out in the area that was expected terjangkit the virus AI. the Radius 1 km from the area that terjangkit the virus became the operation target. The citizen it was suggested gave his livestock willingly to be destroyed. I asked the citizen to hand over his chicken willingly. This for the sake of goodness all of us, explained the Palu Sub-district Head West Anshar Setiadi was accompanied Kapolsek Palu West, AKP Denny Priadi, last Monday. In the operation last Monday (28/8) took the target in the Tipo district and the Nunu district. As many as 107 chickens were pacified apparatus the further combination was destroyed. In accordance with the police data, already hundreds of chickens that terjangkit Bird Flu was pacified for the period four days, on Friday- on Monday (28/8). This material evidence was pacified from the Palu subdistrict territory West. Kapolresta Palu, AKBP Atrial that it was confirmed was separated said ‘’‘police apparatus especially djajaran Sector Police was ordered to help the local government to carry out the poultry raid that was expected terjangkit bird flu. The role of police, said former Regional Chief Police of Republic of Indonesia Morowali, as efforts to help the government prevented expanded him the bird flu illness that has happened in the Palu territory West. We have instructed to help the local government when doing the poultry raid.’‘’ That decisive terjangkit not him not the authority of police apparatus, was like this Kapolresta.

I must work on my bolding skills soon.
and of course chickens in the river near Palu West too, my collection of off beat articles wouldn’t be complete without that would it?
FOKUS August 26
Excerpt:
‘’‘In the meantime, still in Palu, after dozens of chickens were found died suddenly in Street Datuk Lamusu, the Palu subdistrict West, the official again found hundreds of tails of the chicken that died suddenly in the Bongka River road, the Mojuna District, of Palu West. Hundreds of tails of the chicken that died suddenly, have been thrown away to the river.’‘’
It does make one wonder… My brain is off for the night. Two games of chess with my 11 year old used up the last fluttering of sparks (lost one, won one). I’ll have to ponder that in the morning.
I just heard a radio newscast that said “Indonesia confirms another death from bird flu. That brings the number of deaths in that country to 48.” Fluwiki ahead again.
GENEVA, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Exceprt:
One case was that of a 14-year-old Indonesian girl who died in June, whom national authorities announced on Thursday had been infected with bird flu. The case, in the South Sulawesi province, had taken a long time to identify because it was from blood samples taken during routine surveillance of people with mild influenza symptoms. The WHO said she had had contact with poultry near her home.
The June 2005 case was an eight-year-old girl from ‘’‘Banten province who died the following month and was part of a “family cluster” reported at the time, according to the WHO. Her father, who also died in July 2005, was Indonesia’s first laboratory-confirmed H5N1 positive human case. Her one-year-old baby sister also died at the time with similar symptoms but there was no word on Friday about the status of testing on her samples.’‘’ (Iwan)mine The other retrospectively confirmed case is a 45-year-old man from Central Java Province who developed symptoms in November 2005 following direct contact with diseased poultry, according to the WHO. He has recovered

Michelle at 21:00 and pugmom at 21:17, about the blood tests…
Everytime I read a news article that they are taking blood tests from suspect people, or even well people in the community, I scratch my head. Last year when there were human cases in other countries, it seemed that a deep throat or nasal swab was the optimum sample. And here is another clue that blood tests might not be so reliable…posted by Influentia2 at 00:50 -
One case was that of a 14-year-old Indonesian girl who died in June, whom national authorities announced on Thursday had been infected with bird flu. The case, in the South Sulawesi province, had taken a long time to identify because it was from blood samples taken during routine surveillance of people with mild influenza symptoms.
This implies this virus was hard to find in her blood sample. I don’t know whether to say this or not. If blood tests are not very accurate for quick diagnosis, are they just taking blood samples to look like they are doing something? Well, maybe this comment will help get some response. Or this blood test question could be posed to Taubenberger or Nabarro.
This was taken from a post by Anon_22 @ 00:55 today, in the Questions for Dr. Inglesby thread. This is all a strategy…. Clearly this is not happening, and that is why Nabarro is going to Indo next week:

Support a Coordinated Response by the International Community in Support of National Efforts
A series of actions will be necessary to contain an outbreak of a virus with pandemic potential, including
rapid characterization of a potential outbreak, immediate and coordinated deployment of rapid reaction
teams, deployment of international stocks of antiviral medications and other materiel, and institution of
public health measures to limit spread. To be most effective, these measures require international
preparation and coordination. The Federal Government will work with the World Health Organization
(WHO), ‘’‘the Partnership, and through diplomatic contacts to strengthen these international mechanisms,
and we will configure our own Departments and Agencies to deploy personnel and materiel in support of
an international response upon the first reports of suspected outbreaks’‘’.
‘’‘We will also press for the establishment of internationally agreed-upon definitions and protocols in
support of a containment strategy’‘’, including:
• A global epidemiologic standard for triggering an international containment response to a potential
pandemic.
• ‘’‘The necessary actions that should be taken by nations in response to a suspected outbreak, including
prompt reporting of the outbreak to the WHO Secretariat, and sharing of viral isolates and/or tissue
samples’‘’.
• The establishment of an international rapid response capability, led by the WHO but with significant
contributions of personnel and equipment by the international community, to investigate and respond
to the suspected beginning of a pandemic.
• The establishment of national, regional, and international stockpiles of medical and non-medical
countermeasures that are pre-positioned for rapid deployment.
Influentia2 - half the stuff I bolded in the above article didn’t come through, so don’t feel bad, I can’t quite figure it out either.
CG-08:06---yeah, sure looks good on paper. Too bad they are not implementing any of it. Now, there is another problem that Dr. Niman is alluding to and it is this: Indo only has to have confirmation by using 2 of its own laboratories. That means that they are no longer sending samples to outside labs (as Hong Kong, CDC, etc.) That means that there will be no speciments to undergo sequencing. That means, well, you all know what that means.
Pugmom 9:40
I just read Niman today as you suggested. I tell you I am so sick and tired of WHO and the BS’ing.(no bolding on this today:) WHO is just about worthless, that is one bunch that can get me going. I am not a huge Niman follower either and I don’t always agree with him, but at least when I asked him a question I got a quick, honest answer. He may not always be correct but at least he doesn’t sugar coat things.
I can’t even post right now I am so mad I will probably say the wrong thing.
BUT EVEN if “they” did implement anything they’d sugar coat anything “they” release and skew it around to suit themselves. Bunch of $$***$$#@@@.($ signs in bad word on purpose:)
I’m going prep shopping now. Finished with my RANT!
Sorry to rant.
Dr. Nabarro is suppose to go to Indonesia next week (posted by Gojo about his talk with him) I hope he will be allowed to speak freely about his findings. Maybe he will be the one to see and report what’s really happening there. I too am making a trip to walmart today! I have a bad feeling about all of this.
I just found an English language article about Akhira and her family. This sheds light on a great deal.
South Sulawesi
The Jakarta Post- …” The victim’s brother, Alimin, said his family had been shocked to learn the girl died of bird flu.
“It has really shaken us, to hear such news just as we were coming to terms with her death.”
Alimin said the family knew that bird flu in humans caused symptoms like the girl’s, including a high fever, chest pains and shortness of breath. However, her doctor had diagnosed dengue fever.
“But our suspicion caused us to free all our chickens and pet birds and destroy the coop amd cages immediately after her funeral….”
…” The girl’s mother and elder sister, both of whom exhibited bird flu symptoms, died before her. After her death, her father, two other siblings, an in-law and a cousin were in turns taken to the hospital with high fevers, but soon recovered.
Alidin said the family had suspected the three died of bird flu but could not confirm the matter since they were all diagnosed as suffering from dengue fever.
The head of the South Sulawesi Health Office, Andi Muhadir, said it was unwise to make assumptions but blood samples would be taken from the victim’s 11 family members and her closest neighbors…”

Mama, the description of chest pains made me recall an article posted by Commonground at 20:05 (regarding Hepatitis A diagnosis for 20 students.) I wonder if Hepatitis A is a firm diagnosis or if it is suspected because of the symptoms.
…initially he experienced the sign of the high fever for one week. Afterwards emerged the other sign namely nausea and pain in the part of the heart upstream.
Michelle in OK, here are the symptoms of Hep A
from wikipedia- ‘
Hepatitis A is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) and does not have a chronic stage. The patient’s immune system makes antibodies against Hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life….
Hepatitis A is a disease affecting the liver, and caused by the Hepatitis A virus (abbreviated HAV). Only 3 out of 4 people with hepatitis A have symptoms. Those symptoms may include:
* Jaundice (showing up first as yellow eyes)
* Dark urine
* Nausea
* Fever
* Fatigue
* Loss of appetite
* Stomach ache
* Vomiting
I guess the answer would depend on whether or not blood tests have been done to diagnose, unless the patients are jaundiced- which would certainly be a strong indication of hepatitis. Stomachache is a hep A symptom, but you’re right the symptoms from the article sound like chest pains. I wish we had more info…
Influentia2 - please never be sorry when you rant. It makes me feel better. I’ve ranted in the past, and I will again before this is all over. I’m off to a classic car show on a nice sunny day with my Cousins. I’m so happy to be able to do it!!! You really appreciate times like this now. Because you just don’t know how many more are out there with this possible pandemic.
I second that Commonground- a bit of a rant can be good for the soul!

IMO it helps us to know about things like this. Poor sanitation and little or no access to clean drinking water will lead to a higher incidence of communicable disease in the affected areas. Crop failures and livestock deprivation will lead to malnourishment and impoverished communities, making them more susceptible to disease and likely less amenable to the idea of culling their chickens. What a horrible situation for these people to be in.

Thanks for all of the great info. I believe that you are dead on and that we need to know the environmental conditions that are helping any disease spread. Thank you and everyone else for all of the hard work on this thread!!!!!

Blue Ridge Mountain Mom, no problem! Everbody here has been doing an amazing job, that’s for sure.
My big worry is that many cases might be missed, with many people suffering from other diseases. That and the fact that H5N1 could spread more easily is such conditions too.
SOUTH SULAWESI
Makassar, South Sulawesi (ANTARA News) -Vice President Jusuf Kalla said force should be appplied to cull bird-flu infected fowls in order to prevent the spread of the virus effectively.
The VP said local authorities could use the Law on Prevention of Contagious Diseases in forcing people to surrender their fowls to be culled…”
…”He said the government was mobilizing military personnel in bird flu prone areas in the country to cull fowls by force if breeders whose birds were infected with the bird flu virus refused to give up their fowls.
Indonesia has declared the outbreak of the disease in the country an extraordinary case since September 15 last year…”

I’m going to have to officially drop out as a reporter on Sulawesi. It’s usually so late before I can start to work on this that someone’s already found the important stories, so I don’t feel like I’m leaving anyone in the lurch. One of the reasons my time is so limited is also a reason I got to practice social distancing yesterday — I went with a friend for her chemo infusion, and I’m three days into a cold. I’m sure I’m not contagious, but since a lot of those patients have *no* immune system, I wanted to be extra careful. It takes more conscious thought than I expected, but it’s certainly do-able. Anyway, kudos to all y’all, and I hope I’ll be able to be more active when my life calms down some.
Brother of Akhira relating how other family members were also ill article dated 9–906
Narrated by the seventh child from 13 related that, that the mother and his youngest child’s brother were attacked by the high fever until dying after guarding Andri in the Barabaraya Community Health Centre. The “same mother of my youngest child’s brother (Hj Sukria and Akhira, red) indeed that was on duty at Andri while being treated in the Barabaraya Community Health Centre.” Just as Andri died, both of them also at once experienced the deviation and afterwards died also. Originally I was indeed suspicious if this the case of bird flu after the three of them died, he said considering around the community health centre of much livestock breeding and efforts of the piece chicken.
Apart from casualties died, mentioned Alimin, several of his families could be also run off with to the hospital and were treated in space of the ferns isolation (for the case of bird flu) RS Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo namely Mansyur (the brother-in-law), Umi Kalsum, and Knead (the cousin) as well as A Abd Muin (the father) that experienced the sign like casualties.
Gee, I wonder if this is H2H2H2H or merely just H2H2H?????
I think someone on this thread or another expressed concern at the Indonesian chucking their dead chickens out in the river. I knew the EU did an interim study on a similar subject: infection from water contaminated with H5N1 bird poo. I have just found it again, here it is, look at the link entitled “Risk Assessment for human health H5N1 and drinking and bathing water June 2006″ towards the bottom of the page (it’s a .pdf file): H5N1 Bathing Water. Conclusion = bathing or drinking pooed water portends no risk to human health. I suppose this relates to the small viral load with bird poo in a big expanse of water. I don’t know what the viral load would be if you dumped H5N1 dead whole chickens, just how many birds would one need to dump per cubic meter of water to reach a critical viral load of the water, though, assuming still water such as pond, lake or laguna. Or whether the virus would survive long and ‘swim’ in a fast or slow-flowing river, or, for that matter, on the wavy shores of a sea or ocean… in salted water or not…
Or for that matter, if a H5N1 dead goose was to drop dead from the sky into your kiddies swimming pool…
Off to bed now, my mind is functioning too slow, my eyes are crossed and my fingers are knitting.

Hi Michelle—can’t find new summary—has it been posted yet??
pugmom, not yet. I think it takes a while to get everything coordinated.
dbg, we’ll miss your input. I hope all goes well with your friend and that you feel better soon. Don’t be surprised if you see us posting geography questions for you! Feel free to jump in and out, if time will allow.
I don’t know where you are going dbg, but I will really miss you—good luck for everything.
Michelle and pugmom, thanks — I’ll still be around, and I’ll be happy to do any quick research I can that might be helpful, so just give a shout.
South Sulawesi: very, very long article, but finally some test results. (possibility of new case names?) Also, note the reference made to the tip of the iceberg phenomenon.

Is it possible for an updated map with summary data to be posted? That was soooo helpful in putting this all together.
This new cluster in South Sulawesi is as big as the Karo cluster. Here are the facts: 3 died in the family, then 5 other members became ill with same symptoms, but recovered. I had to digest these facts awhile to realize we are dealing with a cluster just as big as Karo. (What was Karo, I forget, was it 7 or 8, counting the buried index case??)
Thank you all — dbg, pugmom, Edna Mode and so many others. I know you are doing this while the dust bunnies gather and the lawn grass grows — but your time now may help a lot of lives (like mine!). Thank you for keeping up these tedious researches.
Further clarification of my comments on the cluster in Sulawesi in regards to the girl Akhira and her family: partial article dated 9–10–06 http://tinyurl.com/mhd52
The girl’s mother and elder sister, both of whom exhibited bird flu symptoms, died before her. After her death, her father, two other siblings, an in-law and a cousin were in turns taken to the hospital with high fevers but soon recovered.
Alidin said the family had suspected the three died of bird flu but could not confirm the matter since they were all diagnosed as suffering from dengue fever.
The head of the South Sulawesi Health Office, Andi Muhadir, said it was unwise to make assumptions but blood samples would be taken from the victim’s 11 family members and her closest neighbors.
The new sheet is posted.
MaMa – at 10:33 …her doctor had diagnosed dengue fever. “But our suspicion caused us to free all our chickens and pet birds and destroy the coop amd cages immediately after her funeral….”
Freeing all the chickens and pet birds is worse than dumping the dead carcass in the river, IMHO. Go forth and multiply…
More on the Mud….I post this most for the unsanitary conditions… http://tinyurl.com/glsm4
If urgent, mud water channeled to Porong river and sea
Sidoarjo, East Java (ANTARA News) - If the situation is urgent, mud water which has flowed to almost all the ponds will be channeled to Porong river or the sea without water treatment but with standard quality, an official of PT Lapindo Brantas Inc. has said.
PT Lapindo Brantas spokesperson Yuniwati Teryana confirmed here Saturday that such a measure would be taken as the worst alternative in an effort to prevent mud water from further flowing to resettement areas which have not been affected by the mud.
In May 2006, gas leaked from a gas exploration rig operated by PT Lapindo Brantas and the gas leak was followed by outpouring of hot mud affeting nearby residence areas in Sidoarjo district, East Java province.
But, she said, if the construction of more ponds which can catch mud for the next several months is completed, the water treatment process runs well and a permit from the office of the state minister for the environment has been issued, the processed water can be soon channeled to Porong river and the sea.
“We resort to channeling the mud water to Porong river and the sea if the situation is urgent, especially during rainy season because if the water in the ponds is not channelled soon, the ponds can no longer hold the mud water,” she said.
As many as 1,400 soldiers and supporting personnel from the Brawijaya (East Java) military command have been deployed to intensively work on more ponds in five villages in Sidoarjo with the deadline on October 11, 2006.
Spokesman for the Brawijaya military command Let.Col. AS Harahap earlier said as the construction of the ponds should be completed within 41 days from September 1 to October 11, 2006, the Brawijaya military command deployed personnel in a great number.
Interesting that they refer to this as Mud…in the picture it looks like flooding….houses under water.
Entered the 104th day, the Jatirejo Village, the Porong Subdistrict, increasingly sank by the spurting of mud. The height of mud reached almost approached the roof of all housing in this village. According to the citizen, sank him this village because of destruction of the embankment in belakan the Jatirejo Village. Moreover, the entry of mud water through embankment seepage that surrounded the Jatirejo Village. Several citizens admitted to submitting by sinking him their village. They worried their village was lost and could not be occupied again because of mud increasingly boasted. However, the citizen continue to hoped efforts PT Lapindo Brantas that mobilised relief whell as the last step could rescue their village. While PT Lapindo Brantas tried to speed up the relief fitting whell. The plan is, this coming September 12 this implement can be utilised to close the source of the spurting of mud in the Well of the Standard Series I. But, this implement could be just known by his success in closing mud in the period 91 days

When the articles mention hot mud that is exactly what it is. They are experiencing something similar to a hot water geyser, but it is mud instead of just water. I have heard it refered to as similar to a “mud volcanoe”. Apparently it is huge and is covering up a lot of land.

As far as this is concerned, the agricultural Service and local regency Livestock Breeding have destroyed almost two thousand poultry and the duck of the chicken kind.
Nevertheless, the North Sulawesi Regional Government was still being waiting for results of the sample of the standard that was tested in the laboratory veteriner Bogor.
Beforehand the test veteriner Baros stated the sample poultry in the Rumoong Village positive bird flu.

Moreover he made a plea to the government to facilitate quickly and exactly would the requirement for the community that was incidental, as well as gave information and the socialisation of cause and effect as well as steps in anticipation of bird flu. According to him, in the situation and conditions like this we were asked to care about the environment including the illness threat that every time struck our life…”
Mama at 12:29… very interesting about the birds in Rumoong Village testing positive. I think this is the same village where most in the village suffered from an acute respiratory infection. I assume the “no entry” policy is only referring to birds.
This website has a picture of a chicken (alive and well) in Rumoong Bawah. I’m not sure if it’s the same place, but it looks rather deserted. Link to Harian Komentar
Michelle in OK - at 14:56, I assumed the “no entry” was also pertaining to just birds.

Michelle in OK, ‘I think this is the same village where most in the village suffered from an acute respiratory infection.’
Do you remember when this was?
As to the other, I’m pretty sure the ‘no entry’ is referring only to birds. It sounds like they’re trying to stop people smuggling poultry into the area. It also sounds like they’ve culled some of the birds there, but as you pointed out, certainly not all:-)

In the compound, there were three officials who were in charge of the livestock, respectively one person was in charge of administration, one official of the food giver, and another the official of the health of the animal.
For each tail of the livestock that was sold, the citizen eliminated at least 2,5 percent sales revenue to help the operational cost in the compound.

pugmom at 18:29… where do you think I should locate the 7 cases? I can’t determine the city, or even tell if it is in Central Sulawesi or East Java, since the article discusses both.
I don’t know Michelle—I think we should just put it in the margins for awhile (cases to be determined area). Too confusing. May hear more later.
Baolan Longitude: 120.8247222 Latitude: 0.9844444 The name of the hospital is Mokopido Tolitoli, so combined with the other place names, I’m fairly sure this is also the one in Central Sulawesi. If you look at the horizontal arm at the top of the island, Baolan (the subdistrict) is at the western end. Rumoong is at the eastern end (which is North Sulawesi). Between those two lies Gorontalo, which I think is still flu-less.
I posted that too quickly; this may be slightly less cryptic. ;-)
pugmom – at 18:29 The food poisoning was in Tuweley District, the Baolan Subdistrict, the Tolitoli Regency, the Central Sulawesi Province
Apart from poisoning, seven casualties that currently is treated intensive in this Mokopido Tolitoli Public Hospital was suspected of being attacked by the bird flu virus.
The name of the hospital is Mokopido Tolitoli, so combined with the other place names, I’m fairly sure this is the same place. I didn’t find Tuweley with a quick search, but if you look at the horizontal arm at the top of the island, Baolan (the subdistrict) and Tolitoli are at the western end (it’s a city on the map, but Regencies are administratively equivalent to cities). Rumoong is at the eastern end (which is North Sulawesi). Between those two lies Gorontalo, which I think is still flu-less.
Baolan — Longitude: 120.8247222 Latitude: 0.9844444
Good work dbg, except I think it means we may have more cases in Central Sulawesi than we knew about. What do you think? It also says they were undergoing “intensive” care, so they may be really ill. Michelle, your new timeline is super—we all hope it is not too much work for you now. The back-tracking was a big feat for you, and so well done. Thankyou from all of us.

Gorontalo the Lack of the Burung Flu Vaccine Gorontalo-RoL — the Gorontalo Province at this time the lack of the vaccine to overcome the dangerous illness Avian influenza (AI) or Bird Flu, the headword Sub the Service (Kasubdin) the Health of the Gorontalo Province Animal, Zuherman Zul in Gorontalo, on Friday (8/9).He explained, that the vaccine that was gotten in Gorontalo was still being very minimal to anticipate the entry of Bird Flu that is numbering 40 thousand doses and was increased by help totalling 200 thousand doses from the Directorate General of the Health of the Animal.

So they may not free from the virus for long.
Folks, please check out this link. It is to an on-line newspaper in Manado, Sulawesi. The opening page will make you catch your breath if you have been a flu news searcher for some time. There are 5 consecutive articles about bird flu. I have only copied a small portion of the first article. Most of the content of the articles relate to tamiflu distribution to various centers and culling operations in various areas of Sulawesi. Rather than posting all of the chicken culling news I thought it best to just point to where the news is and you can toggletext and read it yourself. What is significant here is the tremendous amount of news coverage concerning bird flu. I have not seen this in any other Indo news site. This has these folks very spooked in my opinion. Here is the link to the toggletext translator:
Prevent the Spread to Manusia 126 Puskes could Tamiflu Manado- the Spread of the bird flu virus (Avian influenza) in Rumoong Low, Amurang West, Minsel indeed still from the poultry to the poultry. But, did not close the possibility of infecting humankind if not endeavouring to avoid him. Therefore as anticipation, the North Sulawesi Health Service took the anticipatory step both medically and informatively. Like, distributed the Tamiflu vaccine to around 126 spread community health centres in North Sulawesi. “Each Community Health Centre received 20 doses to on the safe side,” said Kadiskes North Sulawesi Dr Engelbert Pijoh was accompanied by Dr Roy George, Kasubdin P2M, yesterday. “If having the case like in Rumoong Low, his allocation was increased was based on the dose that was needed.” Stock supplies were available, added Pijoh.

Here is more from the first article on the Manado website. Sounds like there is at least one suspect from Rumoong Low, but they have not arrived at the hospital yet when this article was written.
<snip>
But till yesterday, did not yet have the patient because indeed in North Sulawesi, did not yet have the case for humankind. The bed that was provided by the RS side numbering 15 units, was not yet filled up. “Praised the Lord, until this in the room of the isolation that was prepared by us, did not yet have the positive patient bird flu.” But I continue to was in the room continued because of could hear information, there was one patient from Rumoong Low that was reconciled here because of being expected by bird flu. But until this this patient was not seen, said Dr MCP Wongkar SpPD when being contacted by the reporter Manado Post yesterday.

I have read some more from the articles on the Manado site, and I don’t think they are necessarily spooked, but rather the local government is taking the issue very seriously and trying to be proactive rather than reactive. Good for them.
It seems that the illness in Rumoong has been diagnosed as seasonal flu, and the one patient who was hospitalized was determined to be negative for bird flu…
“Not that, after hearing the poultry in Rumoong positive was attacked by bird flu, the Health Service at once opened the health command post to check the villagers. “Until this already 131 patients who were examined by the Health Service and generally them just suffered flu and the cough as well as sneezed normally, did not yet have the indication terjangkit bird flu,” said Kadis the Minsel Health Dr Tommy Kawengian. He added, since Monday (4/8), one of the citizens Rumoong, Galtia Karundeng, that could be run off with to RS Prof Kandow because of being expected terjangkit bird flu, but after experiencing the further inspection, evidently Glatia the bird flu negative.
Observation of this newspaper in the location, yesterday morning appearance of several citizens began to feel very anxious and to question what true the cause of the death of hundreds of chickens in the Rumoong Village because of bird flu.
“Torang asked for the official explanation from the government and don’t this was covered up.” Although, we villagers Rumoong that will suffer the consequences, said Yanti Timbong, one of the citizens. He said, the citizen in guarded I until V already several weeks carried out direct contact with chickens that were sick and that died. Meaning that, big the possibility of this virus could terjangkit to the citizen.
From Okieman’s link above, an article pretty far down with the following heading:\\ Minsel Positif Flu Burung\\

Gubernur: Warga Dimohon Jangan Panik
South Sulawesi: officials now worried the Akhira family is new cluster. article date 9–11-−06 http://tinyurl.com/o3bfz
Liputan6.com, Makassar: the Official of the Health of the Makassar City, South Sulawesi, of the Service just recently, took the sample of blood Akhira of the deceased’s family, the patient that died resulting from the bird flu virus, some time set.
The taking of the sample of this blood to ascertain the possibility of the spreading of the bird flu virus antarmanusia or cluster….
The eight members Akhira that was taken of the deceased’s family the sample of blood among them casualties’s father, the sibling, and the family’s other member. The family was close to these casualties believed in once direct contact with Akhira during the period of his life.
Beforehand the mother and casualties’s older brother who were not yet taken by the example of his blood died in time nine days.
If the three casualties died resulting from bird flu, meant to become the case cluster first in Makassar.
Note on the above article: 8/04 was a Friday, so I’m listing Galtia as a suspected case on 9/04 with a negative test.
This sounds like a fairly massive public education campaign. :)
From an article in the blue sidelines from the Manado link…
The socialisation and the edication of the bird flu danger became the bet for the collective awareness rise. By the capital, the government might not spend the expensive cost, and possibly North Sulawesi will carve the new history: the Area that succeeded in combatting the plague of bird flu only in an instant. For the aim, many for example. Must have been we could not mencontohi the control of hot mud in Sidoarjo that showed the powerlessness and government indolence.
This is an article from 8/23. At first, I thought the 51 person count was a cumulative number. But later in the article, it sounds recent. Let’s hope it is cumulative.
Dr. Hadi: the Number Suspect Bird Flu, 51 people. 2006–08–23 13:32:00. 0 According to Dr. Hadi from RSHS Bandung, to this August was recorded by the number of cases of Bird Flu 51 people that came from the area: Garut, Sumedang, Cirebon, Indramayu and Kab.Bandung.

The condition for the patient who was serious enough this according to the speech on his family was caused after his kept chickens died, explained Dr. Hadi. In accordance with the provisions and the standard standard, the patient that it was supposed terkenan bird flu was placed by us in the special room, that is in Poinciana Tree Space and was handled as it should be.
From 51 bird flu patients suspect bird flu, 8 people have among them improved and three people have among them been permitted to come home because of being stated free or negative bird flu. As being contained diberbagai the media, the case of bird flu that happened in Cikelet Kab…
This is about a (confirmed?) outbreak in poultry - how long until we have people as well?
The bird flu virus was believed in attacked several poultries belonging to the citizen in the Mojorejo Village, the Sindangkeling Subdistrict, Rejanglebong, Bengkulu. For the last two months, thousands of poultries belonging to the citizen died suddenly. This condition has been reported by the citizen to the local Livestock Breeding Service. Officially Livestock Breeding was helped by the special team of the handling of bird flu immediately investigated several poultries belonging to the citizen with the method rapid test or the waste test of the poultry. From results of this test, was found two positive samples bird flu. To reinforce this assumption, the team of the handling of Rejanglebong bird flu also tested him in the laboratory in Lampung. The test showed similar results. More at http://www.metrotvnews.com/
Mentions that Bengkulu is one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia. That certainly won’t help matters.
