Cold fronts linked to bird flu outbreaks in Europe
Fri, Apr 9 2010HANOI (Reuters) - Two people in northern Vietnam have been infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus and health authorities are carrying out tests to see if 11 others who have come down with fever have been infected.
Health
The two who tested positive - a 22-year-old man and a 27-month-old baby girl - as well as the 11 suspected cases are all residents in the same commune in Bac Kan province.
"All the patients have been isolated and tests were taken to verify the reason of their sickness," said Deputy Director Luu Xuan Hoa of the Cho Moi Medical Center in Bac Kan province.
"She (the baby) is a neighbor of the first man who has tested positive for the H5N1 virus, while others live in the same hamlet," he said.
Four people on the suspect list have been discharged.
Disease clusters are a special concern because it may mean the agent - in this case H5N1, which kills up to 60 percent of those it infects - is gaining the ability to jump from person to person.
Vietnamese media, however, reported that dead poultry had been seen in the village and that the patients had either eaten or come in contact with sick birds. This opens the possibility that the two patients may have been infected by the same source.
"We have no evidence to conclude that there is a human-to-human infection," Hoa said.
Vietnam had two bird flu deaths earlier this year - a 38-year-old woman and a three-year-old girl.
The H5N1 virus has once been a disease confined largely to birds, only rarely infecting people.
Since 2003, it has infected 493 people, killing 292, or nearly 60 percent, with Vietnam reporting 59 deaths. Almost all these infections were believed to have taken place directly from bird to human.
There have been two sizeable clusters - one in which eight family members died on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in 2006 and another in Turkey in which eight people were infected and four died.
In the Sumatra case, the virus went on for two generations and then stopped - a 37-year-old woman was believed to have infected her 10-year-old nephew, who went on to infect his father.
Another smaller probable case of human-to-human transmission occurred in Thailand in 2004, where a mother died after tending to her sick daughter for hours.
Detected two patients infected with H5N1 virus
RFA-14-04-2010
According to information from Reuters said two patients were infected with H5N1, and Vietnam health officials are continuing to monitor 11 other people suspected of infection.
A male patient aged 22 and 27 a baby girl [have been confirmed with] avian influenza virus infections and is being treated at a hospital in Northern Province Kan.
Liu Xuan Hoa, deputy director of Market New Medical Center said a neighbor girl of male patients should potentially be infected is very high.
Four others on the list of suspects has been identified as not being infection.

The machine translation is a bit tough to read, but it almost looks like Dr. Duong is releasing a final report on this indicating that everyone else tested negative twice and thus didn't have H5N1 (but that 33 contacts is a new number - it isn't clear how many of them had symptoms).
Re: Vietnam - 3 Reported H5N1 Human Cases in Bac Kan - 11 Hospitalized, 21 Total Suspected Cases
Those 33 individuals appears to be a complete set of contacts (kudos on contact tracing) as they explicitly include HCW, and do not indicate that those individuals are ill.
