Bump again.

The Ministry of Health in Indonesia should consider this post as another request for more information about these individuals from South Sulawesi.

Three young brothers from a family in South Sulawesi all died in late December, early January from an unknown illness reported in the media as possibly bird flu. And at least another 15 individuals were treated as suspected bird flu patients in <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w

South Sulawesi had one confirmed human case of H5N1 in 2006. There is no reason why there could not be human cases on the island in 2012.

Although our attention is focused on the dozen or so other potential bird flu victims scattered around Indonesia this past week (link), we are not forgetting about these poor sick and dead individuals from the Gowa regency in South Sulawesi. The world deserves a response from the Ministry of health on the status of these individuals.
