Sorry—I was out of commission yesterday and expect to be part of today. The articles on the pigs sound like they know more than we do. They seem to be inferring that the infectiousness may have increased. I wonder what they allude to and how they know it? The other day I posted an article where it said that when they dissected an H5N1 infected pig, they found NO H5N1 in the tissues at all, only some splotches on its spleen. That led me to believe that maybe there was no infectious agent in their snout or lungs, etc.ie, good news. PS—thanx for new summary Michelle.

Depok, West Java—outbreak of Chikungunya. dated 10–11–06. http://tinyurl.com/mpn8h comment: (if you want to make your hair curl without using rollers, go read the thread on India.)

Depok, Kompas - the Official of the Health of the Depok City of the Service on Wednesday morning (11/10) carried out fumigation in the RW territory 03 and RW 04, the Cinere District, the Limo Subdistrict, Depok. This was carried out to prevent expanded him the plague chikungu him that infected the citizen Cinere. The “prevention most effective was the eradication of the mosquitoes nest with 3M (drained, closed, buried).” Fumigation only killed mature mosquitoes, but pinched still many, the headword and the Eradication of the Illness, and Sanitation of the Depok City of the Environment of the Health Service of the Prevention Field, Dr Ani Rubiani on Wednesday morning. According to the Head of the Limo Community Health Centre Dr Lexiani, the number pederita chikungu him continued to improve. Until struck 10. 25, already 80 sufferers that was recorded the community health centre.

Plus, here is a little blurb on Depok from the University of Indonesia:

Depok During the Dutch colonial times, Depok was surrounded by a 4,000-hectare forest, which was perfect for water-absorption area. This has made Depok Indonesia’s first nature reserve. Now the remaining six-hectare nature conservation area plays a great environmental role especially because it is located close to Jakarta and Bogor, where air pollution is abominable.

Sharing a border with South Jakarta, today, Depok is a small fast-growing town and well furnished. As the number of private boarding houses rises, new businesses are growing almost every month, especially along the main road jalan Margonda Raya. Restaurants, shopping centers, bookstores, hotel, hospital, internet and telecomunication centers are available. Private dormitories began as local people’s initiative to provide an accommodation option for UI students who came from outside Jakarta. Now students can enjoy studying without worrying too much about their accommodation and leisure.

The relocation of UI campus to Depok has undoubtedly accellerated this development. Some private universities have also confidently established their campuses in Depok or surrounding areas.

Depok is easy to reach from any directions. It is well served by road and railroad. Buses and trains operate regularly. Those who enjoy train ride from Jakarta can get off at either one of the two stations right on the edge of the campus, UI station or Pondok Cina station. Those who drive a car or ride the bus may find busy traffics sometimes.

[and confirmed by Snowhound1′s post]

Comment - As I recall when Mama Komariah entered the hospital, she was already very ill; and according to the above quote they didn’t get a positive H5N1 test result until a third try. If the news article is accurate, that would seem to imply the testing may not be finding the virus, or throwing false negatives for some reason…which appears might be true from the high number of negative tests coming from suspect cases that go to health centers or hospitals in Indonesia. This seems very bothersome, how hard it is to even get near an accurate assessment of what’s happening. Thus the work of the people on this thread, finding the suspect cases and including info about their negative tests, becomes even more valuable. Thank you!

pugmom - at 10:11: At this point neither chik nor mutabar is H5N1 but we should keep one eye out for them because of the confusion they can cause. Most diseases in tropical countries are either mosquito vectored or are waterborne. Having dengue/chik and this mutabar in the area of H5N1 outbreaks makes for a potential problem in that they will perhaps mimic influenza symptoms which might be H5N1. And, then there is always the problem of dual outbreaks in the same person (which is something we will see) and the confusion that will bring to test results (as if they were not confusing enough as they are). If there were a test for H5N1 that brought clear-cut results all this would not be a problem. But H5N1 testing, even at the PCR level, seems to be getting more unclear as the days wear on (and we’re still not getting any word how Tamiflu may be affecting test results, or if it is administered before or after the tests are run). The cluster in Makassar was a mess, with the dengue, TB, regluar flu, malnutrition, and negatives. They would be ver lucky indeed to be able to repeat that feat.

Pugmom, pixie, CG My Feedback

The original artical concerning this sickness that originated in Garut stated suspect AI in the it, since then they have backed off that comment. Do we have an article that says specifically that it is Chic or dengue or muntebar not AI? Maybe I missed it in these long threads and WIDE screens that I can’t read unless I scroll side to side. So I guess as far as THAT situation goes I have to respectfully disagree for me there is to much at stake to miss something because a thread may be to long or whatever, unless there is something that specifically says it is not AI since the original article said suspect AI. I believe it started with an article Pugmom posted about 26 people in Central Java and then in the same thread I found an article where it stated this was in Garut. Yesterday it had spread to Bandung and Tasikmalaya maybe by rail(from looking at maps) I believe Pixie posted that one. Did I miss an article that specifically says what officials think this is? Besides that in my opinion we don’t always know what case is H5N1 or not right off so it may be a mistake to put something on another thread that may be missed unless WE are fairly certain it is not AI. I know I can’t spend a lot of time translating so my opinion isn’t that important but I wanted to state it anyway so there you go.

Fascinating story of how they found H5N1 in 2 pigs in Denspasar, Bali. dated 10–12–06 http://tinyurl.com/er6oo (Although why they tell us the researcher was a drop-out and had a pointed nose, I am not so sure.)

 The virus sprouted in the Pig (Bali) on Thursday, October 12 2006 | 01:02 WIB

The Interactive TIME, Denpasar: the Bokek Pan sad. There is none that could the implementation more far to rescue his pigs that were infected Hog Cholera. During so -last June- a girl of the veterinary surgeon’s candidate from the Udayana University that was the spacious practice offered a sheet of Rp 100 thousands for one around his pig that a rust. “I needed him to do the task of the end of the lecturer,” said the girl who later it was known was named Natalya Ruff, 26 years.

Natalya brought the pig to his campus laboratory in Denpasar. The first step that the implementation was to take the sample of the liquid on the throat of the unfortunate pig used cotton swap. The previous sample was analysed by him technically the Reaction of the Polimerase Chain (PCR). Natalya blood instantly terkesiap when under his microscope lens, he not only found the virus hog cholera, but also a descendant of the virus that was pursued throughout the country -in fact the world- like the large-scale class fugitive, H5N1.

“Deg-degan also at that time but not at all frightened because of feeling quite safe,” said Natalya that had a pointed nose that. Natalya immediately announced the findings of the bird flu virus to his guide’s lecturer, IGN Ketut Mahardika.

Together, both of them operated on the pig to be researched by the possibility of the descendants of the same virus merasuk right in the network of blood and the organ. For the further test of Mahardika -the dropout’s doctor Giessen University, Germany- divided the data and the sample to the colleagues in the similar laboratory in Jakarta (the Molecular Eijkman biological Agency), Bogor (the Bogor agricultural Institute) and Singapore (National University). Results evidently the negative. “That was significant to the pig in Tabanan the bird flu virus was oportunistik, or only passinged by,” explained Mahardika.

The characteristics were different to the other pig ‘patient’ who came to Mahardika almost simultaneously. This time, his guidance student that the spacious practice in Payangan, Gianyar, Athens R. Dion, brought the present of the pig child was three months old. The Landrace kind pig was stunted, dehydration, anaemia, diarrhoea and breathless for the last month. According to Athens, four tails Results of the sample test technically PCR again proved the pig is junior that had been descended on by the virus H5N1.

Even not only alighted because of the test imunohistokimia with antibodies monoklonal demonstrated if virus antigens H5N1 lived especially in the network of the spleen. According to Mahardika, the genetic material comparison the gene hemaglutinin (HA, protein in the virus that was assigned to ambush the network of his foster-mother’s body) the virus to two pigs showed the difference although very thin. Genetic information cDNA the gene HA that was available from isolat the Gianyar pig was 1489 nukleotida was the Tabanan pig 1397 nukelotida. “Both of them are currently registered in the Bank Gen in America (belonging to National the Institute of Health),” he said.

Lots of confusion about how much poultry involvement there was in her case - no large poultry farms nearby, not a lot of chickens around her home and the ones there have tested negative. Because they are not getting any explanation from the chickens, they seem to be moving towards studying a broader potential zoonosis.

‘’‘The First case in Indonesia and Second in Dunia MK the Meningitis Suffering and AI’‘’

The Patient suspect bird flu, MK (65), from the Pasirhalang Kec Village. Cisarua Kab. Bandung, was stated positive terjangkit the virus H5N1.

“Moreover, this virus was it was suspected strong at becoming the cause of the cerebral membrane of the inflammation (meningitis) that was suffered by MK,” said the Section Head the Health of the West Javanese Province, Dr. Yudhi Prayudha in Bandung, on Wednesday (11/10). The news about MK, was accepted by Dr. Yudhi yesterday from Balitbangkes Jakarta through the short message of the service (the SMS). “I received the news that that was relevant positive, from smsing, not from the official letter.” The SMS was sent by the staff who received the news from Jakarta. Usually, I was sent the official letter. Possibly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, just was accepted his official letter, said Yudhi that was contacted in his office.

According to him, MK’s case was that the first time happened in Indonesia. The similar case had happened beforehand in Thailand. “Could be said, this was the second case in Asia or even in the world,” he revealed.

However, clinically, Yudhi still could not confirm, meningitis that was suffered by MK as a result of the bird flu virus (Avian influenza/AI) or not. However was expected strong at heading there if seeing MK did not make himself aware because meningitis and MK was stated positive terjangkit H5N1.

Secara clinical pathology, said he, only teams of the doctor the Handsome Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) that could explain. “Secara clinical pathology, only Mr Hadi that could explain.” I only could connect as the person of the field, not the clinical person, said Yudhi. However, good Dr. Hadi Jusuf, Sp. P. D. KPTI as the Chairman Tim the Control of RSHS Bird Flu, or Dr. Cissy R. Sudjana the officer as Director RSHS, still could not give information about that. “We were still being waiting for Litbangkes confirmation.” We waited results that is sent today, said Dr. Cissy through the SMS.

Although indeed meningitis MK because of the bird flu virus, Kadinkes made a plea so that the not restless community. “This case was very rare.” Because that might not there are those that was worried, he revealed. That important, he said added, the community memerhatikan methods maintained the cleanliness and the handling of the true poultry.

This Thursday, Dinkes West Java will coordinate with Dinkes Kab. Bandung to take the sample of MK’s family’s blood and the citizen that had the story of contact with the poultry around MK’s residence in Kp.The Love ound, the Pasirhalang Village, Kec. Cisarua, Kab.Bandung. The Jabar step

In West Java till at this time the bird flu patient was recorded 24 people, and 19 people among them immediately died. This number was spread in 10 regencies/the city. In Kab. Bandung, MK was the 4th positive case.

According to Dr. Yudhi, there were three similarity factors among all the bird flu sufferers in West Java. Firstly, socially economics the sufferers come from from the middle and middle circle down. Secondly, did not happen near the large-scale poultry farm, and third, the positive poultry always the chicken kind not the race (talk to).

It was related that the formation of the regional Commission (Komda) the Control of Bird Flu, Yudhi stressed that that was needed not the formation [committee] komda bird flu, but more activated the control commission of the based illness the animal (zoonosis). “I more agreed zoonosis because not only bird flu, there was the other illness for example anthrax or rabies that also must be guarded against,” he said.

Was different to the statement of Dinkes West Java, results of the research of the Livestock Breeding Service into the poultry in the Pasirhalang Village of the Love Round, precisely the negative. As being said Kasubdin the Protection of resources and Kab fisheries of the Livestock Breeding Service. Bandung, drh.

regarding ‘MK’s case. an english language version…

The Jakarta Post- “A 67-year-old woman from Cisarua in Lembang, West Java was tested positive for bird flu Wednesday and is likely to be the country’s first victim to suffer from brain inflammation due to the virus.

Head of the West Java Health Office, Yudi Prayudha, said Wednesday that he received confirmation of the woman’s tests through a text message from a staff member of the Health Ministry’s research and development laboratory in Jakarta, who said the results were confirmed after the third test.

“SM, 67, female, is currently being treated at Hasan Sadikin hospital in Bandung. The third sample shows she is bird flu positive,” Yudi said, quoting the text message he received.

The woman’s case is unique, as it is the first time in the country that the H5N1 virus has been reported to have caused encephalitis, or the inflammation of the brain. A similar condition was reported to have caused the deaths of two siblings in south Vietnam in 2004.

Yudi said that based on preliminary information from the hospital, the bird flu patient has been placed in isolation after suffering a fever for two days following the sudden death of her chickens.

When she was first admitted to the hospital Saturday afternoon, she was in poor health, suffering from a high fever, breathing problems and a loss of consciousness.

However, the hospital’s team of doctors, led by Hadi Jusuf, did not find indications that her loss of consciousness was due to acute respiratory distress or pneumonia like other bird flu patients treated at the hospital.

“There’s a strong indication that the virus has entered the victim’s brain membrane. A sample of fluid from her spinal cord has been taken to confirm the nature of the virus,” Yudi said.

Hadi Yusuf said the first test was negative but the lab then conducted the tests five times. The tests included serology tests as well as swabs from her throat and lungs and cerebrospinal fluid from her spinal cord.

“If the tests show she is infected with H5N1, then this will be the first reported Avian Influenza case that has caused brain inflammation in the country,” Hadi told The Jakarta Post.

He admitted, however, he had not received an official report from the Health Ministry’s laboratory.

Examinations by the hospital’s neurology team, he said, has shown that MK is suffering from brain inflammation caused by a virus.

The patient was still in poor health Wednesday although it seemed like she had started regaining consciousness after briefly moving her hand.

Yudi asked people to remain calm about the latest bird flu development. “It’s very rare that H5N1 causes brain inflammation, so there’s no need to worry. Just follow instructions to prevent Avian Influenza infection,” he said…”

Commentary

Confirmed H5N1 Case in Bandung Indonesia Recombinomics Commentary October 11, 2006

“A 67-year-old woman living in the Cisarua area of Bandung had contact with fowl,” the official from the bird flu information centre said by telephone. The woman was admitted to the hospital on Oct. 7 and was still alive, the official added.

The woman tested positive to the H5N1 virus after a test at a health ministry laboratory and one conducted by NAMRU, the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit based in Jakarta, the official added.

Hadi Yusuf, the director of the Hasan Sadikin hospital in Bandung, southeast of the capital Jakarta, said the woman was being treated with the anti-viral drug Tamiflu and antibiotics. “Her condition is bad. For a second day, she has been on a respirator and her blood pressure is high.”

Yusuf said the woman had come down with a fever two weeks after being in the vicinity of dead chickens.

The above description confirms H5N1 bird flu in an elderly patient (67F) from the Bandung area. There is also evidence for neurological involvement, which is unusual for cases in Indonesia. Similarly, the patient is markedly older than most cases in Indonesia. The sole survivor from the infection in Karo also had neurological complications, but those problems may have been due to a secondary bacterial infection.

It remains unclear if the infection in the older patient with neurological complications represents a new H5N1 strain in the Bandung area. A large number of patients in the area have been hospitalized with symptoms, but most tested negative for H5N1 and recovered after Tamiflu treatment.

Although poultry was dying in the vicinity, to date all reported patients from Bandung have been infected with H5N1 with a novel cleavage site and additional markers that did not match the H5N1 in poultry on Java. The only bird isolate on Java with the novel cleavage site was from a duck on Indramayu and matched a small subset of patients from 2005. All of the more recent isolates were readily distinguished from the H5N1 from the duck in Indramayu.

Recent reports from Indonesia have described H5N1 in cats. H5N1 from a kitten in the Indramayu is the only match for the vast majority of the human H5N1 isolates. http://tinyurl.com/y56vlx

Seven die in flu and dysentery outbreak

By JAMES KILA

SEVEN people have reportedly died following an alleged outbreak of flu and dysentery in remote Mobutasa village in Obura-Wonenara district, Eastern Highlands province, earlier this week.

According to Obura Wonenara district health officer Justin Wase, the seven deaths were reported by councillor Waipinase Nogiri on Monday.

The councillor walked over rugged terrains and rough gullies to reach Aiyura to report the matter to the district health authorities.

Mr Wase said from Mr Nogiri’s report, seven people had died within two weeks from diseases which had symptoms somewhat associated with flu and dysentery.

Mobutasa is only accessible by air. Although it is close to Aivondi in the Okapa district, it is politically in the Obura Wonenara electorate.

It takes about three days to reach the area from Obura Wonenara. The closest airstrip is also three days away from the village. Mr Wase has reported the matter to the provincial health office in Goroka and has asked for a medical relief team to travel to the area to assess the situation. The National unsuccessfully attempted to get comments from health services director Ben Haili in Goroka.

In his report, Mr Wase said the relatively small population of Mobutasa could be wiped out by the epidemic.

He requested for a chopper to be hired for health officers to travel to the village. Mr Wase said half of the health facilities in the district were accessible only by air. Of these, 60% are owned by the church health service. He added that 65% of the rural aid posts were closed and about 80% of the maternal deaths were not reported. Furthermore, 78% of outreach clinic programmes in the district were not implemented. The report also stated that 85% of rural health facilities were not visited.

Their main meat source is pork, some of it wild. There second most numerous meat source is poultry.

The problem with it occuring in this area is the fact that if it is H5N1 which has gained efficient h2h transmission it has probably already walked out of the area and is now presently multiplying in other equally remote and not so remote locations. In other words, if this is IT, the horses have already run down the road and it is too late to close the barn door. I started the New Guinea thread with this very fear in mind, that it would fire up, multiply and adapt secretly in some remote location, and then come out and say “Boo!!” after it was already too late to stop it. It is hard to find more remote locations on all the earth than the highlands of New Guinea.

web page for US Embassies:

“Concerns about the possibility of an avian influenza pandemic have prompted international and national efforts to institute pandemic preparedness measures. The Department of State is working with its embassies and consulates worldwide to prepare in the event of a pandemic.

American citizens traveling to or living in countries where avian influenza is prevalent should consider the potential risks and keep informed of the latest medical guidance and information in order to make appropriate plans.

snip

In making contingency plans for the official American community, we will look to guidance from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, as conveyed through the Department’s Medical Director.

snip

Based upon limited data, the Centers for Disease Control has suggested that the anti-viral medication oseltamavir (brand name-Tamiflu) may be effective in preventing or treating avian influenza. Embassies and Consulates are pre-positioning Tamiflu for eligible U.S. Government employees and their families serving abroad.

There is no provision or legal authority that allows the U.S. Government to provide American citizens traveling or living abroad with medications, including in the event of a pandemic.

Tamiflu may not be readily available overseas, and American citizens traveling or living abroad who are interested in obtaining this medication are encouraged to consult with their physician.

Tamiflu is not available in Papua New Guinea.”

Comment: Phew. More on MK and also on her family situation. There’s a lot here - sorry about the length but it may give someone somewhere clues as to what is going on with MK, the chickens, and the testing. It sounds like at first they thought MK was having her 4th stroke.

They have not found H5N1 postitive chickens around MK’s property. A farmer quoted here says chickens often die of natural causes at this time of year - it is normal - and he gives them a herbal remedy when they are sick which he claims causes them to recover in a day (doesn’t sound like H5N1). MK’s husband says the symptoms he has seen in the local sick chickens have not resembled the H5N1 symptoms in poultry he was told to look out for.

Really did Bird Flu stop over in the Love Round?

The DAY still the morning when Ayi visited the Eroh Rohanda residence, the Village Head Pasirhalang. Ayi was one of the NY sons.MK (67), suspect bird flu that currently still terbaring weak in Poinciana Tree Space RS Handsome Sadikin Bandung.

The day, on Saturday (7/10), for his three times — for the last four years — stroke bashed the worn-out NY body. MK, the citizen Kp. The round loved the Pasirhalang Kec Village. Cisarua Kab. Bandung.

“He asked to be looked for the ambulance to bring his mother to the hospital.” In fact, I had the colleague, his wife worked in RSJ Cisarua, was not far from his house. But, he said, the ambulance often stalled. Then, was suggested by me to search in RSU Cibabat or to City Subregional Police Cimahi, said Eroh Rohanda, when being found in his office, on Thursday (12/10). Briefly related, the ambulance came. Not from RSU Cibabat or City Subregional Police Cimahi, but property someone in the area of Cisangkan Padang Ratu. MK was brought to RSU Cibabat. Then, was brought to RS Saint Yusup Bandung.

“My wife in-x-rayed.” There were spots on his lungs. The doctor asked whether my wife was often crowded. I answered not. Could suffered asthma quite serious, but has recovered teenage then, said Itang (72), the husband MK, when being found in his residence, on Thursday (12/10).

Itang felt, so that made MK afterwards be reconciled to RS Handsome Sadikin and was put into Poinciana Tree Space. The sample of his blood was taken. It was startling, on Wednesday (11/10), MK was stated positive contracted the bird flu illness (Avian influenza). The news came from the Section Head the Health of the West Javanese Province, Dr. Yudhi Prayudha. He admitted to accepting the short message from Balitbangkes the Centre in Jakarta.

On Saturday early afternoon, M. Rusli, the paramedic veteriner Kec. Cisarua, descended to the field, took the sample of poultry blood around the residence MK. “After being tested in the laboratory, results of the negative.”

But, we stayed curious from where the bird flu virus came?

Yesterday (on Wednesday, 11/10 -red.) we again took the sample of poultry blood and it was continued today yesterday, said Rusli, on Thursday (12/10).Itang said, a week before Ramadan, himself indeed bought six chickens from someone in the next village. A chicken was cut off to be eaten. Despite that, Itang also maintained 3 turtle-doves, a thrush, and one kerak batam. “Nah, two days before the fast, my two chickens died suddenly.” But, his cock’s comb not geuneuk, the chest and foot him then did not show blood spots as information that was heard by me uptil now, he said. Two weeks afterwards, his wife was attacked stroke.

The other news was sent by the Village Head, Eroh Rohanda. Two months beforehand, happened the mass death of the chicken belonging to Darmat, the citizen of the Kp village. Cilawantani the Cilame Kec Village. Ngamprah, that was neighbours with Kp.The Love round. He claimed, the chicken that died suddenly that numbering 20 tails. But, the community here considered the death was natural. The matter is, every year, at the time of the season pancaroba, indeed always happened thus, he said. Itang justified the matter. Last year, 9 from his 10 property chickens died suddenly. But, he claimed not restless. The matter is, he had effective medicine. “Nyandak we the onion beureum, dipekprek, the terrace dilelepkeun we.” Da enjingna definitely cageur (took the shallot, was crushed, then was fed. Tomorrow him must recover,” he said.

Came back to the MK. Itang story said that already four years the wife suffered was sick. In extension at that time, his three times experienced stroke. “From knees to the palm foot, also from the elbow to fingertips, very hot.” Usually, we the compress and again normal. Two hours afterwards, again hot. Dikompres, again normal. Was like this henceforth. Nah, yesterday that, we decided to bring him took medicine to the hospital, he said.

When the “positive” status of “bird flu” spread the area, Itang and the family’s other member claimed did not know. Even, on Wednesday afternoon (11/10), a doctor in RS Handsome Sadikin asked him to gather all of the family’s member. The “doctor asked for us many-often prayed.” The matter is, the mother did not realise-realised. In fact, the doctor has given medicine that the price his one pill Rp 1,5 million, was like this Itang, the pensioner PT Pindad this.

Some issues and questions generated from the MK story in Bandung:

1. They are really looking hard to find H5N1 in the chickens, with no luck so far. The sequences from the human cases in Bandung just do not match the sequences from any chickens. They seem to be overlooking the obvious. They should be testing any other animals in the area as well - barnyard livestock, mice/rats, domestic pets, etc. At this point, they may be stepping right over the proverbial needle-in-the-haystack to get to the chickens.

2. Family contacts of MK were only tested after the fifth day, and lab results won’t be available until a week after that (a total of 12 days for hopefully conclusive test results). This is not rapid response containment.

3. Something may be happening with the PCR tests to generate such inconclusive test results. If the virus has changed, is it no longer reconizable on the standard PCR tests?

4. If they can no longer pick up the virus from the PCR tests (since they are getting either inconclusive or possibly false-negative test results) will they be able to generate the proper genetic sequences from these suspected human cases for further study? (If you can’t get a “positive,” I would also think they will not be able to obtain H5N1 genes to sequence). If the virus has changed to this extent it is unrecognizable, how will we be able to proceed and study it further?

This was posted by Snowhound1 in an article way above. I’m assuming there is a separate Indonesian lab in Jakarta, but if not, perhaps NAMRU has changed its diagnosis. Does anyone know if there are 2 labs in Jakarta? For now, I’m showing Mama Komariah as testing positive. I will change it to negative if you all prefer.

…The woman tested positive to the H5N1 virus after a test at a health ministry laboratory and one conducted by NAMRU, the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit based in Jakarta, the official added.

Pixie – at 22:02

Michelle in Ok: The situation with MK is really confusing. I think the technical word for it is “a mess.”

You are right - initially the reports were that NAMRU had found MK to be H5N1 positive. There is no information, as far as I know, about which of the PCR tests registered positive at NAMRU (or, now that I think of it, whether it was a PCR test from which they obtained the positive). On Wed., Dr. Yudi confirmed that he had received a text message from the Health Ministry lab in Jakarta stating that MK had tested positive for H5N1. However, since that time, all the top doctors in Bandung have become involved and the confusion has played itself out in public via Dr. Hadi, Dr. Cissy, and Tim the Control, in addition to Dr. Yudi and NAMRU. They are stating that they need more test results to conclude that MK is, in fact, positive, and the situation sounds a bit heated.

MK has had 5 PCR tests and the third one registered a “weak positive,” which seems to me a little like someone obtaining a “weak positive” on a pregnancy test. They have sent various other bodily fluids from MK to out to labs, and I believe that further results are expected as early as tomorrow. I think at this point it is anyone’s guess, from us here to the physicans in Bandung, as to whether MK is a positive case, has something else entirely, or something unrecognizable and brand new.

I am also confused as to whether the Litbangkes lab is the customary Health Dept. lab in Jakarta or a new one.

For those of us who know nothing about Newcastle Disease-

Group- Group V (-)ssRNA order- Mononegavirales Family- Paramyxovirade Genus- Avulavirus Species- Newcastle Disease

Highly contagious zoonotic bird disease affecting many domestic and wild avian species. It’s effect are most notable in domestic and poultry due to their high suspetibility and the potiental for sever impacts of an endemic to many countries.

The causal agent (NDV) is anegative-sense single-stranded RNA virus. Transmission occurs by exposure to faecal and other excreations from infected birds and through contact with contaminated feed, water and equipment and clothing.

Exposure of humans to infected birds (for example in poultry processing plants) can couse mild conjunctivitis and influenza like symptoms, but NDV otherwise poses no hazard to human health. Signs of infection vary greatly depending on factors such as the strain of virus, health, age, and species of the host. they can include respiratory signs, (gasping, coughing), nervous signs (depression, inappetence, drooping wings, paralysis), swelling of the eyes and neck, diarrhea, mishapen rough or thin shelled eggs, and reduction of egg productivitiy.

NDV strains can be categorized as VELOGENIC (highly virulent), MESOGENIC (intermediate virulence), and LENTOGENIC (nonvirelent). VELOGENIC strains produce severe nervous and respiratory signs, spread rapidly and cause upto 90% mortality. MESOGENIC strains cause coughing and affect egg quality production and result in up to 10% mortality. LENTOGENIC strains produce mild signs with negligible mortality.

No treatment for NCV existsm but the use of prophylotic vaccines and sanitary measures reduce the likehood of outbreaks.

There are 16 subtypes of the causative agent species of avian flu, H5N1 we are dealing with now. H5N1 is RNA, includes the negative sense ssRNA viruses, which include the Order of Mnonegavirales, which includes the Family Orthomyxovirdae.

The only difference between these two, is the Family. What is to keep NCD, and H5N1 from colliding with each other and forming a new strain, totaly new? It is interesting that Newcastle Disease is now in the news, along with N5H1 and this to my mind is cause for concern. And I just over reacting?

Cottontop at 10:31… I’ve heard that question raised before but have no idea if it is possible for those two viruses to mix. I’d guess that NCD and H5N1 wouldn’t be the most dangerous combination, as NCD isn’t particularly harmful to humans or efficient at spreading H2H. The big concern, I believe, is if H5N1 mixes with a virus already adept at spreading among people.

Hello, by the way. It’s nice to meet.

North Sumatra I think is right too.

pugmom – at 12:32

Every night I look at Michelle’s quick summary of days’ events. I mentally have been figuring the totals in the top 3 boxes, as I think these are cases that are positives, whether WHO confirmed or not. When we first started the summary, the total was around 18. Then it inched up to 20–22. Then it inched up to 26. Today, the total reached 30. Not to say anything about the other 102 cases that we have not heard anything back on. Folks, the cases are mounting (even if you don’t count the cases like that woman who died of BF symptoms that we only heard about after she was buried yesterday.) I think it is time the WHO started having daily press conferences. Who is doing the epidemiology? And what are their findings? Is the Tamiflu blanket working? Are they testing other mammals? Why are we seeing cases all over Indonesia? When are you going to raise the Pandemic Level? Are you doing sequence analysis of these latest human cases? What does the latest sequence data show? Is all of Indonesia now under a Tamiflu blanket? Or just hospitalized patients? Are you sending a WHO team into Papua? We, the world, are sick and tired of not having these basic questions answered. Not only should they be answered, they should be answered on a daily basis. I bet when all this started, and I think Michelle’s timeline goes back to about June, that the WHO would never imagine FW keeping such close records and being able to figure things out for ourselves. If I didn’t think that the good doctors and scientists that work for the WHO have humanity’s well-being as their first priority, I would almost have to conclude that there is a major cover-up taking place.

Pixie – at 12:37

pugmom: I think one of the problems is that WHO is not in Indonesia. I think they’d very much like to be, but I suspect they have been uninvited.

It is Indonesia that probably never suspected that FW would be keeping such close track of cases and events.

Michelle in OK-

Hey, it’s nice to meet you too.

I raised this question last night, on another thread, and Anon-451 replied back,”yes if they are both flu virus like H5N1 and H7N7.” I’m just wondering if NDV could mutate, just as H5N1 could, and go H2H. we believe this will happen in H5N1.

pugmom – at 12:49

Pixie—you may be right. You sure don’t see the word “WHO” much anymore in the translations. I have seen Unicef, but not much WHO lately. So Indo wants to go this alone? Tough it out all by themselves? Just keep the Tamiflu flowing in, but leave us alone philosophy?? Maybe it is time to get tough, if they want to go it alone, then help them out with a freeze on travel in or out of their country. If we don’t all cooperate in this venture to stop or curtail this virus, including Indo, the situation is hopeless. If the WHO was quietly asked to leave, why hasn’t that been made public? Boy, have you ever been so frustrated in all your life? I still think it is time to start daily press conferences. Obviously, behind-the-scenes, velvet-gloved, soft-voiced diplomacy has not worked.

“Just keep the Tamiflu flowing in, but leave us alone philosophy??”

Hi Everyone, concerning the post in North Sumatra. My papers on North Sumatra include the District in East Coast Region: Kabupaten Asahan, Kisaran. So our article mentions Asahan. I can’t find Simatupang. The closest I can come is a place called Simalungun. But I do have a Regency called “shavings”. From article at 07:41:

pugmom – at 17:34

Thanx Influentia2 for the WHO references. I read over the info, but found most of it to be typical bureaucratic gobbleleegook. They did talk about the “challenges” since Indo decentralized their health care a few years ago. I also found the figure that 17.9% if Indo’s health care dollars come from foreign contributions. In regard to Simatupang, I also found that to be a name for various streets around Indo and one in Jakarta. I think, because there was a famous Indonesian with the last name of Simatupang. Indeed, maybe they named that hospital after him.

pugmom – at 17:40

Say Influentia2---that WHO map is pretty interesting!! It reminds me of our equally lovely map by our fellow FWians. EXCEPT, the WHO map is for animal H5N1 infections, and our map is for human infections. I like ours better.

pugmom – at 17:45

Influentia2--Once I squinted real well, I could see that the WHO map had human cases superimposed on all that green (animal H5N1 infections), so it is very similar to our case map. But of course, they are not doing suspect cases, so they are a little light on the totals. Thanx again. Also, no date on the thing—wonder how often they update it?

pugmom – at 19:45

Hey guys! What is up with the Toggletext? Mine has been down all day. Have any of you ever encountered it being down this long?

I noticed the cases on the WHO map were light too, and I noticed Papau too. I just thought I’d send those to you but I have no idea how often they ever update anything, ours is better too and I bet updated more often.

Kataku was down one other time that I know of but maybe only an hour or so if that. I have a dictionary for Indo but one word at a time is very tedious let me tell you, I tried it one time just to see how fast I could go.

pugmom – at 22:25

here’s the headline from Metro: PASIEN SUSPECT FLU BURUNG DI BANYUMAS MENINGGAL doesn’t meninggal mean “dead”? It is an article about MaMa. I think the worse has happened.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An 11-year-old Indonesian boy has died of the virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu, raising the national death toll from the disease to 53, the director of the hospital where the patient was being treated said Sunday.

The boy, who wasn’t named by officials, was admitted to the Sulianti Saroso Hospital for Infectious Diseases on Thursday and died Saturday night, said Director Dr. Santoso Suroso.

“The death of the boy has brought to 53 the number of people killed by the bird flu virus,” Suroso said.

Vietnam is the second worst hit at 42, but it has not recorded any deaths in 2006.

Experts say Indonesians will continue to die until the nation stops the rampant spread of infection among its hundreds of millions of backyard poultry.

Before the latest Indonesian fatality, there had been 253 confirmed cases of bird flu around the world, in Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam, according to the World Health Organization’s Web site. Of those, 148 cases had been fatal.

The boy, known only by his initial ‘A’, was admitted on Saturday but had previously been treated for 10 days at another hospital in south Jakarta.

Diduga Flu Burung, Warga Ulujami Meninggal

JAKARTA, KOMPAS - Aulia Rahmani, warga Kelurahan Ulujami Kecamatan Pesanggarahan Jakarta Selatan, Sabtu malam (14/10) meninggal dunia di RS Pusat Infeksi (RSPI) Sulianti Saroso Jakarta Utara karena diduga menderita flu burung. Jenazah pelajar kelas I sebuah Sekolah Menengah Lanjutan Pertama (SMP) di Jakarta Selatan itu, Minggu pagi (15/10) dimakamkan di tempat pemakaman Ulujami yang berada tak jauh dari rumahnya.

Awalnya Aulia menderita demam dan batuk. Sabtu (7/10) lalu, orangtuanya membawa gadis itu berobat ke sebuah rumah sakit di Jl Veteran Bintaro. Ia dirawat di sana dengan diagnosa awal menderita penyakit tipus dan demam berdarah.

Lima hari dirawat, kondisi kesehatan Aulia tak kunjung membaik. Kamis pagi (12/10), Aulia pindah perawatan ke Rumah Sakit Internasional Bintaro. Menurut seorang kerabat Aulia, pihak RSI Bintaro menilai anak kedua dari empat saudara keluarga Rahmani - Ny Musofa tersebut diduga menderita flu burung. Pihak RS lalu melaporkan keberadaan Aulia berikut kondisinya ke RSPI Sulianti Saroso sekaligus merujuknya agar gadis itu dirawat di sana.

Kamis malam, Aulia dibawa ke RSPI untuk mendapatkan perawatan lebih intensif. Akan tetapi, Sabtu lalu kondisinya memburuk lalu malam harinya meninggal dunia.

Di rumah orangtua Aulia, terdapat kandang burung. Sebelumnya di sana hidup lebih dari 10 burung merpati dan jenis burung lain, namun sejak Aulia masuk RSPI, pihak keluarga langsung menyembelih semua burung peliharaan mereka lalu membakarnya. (TRI)

Ribuan Ayam di Asahan Mati Mendadak

Liputan6.com, Medan: Lebih dari lima ribu ekor ayam kampung mati mendadak di 14 kecamatan di Kabupaten Asahan, Sumatra Utara, Sabtu (14/10). Kuat dugaan ribuan ayam ini mati akibat terserang virus flu burung mengingat dua kecamatan di antaranya yaitu Simpang Empat dan Kecamatan Lima Puluh adalah daerah rawan flu burung. Warga yang khawatir tertular flu burung mengeluh dinas peternakan setempat lamban bertindak setelah ribuan ayam mati mendadak.

Seorang Warga Banyumas Diduga Terjangkit Flu Burung

Banyumas: Seorang pasien yang diduga terjangkit virus flu burung dilarikan ke Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Banyumas, Jawa Tengah. Parimun, pasien rujukan dari RSUD Banjarnegara itu menderita demam tinggi, batuk, dan sesak napas bahkan darah sempat mengucur dari hidungnya. Meski belum dipastikan terserang flu burung, tim medis menempatkan pasien ini di ruang isolasi sambil melakukan observasi untuk mengetahui secara dini jenis penyakit Parimun.

Comment: Here is a new story at Metrotv - the latest victiim’s name is Ahad, I beleive. He was treated in another hospital with the assumption he had Tyhus before admission to Sulianti Soroso.

Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: Satu lagi pasien suspect flu burung meninggal dunia. Korban meninggal dunia di Rumah Sakit Penyakit Infeksi (RSPI) Sulianti Saroso, Jakarta, Sabtu (14/10) malam dan langsung dimakamkan di Tempat Pemakaman Umum Ulujami, Ahad (15/10) pagi.

Korban sempat berpindah-pindah dari rumah sakit satu ke yang lainnya. Sebelum akhirnya mendapat perawatan selama tiga hari di RSPI, korban yang baru berusia 11 tahun ini dirawat di RS Internasional Bintaro. Sebelumnya korban sempat dirawat selama enam hari di RS Veteran dengan dugaan penyakit tipus.

Warga Ulujami, tempat tinggal korban, mengatakan sebelum korban menderita gejala mirip flu burung memang banyak ayam peliharaan di lingkungan tersebut yang mati mendadak. Karena takut akan bahaya flu burung, warga sekitar langsung membakar semua ayam yang masih hidup.

Sementara itu di RS Banyumas, Jawa Tengah setelah satu pasien suspect flu burung, Mistinem, meninggal pada Jumat (13/10), satu lagi pasien dugaan flu burung di rawat di rumah sakit tersebut. Pasien bernama Parimun, warga Dusun Krinjing, Desa Petir, Kecamatan Purwonegoro, Banjarnegara, Jawa Timur diduga terinfeksi flu burung setelah mengalami gejala panas dan batuk-batuk.

Parimun juga memiliki riwayat kontak dengan unggas sebab ia bekerja di sebuah peternakan ayam di Tangerang, Banten. Parimun adalah pasien kelima yang dirawat di RSU Banyumas. Menurut petugas, Parimun masih dalam tahap observasi namun untuk mengantisipasi kemungkinan ia benar-benar tertular virus flu burung, Parimun ditempatkan di ruang isolasi.(**) http://www.metrotvnews.com/berita.asp?id=26193

Ideally (guarded?), Parimun will stay in observation phase anyway until the liklihood is verified to be bird flu, Parimun will be guarded in the isolation space.

I copied that paragraph but I have to go word by word, will take a few.

pugmom – at 07:40

I think the patient Influentia2 reported on (in English) that died in Jakarta over the weekend is named Awalyna/Aulio Rahmani (as per 05:58) or alternate name of Ahad (as per 06:38.) I think we now have a name for the other Bayumas patient admitted---see 06:22-----“Banyumas Again received the Patient Suspect Bird Flu Riska Karsono - Banyumas, the regional Public Hospital (RSUD) Banyumas, Central Java, this Friday morning (13/10) again received the patient suspect bird flu. This patient came from the Banjarnegara Regency. The patient from this Banjarnegara came around struck 11.30 WIB, with the hot sign high, was sick the throat, the cough, pilek, and was directly touching with several poultries that it was suspected were sick. RSUD Banyumas Director Dr Hartono explained, the new patient with suspect this bird flu was treated in RSUD Banyumas in special isolation space and at this time sample his blood was taken”.----- So this name is “Parimun”.

Let’s recap last 24 hours the best we can without translations: 2 patients from Bayumas, (1 died, 1 hospitalized); 1 admitted to hospital in Medan; an 11 y.o. boy died in Jakarta; and finally a patient named Lokot Siregar from the Bandarthe’s islands (Shavings Regency.) Well, I think we have most of Indonesia represented here, except for any new ones out of Sulawesi. That’s about 5 over the weekend.

Influentia2 – at 07:52

Pixie 7:20

This dictionary I have is only translating every 5th word or so. I think the first part of the article you posted is about the 11 year old that died in Jakarta and is in MSM now. Korban means casualty. The second part is about Mistinem (died) and I think he was from Central Java. Parinum worked with chickens in Tangerang. That is what I am getting out of it anyway.

Don’t want us snooping around, knowing onset dates, streets they lived on, relatives infected, hospitals admitted to, etc. etc. Either that, or there are just getting to be too many cases for them to individually report on in detail.

In this Libutan6 story, they are connecting this new case of the 11 year-old somehow with that of Rini Dina (37) who died in Sept., 2005. That story from 2005 also links to one that says the authorities had been researching any possible connection with the family’s pigs.

CG use the link I posted at 8:18 it works better than Kamus, it is Webster’s Dictionary version of Bahara which is what language this is. Anyway, I usually substitue CAK (balinese) for the english version of what came out of your translation. I am sorry to laugh but that is to CAKKING funny. I will fall off my chair if that comes out of Webster’s version. However, I do see your point that this makes word by word a little more tolerable.

Comment: They apparently had the boy, aged 11, in Veteran Bintaro Hospital for 6 days with the assumption that he had tyhoid fever. They may be testing his caretakers at that hospital if they are showing signs of fever and cough because typhoid is not spread via respiratory means (but by feces, etc.)so they may not have used the proper mask protection while he was there before he was diagnosed with H5N1.

This is another case of a child being treated for several days in a local hospital before being transfered to a H5N1 reference hospital.

So how do we tell if there are 2 deaths in Jakarta: they both died on Sat. night in the same hospital The girl is stated as 13 yo, the boy is stated as 11 yo. The boy got the maintenance for 10 days (in Sebuahrumah—it doesn’t translate). The girl was first treated at a different hospital on 10–7−06 which is 8 days before her death. Can anybody glean any more information that might differentiate the two??

“sebuahrumah” doesn’t translate—which tends to make me think it is a name, rather than an ordinary translatable word.

More on “the Saint” from Tempinkeratif:

The class student of one JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL has suffered the sign of bird flu since October 7.

The saint could have been treated the road in a hospital in Street Veteran, and the International Bintaro Hospital.

According to Dr. Sadikin Giri Putro, the Chairman Tim the Handling of Sulianti Hospital Bird Flu, when being reconciled by the condition for casualties has been serious. “Dia direct with the ventilator (respiratory aids) ,” he said to the Time kemarin

He said, was based on information of casualties’s father, the Saint indeed had the history of contact with the poultry’ near his residence. http://tinyurl.com/ylgogz

“Sebuahrumah”

I think it is actually two words (I’ve been looking up the same words over and over today!):

sebuah rumah = a house

Auliah and “the Saint” must be the same person.

They are both stated as being from South Jakarta in some articles. One is stated as being from Ulujami in a headline though, and one we know was buried in Ulujami.

Both Auliah and “the Saint” were first treated at the Veteran Bintaro Hospital, then moved to Bintaro International Hospital before referal to Sulianti Soroso Hospital. Duration noted for the child’s treatment differs between the two accounts.

Auliah is noted as being age 11, and “the Saint” is noted as being age 13.

They really may be the same person, considering the track of the treatment from hospital to hospital. The local press is probably as confused as we are most days, and may have confused the hometown/burial location and made a mistake on the age. I think that is more likely than that two children went from Veteran B to Bintaro Int’l to Sulianti Soroso around the same time. But, this being Indonesia, you never know.

The mystery deepens. This is reported in Antara News. Dated 10–16–06 http://tinyurl.com/yzj9hw

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - An Indonesian boy has died of suspected bird flu at the main treatment hospital for the disease here, a spokesman said Sunday. Tests are still being carried out to confirm the disease in the 11-year-old from a southern Jakarta suburb, he was quoted by AFP as saying. “He died last night, but there are yet no results on tests on samples taken from him,” said Ilham Patu of the Sulianti Saroso hospital. The boy, known only by his initial ‘A’, was admitted on Saturday but had previously been treated for 10 days at another hospital in south Jakarta.

Positive results from two Indonesian laboratories mean that the World Health Organization includes the case in its records.

Indonesia is grappling with ongoing outbreaks of the H5N1 virus in poultry and has reported 52 human deaths among its 69 cases, making it the worst hit country in the world. (*)
