On 11/1 patients appear fever, cough, shortness of breath and was taken to visit family, treated in Bu Dang General Hospital with a diagnosis of viral pneumonia.

Patients discharged after 4 days in respiratory distress, rapid progression of lung injury. Samples of these patients were also taken for testing. Near the patient's family also has chickens died of unknown causes.

According to Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha, deputy chairman of the Vietnam infectious, influenza A/H5N1 incidence of mortality but not high but they accounted for 50% of cases, brought by the A/H5N1 virus highly pathogenic, causing severe lung damage, disease progresses very quickly.

If influenza A/H5N1 virus infection, early treatment gives new value for the first 3 days of illness and the treatment time gold antiretroviral effectiveness. "It is early antiviral use will control the virus, the body's response to pathogens will be reduced, milder lung lesions.

Meanwhile, the trafficking trade in the local common border with Cambodia is not tightly controlled, along with the psychological subjectivity of livestock, poultry slaughter, led waterfowl influenza A / H5N1 in the southern provinces always outbreak.

Department of Preventive Medicine, said Tran Dac Phu, after detecting cases of influenza AH5N1 deaths in Binh Phuoc province, the Ministry of Health has directed the Department of Health Binh Phuoc epidemiological investigations and enhanced surveillance, prevention against disease, Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City Investigation Group established cases, test points poultry locally.
