WHO: Indonesia Confirms Two Human H5N1 Cases
# 2529
This announcement comes as WHO member states are gathered in Geneva for an Intergovernmental Meeting on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, which runs through Saturday.
As noted further down in this article, not included is the 15-year-old girl from central Java who's doctor publicly stated that she had died from the H5N1 virus early last month.
Indonesia confirms two human bird flu cases - WHO
09 Dec 2008 14:15:19 GMT
Source: Reuters
GENEVA, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Indonesia has confirmed two new cases of human bird flu, the first officially reported since September in the country which remains the hardest-hit by the deadly virus, the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday.
A nine-year-old girl in Riau province developed symptoms on Nov. 7 after poultry apparently died at her home, the WHO said in a statement. She was hospitalised five days later and discharged on Nov. 22 after recovering.
A two-year-old girl from East Jakarta died on Nov. 29 after developing symptoms on Nov. 18, it said. "Investigations into the source of her infection suggest exposure at a live bird market."
The two latest cases took Indonesia's known number of bird flu infections to 139, including 113 deaths, since 2003, according to the United Nations health agency.

The WHO Update reads:
Avian influenza ? situation in Indonesia ? update 45
9 December 2008 -- The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has announced two new confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. A 9-year-old female from Riau Province developed symptoms on 7 November and was hospitalized on 12 November. She recovered and was discharged from hospital on 27 November. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Investigations into the source of her infection indicate poultry deaths at her home on 2 November.
The second case, a 2-year-old female from East Jakarta, developed symptoms on 18 November, was hospitalized on 26 November and died on 29 November. Laboratory tests have confirmed infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Initial investigations into the source of her infection suggest exposure at a live bird market.
Of the 139 cases confirmed to date in Indonesia, 113 have been fatal.
The primary focus of this week's WHO gathering is to discuss, and hopefully resolve, issues pertaining to the sharing of virus samples and vaccines.
Indonesia is claiming IP (Intellectual Property) rights on viruses that emerge from within their borders, and believe that they should control their distribution and use.
Indonesia has refused to `share' virus samples until guarantees are made that they will be provided with vaccines, made from these samples, at an affordable price.
Additionally, Indonesia has been slow to report human cases of H5N1 infection - preferring to provide aggregate totals every few months instead of real-time reporting.
This dispute has been ongoing for two years, and during that time the world has had very little access to virus samples from Indonesia, creating a dangerous blind spot for scientists hoping to detect changes in the virus.
While the official death toll stands at 113 in Indonesia, due to inconsistent and oft times inaccurate testing, few observers believe that number fully reflects the situation.more....

H5N1 Case in Riau Indonesia Confirmed
Recombinomics Commentary 15:31
December 9, 2008
The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has announced two new confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. A 9-year-old female from Riau Province developed symptoms on 7 November and was hospitalized on 12 November. She recovered and was discharged from hospital on 27 November. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Investigations into the source of her infection indicate poultry deaths at her home on 2 November.
It was not immediately clear why the WHO toll does not include a 15-year-old Indonesian girl in central Java whose doctor said she had died in early November. Presence of the virus had been confirmed in a health ministry lab, according to Agus Suryanto, head of the medical team treating the girl.
The above comments confirm an H5N1 case in Riau Province and question why a fatal infection of a 15F in central Java was not reported. The WHO situation update also described confirmation of a fatally infected 2F from East Jakarta.
The 9F had been described by the local media, but the 2F was not. However, there have been a large number of recent suspect cases and clusters in the local media, raising concerns over undercounts, as indicated in Reuter?s comment on the lab confirmed 15F.
The reporting of the two recent cases is a marked improvement over reports of earlier cases this year, which were delayed by weeks or months. However, the steady stream of suspect cases or clusters in Indonesia and reports that 50% of poultry sold in Java was H5N1 positive create causes for concern.

H5N1 Fatality in East Jakarta Raises Pandemic Concerns
Recombinomics Commentary 17:57
December 9, 2008
The second case, a 2-year-old female from East Jakarta, developed symptoms on 18 November, was hospitalized on 26 November and died on 29 November. Laboratory tests have confirmed infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Initial investigations into the source of her infection suggest exposure at a live bird market.
The above comment from the most recent WHO situation update describes a second recently H5N1 confirmed case in Indonesia. The above case was in East Jakarta, where there have been many previously confirmed cases. This is also true of the case in Riau. However, recent reports have indicated 50% of the poultry sold in markets in Jakarta, Banten, and West Java is H5N1 positive, raising concerns of widespread human cases in the area. The two most recent cases were reported relatively soon after confirmation. However, earlier cases were reported weeks or months after confirmation, raising serious concerns.
In addition to the news blackout on confirmed cases, other lab confirmed cases and clusters have been denied and in other cases, index cases of H5N1 confirmed clusters have been said to be due to lung inflammation, dengue fever, and typhus.
The concerns surrounding these cases has been compounding by a withholding of samples from third party analysis, and a lack of sequences data. The last human H5N1 sequences are from patients who died almost two years ago (January 2007).
Recently a large PCR confirmed cluster was reported in Makassar, and was reported to be lab confirmed was denied by the Ministry of Health. The denial was followed by the placement of a WHO team into the region to monitor H5N1 in poultry. The H5N1 situation in poultry has also been unclear since Indonesia has not filed an OIE report since 2006 and has halted shipment of poultry samples to the WHO regional lab in Australia.
These denials of lab confirmed cases and the withholding of samples and sequences have raised serious pandemic concerns.
Timely reports of confirmed cases and more interactions with third parties, including release of samples and sequences, would be useful.

Another Bird flu death reported in Indonesia, health ministry denies.

Jakarta, December 10: Two-year old girl child from east Jakarta died from bird flu, confirmed a World Health Organization report. The little girl child died in the end of the November. The agency confirmed that she had tested positive for bird flu considering her symptoms.
However, the Indonesian Health Ministry has denied that the bird flu was the only reason behind girl?s death. According to them two laboratory reports confirmed that her blood samples tested negative for virus H5N1. They are also not ready to accept the foreign reports, which confirmed that bird she tested positive for bird flu.
Indonesia is the leading country in bird flu cases, as the death incidence in the country count to half of the world?s total bird flu deaths. This virus started affecting poultry stocks since 2003 and killed around 224 people worldwide, of those 112 people had died in Indonesia.
Health Minister of Indonesia Siti Padilah Sufari tried to maintain, "Both of the laboratory tests showed that she was negative of bird flu, so the total death toll (of bird flu) remains 112."
The experts fear that the virus may develop into form that is more dangerous and spread through people killing millions of them around the world.
A WHO bird-flu handbook says, ?It is impossible to predict how lethal the pandemic strain might be. 'Modeling research using today's global population has projected that at minimum between 2 [million] and 7.4 million people might die?.
Since 2003, at least 71 people died from virus H5N1 in Asia. Other countries that reported deaths are Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and China.
Indonesia is now taking strong steps to prevent the spread of bird flu viruses.
