Vietnam Reports 3rd Human Bird Flu Case This Year
Foreign 2009-02-16 14:13
HANOI, VIETNAM: A Vietnamese man has tested positive for bird flu, the third confirmed infection by the deadly H5N1 virus in the Southeast Asian country this year, health officials said Monday (16 Feb).
The 35-year-old man from northern Ninh Binh province, some 60 miles (100 kilometers ) south of Hanoi, developed a high fever on 5 Feb after slaughtering and eating several ducks his family had raised, said Vu Van Can, deputy director of the provincial health department.
The man was admitted to the National Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Hanoi on Friday (13 Feb), where he tested positive to the H5N1 virus, Can said. The rest of his family tested negative.
Vietnam has seen two other bird flu cases this year, neither of them fatal.
Bird flu has killed 52 people in Vietnam, including five last year, since it began raging through Asian poultry stocks in late 2003. However, there have been fewer human cases since Vietnam began an aggressive vaccination program in domestic flocks.
The H5N1 strain has killed at least 254 people worldwide since 2003, most through contact with sick birds. The virus remains difficult for humans to catch, but scientists are monitoring it because of its potential to mutate into a new human influenza strain, which could infect millions. (AP)

HANOI, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) --
A 32-year-old man from Vietnamese northern Ninh Binh Province has been tested positive to the H5N1 virus, an official from the Vietnamese Ministry of Health (MOH) told Xinhua on Monday. The patient, named Cu Van Chieu, is the third bird flu patient in Vietnam this year, said the official with the Preventative Health Department under the MOH.
He was taken to hospital on Feb. 13 with severe breathing difficulty. He had contact with fowls before developing bird flu symptoms, said the official.
The patient is currently treated at Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology.
So far, seven provinces of Vietnam nationwide have been hit by the avian flu, including three provinces in Mekong Delta, namely Ca Mau, Soc Trang and Hau Giang, two northern provinces of newly-confirmed Bac Ninh and Quang Ninh, and two central provinces of Nghe An and the newly-confirmed Quang Tri, said the Department of Animal Health of Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The reemergence of bird flu has led to the culling of thousands of fowls in Vietnam this year.
Bird flu is spreading wide in Vietnam with complicated developments. The already-confirmed infected province Mekong Deltaof Soc Trang has reported more local poultry farms struck by bird flu, said the Vietnam News Agency on Monday.
Vietnam has reported three human cases of bird flu so far this year. They are an eight-year-old girl from northern Thanh Hoa province in early January, a 23-year-old woman Ly Tai Mui from northern Quang Ninh province in early February and the newly-confirmed man Cu Van Chieu.
The 23-year-old woman Ly Tai Mui has shown slow recovery as she is still suffering severe respiratory illnesses, according to a recent state-run news program by the Vietnam Television Station.
In 2008, bird flu killed five people in Vietnam.

The 32-year-old man from Kim Son district in the northern province of Ninh Binh, about 100 km (62 miles) south of Hanoi, had slaughtered and eaten poultry about two weeks before developing flu infection, the Dan Tri (www.dantri.com.vn) quoted health officials as saying.
They also said his family's poultry also died from unknown reasons.
On Tuesday Vietnam's Animal Health Department said there were still seven provinces including Bac Ninh and Quang Ninh in the north and several Mekong Delta provinces affected by the latest recurrence of the bird flu outbreak in poultry. Last week the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed a 23-year-old Vietnamese woman from the northern province of Quang Ninh also had bird flu. She is known to have had contact with sick and dead poultry before falling ill, the WHO said. Avian influenza has affected millions of birds around the world, particularly in East Asia, and can be caught by humans who come into contact with infected birds -- an ever-present danger in some societies where people keep poultry in the yards of their homes or live close to food markets. Scientists fear the H5N1 strain of bird flu virus could mutate into a form that would spread easily between people, leading to a pandemic that could infect millions.
