    Palembang Chickens Die From Bird Flu
    February 1, 2011

    Palembang: Emil Kilkenny reported the deaths of 25 chickens owned people, a few days ago. Chickens belonging to Palembang Jalan Diponegoro citizens died due to bird flu infection.
    The Head of Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry (DP2K) Palembang, Sudirman Tegoeh, confirmed saying that Emil admitted most of the chickens were bought from the Bird Market, located in the region 17 Ilir Palembang. Chickens were kept in the circular cage, next to his house. And a few days ago, 2 month-old child was exposed to fever illness, but Emil was not suspicious. Emil's suspicions emerged after two days of her temperature, no chicken died suddenly. Emil immediately phoned his family in Jakarta and on the advice of the family who suspected avian influenza virus (H5N1), Emil took the initiative to move his chickens to Kemang Sweet Kel Bukitbesar Palembang.
    "Apparently, when the 25 chickens were evacuated in Kemangmanis, Emil deposited at a friend's house in Purnomo also died suddenly. This information we get from the family of Emil and we immediately take action quickly," said Sudirman.
    He said he went straight to the location and to investigate. The chickens are dead. Admittedly, the monitoring team, including himself, had to act in accordance with procedures to destroy the chickens in a manner where they are previously cut first and then burned in the hole. They directly sprayed disinfectant in the location where it was discovered the chicken that died suddenly. Admittedly, since this case is reported, they immediately took action in anticipation of directly combing suspected sites infected with bird flu.
    Rapid test results conducted by his personnel from the spit of chickens that died suddenly was by using a special tool, the results are already known to be bird flu positive. The owner of the chickens that died suddenly, said Sudirman, has even had blood samples and throat fluids taken for laboratory testing.
    "There were about four people in one family, whose blood has been taken to test whether or not they have been infected by bird flu. But she had fever and was hospitalized in Palembang. Mother was not affected by bird flu but only ordinary fever. It's not treated again at the hospital," he said.
    Another precaution was to give Tamiflu to people suspected of having bird flu. Emil who wanted confirmation was reluctant to give details. . . .
