Another Cambodian is killed by bird flu virus still a threat to Cambodians


Wednesday, 21 April 2010 05:28 DAP


Correspondent .PHNOM PENH, April 21 (DAP) – Another Cambodian man was killed by bird flu virus still a threat to this impoverished Southeast Asian nation, the World Health Organization and Cambodian health minister warned on Wednesday.

A 27-year-old Cambodian, from the eastern province of Prey Veng, died on April 17 as a result of respiratory complications after contracting bird flu virus H5N1, said a joint statement was seen by DAP.

The government urged the locals to report the suspicious deaths poultry to the assigned contact persons so that the experts could take an initial preventative action before escalating.

“Avian influenza H5N1 is still a threat to the health of Cambodians. I urge communities to be on the look-out for sick poultry and to report poultry die-offs to the ministry of health and agriculture hotlines so that they can be investigated before people start to get sick,” said health minister Mam Bun Heng in a joint statement with World Health Organization.

The latest death brought the country’s death toll from the deadly virus rose to 8 out of the 10 confirmed cases of H5N1, said the release.

The ministry of health’s officials are now sending experts to the affected area to conduct filed investigation to the identify man’s close contacts and to initiate preventative treatment as required, it said.

“Health officials are also coordinating with the ministry of agriculture, forestry and fisheries teams who are investigating possible poultry deaths in the area,” said the press release.

Globally since 2003, there have been 494 laboratory confirmed cases of avian influenza with 293 related deaths, it said.

The virus does not spread easily between humans, although the virus H5N1 spreads between sick poultry and sometimes spread from poultry to humans.

But experts fear in the past that the constantly mutating H5N1 virus could change into a form easily transmitted from person to person and potentially kill millions worldwide.
