Metrotvnews.com, Hong Kong: the Health Body of the World (WHO) criticised the China government that was regarded as not informative in connection with the discovery of the new virus of kind bird flu in this country. This virus in fact spread to several countries for the last year. Recently, WHO said was found by the new virus of kind bird flu in China. The virus that was mentioned H5N1 the kind fujian this was reported spread in several flat areas this deadly virus. Moreover, the WHO side worried this new kind virus spread to Hong Kong, Laos and Thailand. The WHO side regretted the China government attitude it was thought not informative concerning the spreading of this new virus of kind bird flu, although knowing him. Now the research that was carried out by the scientist China and the United States showed one from 30 geese and the duck in six provinces in China, positive flattest the virus of kind bird flu H5N1. However, the side’s WHO statement was denied by the China government. Results of this WHO research were it was thought inaccurate and were not in accordance with the fact in the field. Because, since the bird flu virus spread in 2004, the China government continued to carry out the research. And results were not found by the new mutation of the virus H5N1. Since spreading, the bird flu virus claimed more than 150 lives of humankind in China and in several countries in Asia, including Indonesia. Responded to the side’s WHO statement, Siti Fadil -lah Supari Health Minister stated, till at this time this kind virus was not yet found in Indonesia. According to Menkes, if having the discovery of the new virus kind then the Department of the Health will immediately carry out the research for each available specimen. Menkes also stated, till at this time the number of cases of bird flu in Indonesia did not yet change. “Up until this second, H5N1 in Indonesia still continue to H5N1 depended on his city masing-masing,.” . .

1.Indonesia can do its own testing but, backlog of 1000 cases, delay up to 3 months, with ‘occasional’ delay of confirmation of human case.

Pixie – at 06:37

Influentia2 - at 6:21

Not only is there a backlog of testing in Indonesia, but we’d like to see them testing even more animals, and is that really practical?

We’d all like to see possible intermediate mammalian hosts tested (cats, mice, etc.).

It would seem prudent, too, to test more domestic geese. There’s a real possibility that domestic geese are helping to spread the virus over great distances due to the local Indonesian duck farming practices (ducks are very mobile while being raised for market, and move great distances across the countryside in flocks, herded by their owner).

How can we hope for wider testing of these other possible vectors if there is already a delay of weeks or months in testing of the standard suspect poultry cases?

Influentia2 – at 06:55

Pixie 6:37 Halo

Does Indonesia share a migratory pathway with China or does one overlap? Is there a link to a map like that on the wiki?

I was HOPING Menkes had this backlog in mind when using the word hopefully. Optimism on my part there. I am HOPING that with the announcement of the fuji-like strain Indonesian officials would look into what is causing the backlog in cases and fix it, which probably should have been done already. I understand that with all the problems in that country that is probably not a realistic hope either.

I’m still going to hope that they figure out a way to get caught up on the backlog. WHO is aware of it, and this is the second Lupitan6 story about the new strain so maybe the officials are worried enough now to try to fix things concerning the backlog.

Anyway, I can still hope that they do.

On Friday, on November 03 2006, the COMMUNITY was appealed to by the IMMUNISATION; in November - in January the Flu Season Jakarta (KR) - Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari reminded the community to do the immunisation of flu. This dikarekanan in November up to January 2007, in Indonesia will happen the flu season and dengue fever, ”Kondisi that must be guarded for people who had money necessarily did the vaccination/the immunisation of flu biasa,” revealed Menkes ended the Lawful agenda Bi Lawful with the employee of the Department of the Health in the building Department of Health Jakarta, on Thursday (2/11). according to Menkes, to have to not get the flu, the suggestion from WHO better be done by the vaccination. Available human flu now that already estatis and the world wore him. Menkes also predicted dengue fever has begun to be early in November this up to January 2007. Last year in November has been very high the number of dengue fever casualties and early August 2005 has happened dengue fever. Whereas this 2006 in October did not yet have dengue fever and hopefully as this continued.

Concerning the new virus of Bird Flu H5N1 available in Fujian China, according to Menkes was not yet in Indonesia. ”Kalau that in Fujian China, H5N1 be different to in Indonesia, we were very specific. The Bird Flu virus of H5N1 Indonesia was different to Thailand, was different to Vietnam, but almost be the same as H5N1 in China, but that in Indonesia did not yet have the change that signifikan,” he said. Concerning why the virus H5N1 in Indonesia still took place continued, according to Menkes actually during still had the poultry in the settlement of humankind and still the existence of birds that flew in air that brought the virus H5N1 then the possibility of bird flu was still continuing to be available. ”Kalau all the social stratum could eliminate the poultry from the settlement of the humankind already 50 percent, the status has reduced tertular the virus H5N1. Because khan rather was difficult to eliminate the poultry from the page rumah,” more Menkes.

This is just making me crazy.

They are administering Tamiflu (“the special medicine”), while they are continuing to test and retest via PCR. How can they hope to get accurate results as to whether someone has been infected with H5N1 while they are simultaneously administering a medication that supresses the virus? This has got to be, in practicality, just like taking a strep test after one has begun antibiotics.

Yet, no one is talking about this problem, including Roche!

In the meantime was waiting produced by PCR second and third, the team of the doctor RSHS that was chaired by Dr. Hadi Yusuf ….continued to give the special medicine the patient suspect bird flu.

Pixie at 21:54---maybe the 3 week antibody testing is a more sensitive indicator of H5N1 infection. We still have that left. I don’t know if Tamiflu wipes that out too. Also what worries me alot is if the Fujian strain came through all those vaccinations deadlier, stronger and victorious, why won’t a superior strain come through all the Tamiflu???

Hi all. No new patients added in Indonesia today (I considered the person with fever in Klatu’s post, but doctors stated it was just normal fevers).

Pixie, nice catch on the Nepal thread about Mama Komariah first being suspected of malaria before being diagnosed with H5N1. I remembered us having the same discussion about cerebral malaria on an earlier version of this thread. The situation in Nepal is of concern.

Halo everybody and good morning!

Michelle in OK: Thanks & Happy B’day to your 11yo!

pugmom: I wish they were going back and retesting the suspect cases after 3 or 4 weeks but I don’t think they are. Why change good news into bad?

It was inevitable that China would find a strain was becoming resistant to one of its poultry vaxes simply because there is so much poultry vaccination going on there. But the Fujian strain has been around for a while, and China has mentioned several times that it was finding it had to change the recipe in its poultry vax, so that was an early signal that there was one strain or another that was becoming resistant.

Also, the vaccination of poultry with amantadine family vaxes by several countries ended up making one clade of H5N1 found in humans resistant to treatment with amantadines.

You are right - if and when we lay down Tami blankets like China vaccinates poultry, we may see a Tamiflu-resistant strain created. But in the meantime, do we in treating our humans or China in vaxing their poultry, really have any other practical choice? It would be impossible to ask China to go without chicken and eggs, and impossible for us to ask a community affected with human clusters not to use Tamiflu for the benefit of the rest of us. Hard questions.

Pixie, I am not sure how to find out specifics, but I do know that the bio-surveillence system that has been (is being) set up names certain hospital ERs, certain walk in clinics, certain physicians offices…. in each region to test for and report cases of influenza. The information is sent to the county public health department(s), who then relays the info to the CDC. The CDC compiles all the info and issues a (regional or state, or whatever) report so they can monitor the incidence of flu.

Did not make sense: the Group supranatural from Sumatra did ritual refused to acknowledge the child the goat in Lapindo mud yesterday.

This is the caption from the picture. Maybe they are trying to stop the mud volcano with a ritual of some kind. The article says something about building a new factory but having problems because of the mud volcano. I didn’t translate the full article.

This picture is good but not as good as Yam Man from PNG which I posted a link to on the Humor Thread not Humor Such Thread. You should go take a look at that one. I guess if the Indonesians saw pictures of midget-tossers and cow chip-tossers and the guys who carry their wives the farthest and win her weight in beer they may think we have some strange practices too.

It is great that Dr. Pad Dilangga at RSUAM is telling us the Tamiflu dosage given to his patient Joshua: twice 30 mg/the day. Tamiflu has been given by us since Tuesday (31–10))(plus antibiotics). This is very helpful information for the world community to know. I wish we knew more of these specifics.

It’s been five days at least since the throat swabs were sent to the Litbangkes lab, though. There are really not that many H5N1 patients and suspect cases that would cause this kind of a backlog in testing…. are there?

DURING EXACT combatted DENGUE FEVER; Face the Flu Season, When needing the Immunisation

6 November, 2006 / http://tinyurl.com/yeok7e

Health Minister’s APPEAL Dr Siti Fadilah Supari to the community to do the immunisation of flu considering November 2006 up until this coming January 2007 in Indonesia will happen the flu season, must get attention. Because at the time of the change in the season from dry to rainy, the community really quite was susceptible to the attack of various illnesses like influenza, dengue fever (dB), and several other illnesses.

The section head the DIY Health Dr Bondan Agus Suryanto SE Ma admitted, influenza including the serious illness attacked the community in the change in the season or this change of season. Especially again for the community that his health in the condition not better. The step in anticipation that could be carried out, that main was to guard the condition for the body with increased asupan the nutrient and guarded the health as well as the cleanliness of the environment. “Dengan the nutrient that was enough, it was hoped the condition for the body more could keep faced various illness attacks. While guarding the health of the clear environment can reduce the risk of various illness attacks including the fever berdarah,” Bondan words to KR, on Friday (3/11).

According to Bondan, the immunisation of influenza indeed was available, but in a mass fashion was not yet carried out in DIY. Uptil Now his characteristics were still individual or personal. For example the susceptible person suffered flu did the immunisation of upper influenza the wish personally or was based on the doctor’s suggestion.

While for dengue fever as far as this is concerned did not yet have his immunisation. While the child’s specialist doctor that also was known by the expert in dengue fever, Prof Dr Dr Sutaryo SpAK said, in the season pancaroba, the illness of dangerous influenza attacked people who often experienced the disturbance of the respiratory tract infection. For example the person who suffered asthma, often or found it easy to be attacked by flu like the cough and pilek, and the like. “Memang the immunisation of this influenza most were carried out individually, not was the mass movement like the immunisation of polio. The immunisation of good influenza was also carried out for susceptible people was attacked by influenza, was good for children and for the adult. Children and parents that his respiratory tract often experienced the disturbance, good also did the immunisation influenza,” clear Sutaryo.

Was related anticipation of the dengue fever illness, Sutaryo warned, moments as is now the case, where rain did not yet descend, was the opportunity most was good for combatted sources of the illness and the disseminator of dengue fever, that is pinched-pinched mosquitoes. “Saat the dry season like this, the mosquitoes population and pinched-pinched mosquitoes at least the amount. So as to be the golden opportunity for all the community to do the eradication of the mosquitoes nest and pinched-pinched mosquitoes and his mosquitoes personally. Later if the rain season has arrived, increasingly was difficult to combat the source of the spreading and the spread of the illness dB tersebut,” he explained. Moreover if moments as is now the case the community succeeded in combatting the nest and pinched-pinched mosquitoes, was hoped for in the period of the spreading danger dB later, the frightening illness this could be oppressed as maximally as possible.

Menkes Siti Fadilah Supari stated, the susceptible condition for the influenza illness and dengue fever must be anticipated since early. “Kondisi that must be guarded. For people who had money necessarily did the vaccination/the immunisation of flu biasa,” revealed Menkes. According to Menkes, to have to not get the flu, the WHO suggestion better be done by the vaccination. Available human flu now already estatis and the world wore him.

Menkes also predicted dengue fever has begun to be early in November this up until January 2007. Last year in November has been very high the number of dengue fever casualties and early August 2005 has happened dengue fever. While this 2006 in October did not yet have dengue fever and hopefully indeed was not again or if being could be oppressed as maximally as possible.

Concerning the new virus bird flu H5N1 available in Fujian China, according to Menkes was not yet in Indonesia. “Kalau that in Fujian China, H5N1 be different to in Indonesia, we were very specific. Virus bird flu of H5N1 Indonesia was different to Thailand, was different to Vietnam, but almost be the same as H5N1 in China, but that in Indonesia did not yet have the change that signifikan,” he said. Towards the possibility of this bird flu attack, Bondan Agus Suryanto said, if was the community that suffered flu that did not recover-recovered was accompanied breathless or pneumonia, then necessary diperiksakan to the centres of the available health service, in order to is known by the diagnosis or his identification. Because, flu was accompanied breathless was one of the signs from the bird flu attack to humankind.

During 1987 a total of 1393 cattle was examined for Schistosoma nasale infection at the Kandy slaughterhouse, Sri Lanka. The overall prevalence was 12.6%…6 types (of lesions) (0–5) were recognized; type 5 being the most severe, with cauliflower-like growths obstructing the nasal cavity. Older bovines…were more heavily infected (29.1%) than younger ones…The severity of the lesions increased also with the age of the animals. Observations on the localization of the lesions showed…they gradually spread over the whole mucosal surface of the anterior part of the (nasal) cavity…The histopathology showed that granuloma formation due to the presence of eggs was the most common feature of the respiratory mucosa.

Maybe this will help, ProMed Mail has picked up the cow snorting disease from the same Jakarta Post story. Their comments:

ProMED-mail <promed@promedmail.org> http://tinyurl.com/yawkmr <snip>

[Nasal schistosomiasis is a chronic disease of cattle, horses, and occasionally buffalo prevalent in the Indian subcontinent, eastern and southeastern Asia. In severe cases, there is a copious mucopurulent discharge, snoring, and dyspnea; milder cases frequently are asymptomatic.

Adult flukes of the causative parasite, _Schistosoma nasale_, are found in the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, but the main pathogenic effects are associated with the eggs, which cause abscesses in the mucosa. The abscesses rupture and release eggs and pus into the nasal cavity, which eventually leads to extensive fibrosis. In addition, large granulomatous growths are common on the nasal mucosa and occlude the nasal passages and cause dyspnea.

Though there is no reason to doubt the contribution of _S. nasale_ to the sickness described in the press item, its rapid course, if accurately reported, deserve caution in reaching a definite diagnosis; the possible involvement of other disease agents, including bacterial (e.g. anthrax), viral (e.g. EHD) or toxicological ones, should be excluded.

_S. nasale_ does not infect humans. - Mod.AS]

I think this fatality Juanto just came to light here for the first time. How many people are there with H5N1 symptoms in their hostpitals and how many are we just not hearing about? I wonder about that, and also wonder why they keep saying there is such a backlog in getting tests back for human cases. Chickens, I can understand - there are a lot of chickens potentiall infected and in the process of being tested. Are there sufficient human cases in the hospitals causing the human testing backlog, cases we never hear of if they test “negative?”

An “update” article from USA today about the situation in Indonesia discussing among other things the suspected genetic factor…nothing really new for the readers here except I wanted to share the last two paragraphs…

http://tinyurl.com/yh9ucb

People in the West don’t always appreciate how horrible the H5N1 virus is, says Irna Safrina, head of central disease control for the Karo district of Sumatra. Bird flu is not an easy sickness or death. It starts with a high fever that keeps rising, immune to the effects of anti-fever medication, she says.

Next comes difficulty breathing. People usually succumb within two or three days. And even when they’re on ventilators to pump air into their lungs, patients remain aware of what’s happening. “They were all conscious until they died, in a lot of pain,” Ginting says.

Exept for those in the West that are part of fluwiki perhaps. :(

Bird flu spreads among blood relatives

JAKARTA, Nov. 6 (UPI) — Healthcare workers in Indonesia are noticing that outbreaks of the deadly bird flu seem to come in family clusters, mostly affecting those linked by blood.

Indonesia is battling one of the worst outbreaks of the virus in the world, with four reported dead only in the last month, said USA Today.

Diana Ginting, head of a local health district office in Sumatra, where seven people died in May, told the newspaper, “No husbands and wives are infected; it’s all brothers and sisters, mothers and children.”

She and other health workers’ suspicion that the spread of the disease is aided by a genetic component was supported last week in a report from the World Health Organization. In human-to-human transmission cases in Indonesia, the report found they occurred among those carrying the same genetic trait, USA Today reported.”

Juanto could experience the high fever was accompanied by coughs since the week set.

Yes, everybody goes back to the countryside for their Lebaran holiday, the whole extended family gets together in Grandma’s village (what they call their village of origin). The entire country of Indonesia seems to have gone into motion. Women in Indonesia typically wear a headscarf but their participation in work and life is very full there.

Found it! On the thread My Dog is coughing BF in Deer . Here it is

Tom DVM – at 11:42 laurie in pa. At this point, I personally wouldn’t ‘put anything past’ H5N1 but to this point, it has not been possible for ruminant animals (those who eat grass with four stomachs) to get H5N1. These animals include: cattle, sheep goats, deer, elk, moose etc.

Omnivores, those with one stomach and also eat grass that is mainly digested in the appendix-caecum, are susceptible to influenza. Those animals would be pigs and horses.

That is at this exact point in time…in also was the case in 1918…although H5N1 is a freak virus and who knows what it will do in the future…remember this is the very first time that infuenza has been identified in cats…so it has already done it once.

excerpt from the Merck Vet Manual on Schistosomiasis

…”Cinical Findings- Hemorrhagic enteritis, anemia, and emaciation, which develop after the onset of egg excretion, are the major clinical signs associated with the intestinal and hepatic forms of schistosomiasis in ruminants. Severely affected animals deteriorate rapidly and usually die within a few months of infection, while those less heavily infected develop chronic disease with growth retardation. Many older cattle in endemic areas of Africa have an effective level of immunity against reinfection. Nasal schistosomiasis is a chronic disease of cattle, horses, and occasionally buffalo. In severe cases, there is a copious mucopurulent discharge, snoring, and dyspnea; milder cases frequently are asymptomatic.

Lesions: In the intestinal and hepatic forms, adult flukes are found in the portal, mesenteric, and intestinal submucosal and subserosal veins. However, the main pathologic effects are associated with the eggs. In the intestinal form, passage of eggs through the gut wall causes the lesions, while in the hepatic form, granulomas form around eggs trapped in the tissues. Other hepatic changes include medial hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the portal veins, development of lymphoid nodules and follicles throughout the organ, and periportal fibrosis in more chronic cases. Extensive granuloma formation also is seen in the intestine. In severe cases, numerous areas of petechiation and diffuse hemorrhage are seen in the mucosa, and large quantities of discolored blood may be found in the intestinal lumen. Frequently, the parasitized blood vessels are dilated and tortuous. Vascular lesions also may be found in the lungs, pancreas, and bladder of heavily infected animals.

In nasal schistosomiasis, adult flukes are found in the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, but again, the main pathogenic effects are associated with the eggs, which cause abscesses in the mucosa. The abscesses rupture and release eggs and pus into the nasal cavity, which eventually leads to extensive fibrosis. In addition, large granulomatous growths are common on the nasal mucosa and occlude the nasal passages and cause dyspnea…”

http://www.merckvetmanual.org/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/10408.htm

It doesn’t sound to me like the nasal form of infection is usually fatal. It does sound like the other forms take awhile to cause serious disease.

Olymom – at 17:49

I don’t know anything about the speed of lethality, but I do know that “schistomiasis” is a fluke (a parasite, not a whim) — at least one form can affect people, but it tends to be a long, painful illness. I also know that schistomiasis occurs throughout Asia and I think Africa as well.

Goodness, of all the things I thought I might learn about this year, “Indonesian cow snoring disease” was not one of them.

Treyfish – at 18:02

Influentia2 – at 18:29

From 01:10 Local people were stunned to find that their cows died within hours of showing signs of the disease

So theoretically these cows would have been sick a long time with this nasal schistosomiasis and after it progressed far enough they died.

On Tuesday, November 07 2006 pre-schoolers It Was Supposed Burung Flu’ TULUNGAGUNG- bird flu casualties continued to fall. This time was experienced by Siti Mukolifah, 3.5 years, the citizen of the Sambirejo Village, the Sambirobyong Village, the Subdistrict sumbergempol. Yesterday the night, the daughter of the two couples Taroni and Maryuti was run off with to RSUD Dr Iskak Tulungagung because of being suspected of being attacked by the virus avian influenza (AI). Casualties were brought to the hospital around struck 18.00 WIB by his mother and a nurse from the auxiliary Community Health Centre Sambirobyong. When arriving in RSUD, the temperature of his body was very high. Achieved 39 levels celcius. Apart from suffering the high fever, casualties also experienced coughs and pilek. From results of the laboratory inspection in the hospital, was not found by signs that headed to bird flu. Nevertheless, casualties continue to in treated in isolation space. His article had the story of direct contact with the chicken died because of bird flu. “From the laboratory inspection, while being not yet found by the existence of the lungs of the inflammation as the bird flu sufferer.” Earlier has been taken the sample of blood and his nose liquid and was sent to the Surabaya Laboratory Hall to ascertain this assumption, said RSUD public relations Dr Iskak Tulungagung Triwidyo Agus Basuki. Although results of the negative laboratory, further Oki-like this Triwidyo Agus Basuki was often greeted- RSUD continue to did anticipatory. This morning, his side will check again the condition for casualties. If results headed to bird flu then Siti Mukolifah will be reconciled to RSU Dr Sutomo, Surabaya. In the meantime, the community health centre nurse that his name did not want to be mentioned said, casualties were reconciled to the hospital because his condition was very worrying. He admitted, casualties suffered the high fever, the cough, and pilek like the indication of the person who was ill AI. “In Fact he has begun to be feverish last November 3.” But at that time the temperature of his body was not yet so high, still 36 celcius the level. He has been given by us bird flu medicine, Tamiflu. However earlier today (yesterday, red) hot his body was increasingly high, said the nurse. He explained, in casualties’s environment indeed many chickens that died. A week before casualties be sick, around one hundred chickens belonging to the citizen around died suddenly.

That is, Edi Awaludin, 21, casualties’s older brother that remained a house and Sri Wigati, 3.5, casualties’s neighbour. They yesterday suffered the high fever and pilek. The two of them have been given by us Tamiflu medicine. It seems that rather improved. Therefore was not reconciled by us to the hospital, he added.

I always thought in humans, Schistosomiasis flukes entered human legs from the snails in the water that the humans were wading in! How do these cows get it? Do they stick their noses in the water, or do the flukes enter via their legs in water?? Also, is Schistosomiasis endemic in Indo, I know it certainly is in Africa? Could it be related to the fact that there is more water/rain/monsoons in Indo right now?? Although from what I can tell, the really big monsoons have not hit yet. So many questions. Yes, and you are right, Joe Neubarth always had a picture of a dead, scabby cow that he said died by the thousands in China of Sezchuan Sheet(sp?)/H5N1 (on that other forum). He was the main tabulator of all the animal deaths around the world that he thought were possibly due to H5N1.

pugmom, yes maybe the cattle could contract it from standing in water. The question is, what water? I found this regarding drought conditions in the area where the cows died.

The Jakarta Post(Nov.4/06)- “Water crisis, harvest failures hit parts of East Nusa Tenggara”

Yemris Fointuna, The Jakarta Post, Kupang

After a lengthy drought the situation in East Nusa Tenggara has become critical, with tens of thousands of hectares of paddy fields drying up and residents facing water shortages.

In Kupang regency, West Timor, residents must walk two to three kilometers to fetch water. Similar scenes are playing out in Timor Tengah Selatan regency and northern areas of Fores island…”

…” According to data from the East Nusa Tenggara Food Security Agency, more than 110,600 people in 157 villages in eight regencies are facing serious food shortages as a result of the drought…”

…” Some experts have predicted the drought will peak by the end of November, giving way to the rainy season. However, the local meteorology and geophysics agency says the drought could continue through to next month.

“Normally, it would have already started raining by now, but it hasn’t turned out that way this year. Even the wind is strong and dry,” agency head Albert Kusbagio said. “

I didn’t know what to make of those comments. The first one had been sick since the 3rd. Says the other two were supposed were affected by the bird flu so maybe that is the key. Maybe they were never tested and Tamiflu was given as a precaution. Doesn’t mention what if anything was given to the parents. Could be tomorrow the whole bunch will be hospitalised or given Tamiflu like RSUD Dr Iskak Tulungagung did with Abram and Eni’s family not to long ago. Maybe they aren’t taking any chances with the staff at RSUD Dr Iskak Tulungagung this time, but that is just speculation on my part:)

Another article about the latest death.

Another Indonesian villager dies of bird flu-like symptoms

A 17-year old resident of Kalimandi village in Banjarnegara, in Indonesia’s Central Java province, died of a disease suspected of bird flu Monday morning.

The results of tests conducted on Juwanto’s blood had shown that there was reason to believe he was suffering from bird flu, Hartono, director of the local Margono Soekarjo Hospital said. Juwanto was previously a patient of Immanuel Hospital in Banjarnegara.

“We are now still waiting for the results of a test on samples of Juwanto’s blood by the Health Ministry in Jakarta,” Antara news agency quoted Hartono as saying.

He said Juwanto was immediately put in an isolation ward after being admitted to Margono Soekarjo Hospital on Sunday evening as he was in a very weak condition.

Juwanto was showing symptoms associated with bird flu such as high fever, breathing problems and coughing when he entered the hospital.

His parents meanwhile said that Juwanto started developing the symptoms on Wednesday after being treated at Immanuel Hospital for a week. “We did not believe that he had contracted bird flu. Initially, we thought he was only suffering from a lung infection, “ they said.

Mistinem, 32, a resident of Kaliurip village, also in Banjarnegara district, died of bird flu last Oct. 13. She died after being treated for 12 hours at the Margono Soekarjo Hospital. She had been ill since Oct. 8.

pubmom - at 21:05: Before dying, said Paimin, his child could be feverish and had a headache, a day after Lebaran.

I really do not like that mention of headache as a symptom. We keep hearing about flu-like symptoms that are assumed to be not flu in part because they are presenting with a headache and are instead then assumed to be something else (like malaria).

As far as Ministem and Juanto’s locations go, they were both in Central Java, but apart from that I have Purwoejo (Juanto) near the southern coast, and Sigedang (Ministem) on the northern coast.

Nimbus - at 22:27: Juwanto started developing the symptoms on Wednesday after being treated at Immanuel Hospital for a week. “We did not believe that he had contracted bird flu. Initially, we thought he was only suffering from a lung infection, “ they said.

So there’s some of the information we were looking for this morning about why Juwanto would suddenly just turn up as a fatality at Margono Soekarjo Hospital. In fact, Juwanto was previously a patient of Immanuel Hospital in Banjarnegara for a week.

My question is: why did they not test Juwanto for H5N1 while he was in Immanuel Hospital? He was symptomatic, and most importantly he had met the penultimate qualifying hurdle for H5N1 testing - chickens had died on and near his property recently. Why did they wait until he was deceased to test Juwanto for H5N1?

Is there not some kind of organized clinical approach to cases presenting with flu-like symptoms in Indonesia, or is everyone just in some kind of state of denial? What is making the physcians not include H5N1 on the list of possible suspects?

Indonesian bird flu cases ‘far from pandemic’

November 09 2006 at 10:47AM

Jakarta - Indonesia, which has the highest number of human bird flu infections and fatalities, was unlikely to be hit by a pandemic of the disease in the immediate future, an official has claimed.

“We are still far from a pandemic,” said Bayu Krisnamurthi, the chief executive of the Indonesian National Committee for Avian Influenza Control and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (Komnas FBPI).

However, he cautioned the possibility of a pandemic remained, as no one could predict how the H5N1 virus that caused the disease would mutate.

The Komnas FBPI, set up by presidential decree in March, coordinates government responses to H5N1 bird flu cases, which experts fear could mutate into a form that spreads easily between humans, setting off a global pandemic.

The vast majority of bird flu cases in Indonesia and elsewhere have occurred after contact with infected poultry.

Indonesia now has 72 confirmed cases of human bird flu infection, 55 of them fatal.

But Krisnamurthi said the ratio of confirmed cases compared to reported suspect cases was decreasing, from about 30 to 35 percent six months ago to currently about 14 percent.

He said although bird flu had been found in 30 of the country’s 32 provinces, human infections were contained to nine provinces.

He said the ratio between confirmed cases and fatalities remained largely unchanged at about 75 percent, due to late treatment following late diagnosis, and limited health facilities. - Sapa-AFP

I wonder if the reported VERY fast death of chickens (like 5 minutes) could be a result of people not reporting sick chickens. Then when the chickens die, they report that there were no symptoms prior to death to avoid getting in trouble. Certainly would be typical people behavior here, especially if the compensation is poor or non-existant.

The following question was asked of Dr. Webster in an interview, late 2005. Note his answer.

How do you personally feel about the pandemic?

H5N1, I think, is the most dangerous, the most highly lethal virus that I have ever encountered. When you inoculate a chicken in the afternoon, and the next day, the chicken is dead – the virus has gone through this business of attachment, penetration, replication, and kills overnight – that’s an extremely lethal virus.

This is the hottest one I’ve ever seen. It terrifies me that the virus, if it ever learns to transmit from human-to-human, we are in terrible trouble. I know what this virus does in the chicken and in the ferret, and in the animal models, so don’t blame me if I am concerned about what is going to happen to you and me if it learns to transmit. I think we need to put every possible resource in place, to put our defenses in order, to do what we can to ahead of time, before this virus does learn to transmit in humans.

If you speak to the influenza community in the rest of the world, they may not be as scared as me, but there is general agreement that this is a virus that we have to take extremely seriously. There is not one scientist, influenza virologist, in the world who would dismiss this as something that we don’t need to be concerned about.

Regarding Turtles

The box turtle is a commonly encountered turtle that you should not eat. It feeds on poisonous mushrooms and may build up a highly toxic poison in its flesh. Cooking does not destroy this toxin. Avoid the hawksbill turtle, found in the Atlantic Ocean, because of its poisonous thorax gland.

Asahan = shavings = dust in Indo. How dust figures into that article I haven’t quite figured out, but that is what Asahan means in the original article according to the Webster’s Indonesian Dictionary. Go figure. I read last night that the guy who detonated the BOM in Jakarta at the A&W there always went out in his shorts too. I still haven’t figured out what that had to do with any of it except finding a place to hide a BOM may be more difficult. The article also mentioned that he ordered a Pepsi and fried chicken right before he detonated and that A&W food is good too. Sometimes we have to laugh or we will cry. Have a good day CG.

MaMa – at 01:06: A two-and-half-year-old boy, who died on Monday morning after three days in hospital, and a 35-year woman, were confirmed by the country‘s laboratory tests positive of having avian influenza, said an official of the anti-bird flu center of the ministry….Both of them have been treated in the Jakarta’s designed bird flu hospital of Sulianti Suroso, ’the official said.

Is this the beginning of something new? Will any news of H5N1 infections in humans now be required to come through the anti-bird flu center of the ministry? Will reporters not be able to converse directly with the staff at hospitals like Sulianti Suroso any longer? Is this a trend, and if so, is it just an Indonesian trend or will other countries begin to do the same? With the election of a new DG, will countries everywhere be urged to better “manage” news of H5N1 in humans?

Boy dies of bird flu, woman sickened from virus Nov 13, 2006

JAKARTA (AP): A young boy died from bird flu on Monday, bringing the country’s death toll to 56, while a woman infected with the H5N1 virus was being treated in hospital, the health ministry said.

The two patients lived in different towns on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta and had not been in contact with each other, said a staffer at the Health Ministry’s bird flu information center.

The 2 1/2-year-old boy who died was admitted to hospital on Sunday, said the staffer, who declined to give her name, citing ministry rules.

Indonesia has recorded 56 deaths from bird flu since 2004, more than any other country.

Most of those killed have been infected by domestic fowl, but WHO fears the virus could mutate into a form that easily spreads among humans, sparking a pandemic with the potential to killmillions.
