According to their latest suspected bf cases spreadsheet, there are currently 11 suspected bf cases (people presenting with pneumonia symptoms, I think) in Phichit (พิจิตร).

http://dpc8.ddc.moph.go.th/db8/disease/04_bird_day/up/group4_tw1mtE720072006.pdf

Table 1 on this page enumerates all suspected bf cases (suspicious pneumonia cases) from the 4 provinces between Jan 1, 2005 - July 20, 2006. Note the 11 "on investigation" cases from Phichit province.

Table 2 enumerates all suspected bf cases (suspicious pneumonia cases) this year.

It's not clear if these 11 cases "on investigation" include/are the same as the 10 reported bf suspects we have seen in news reports.

Yesterday (July 20) there were 11 cases "on investigation" in Phichit province (see first table below).

Today (July 21) there are 12 cases "on investigation", 9 of them reported today (listed in the first column). So, 8 from yesterday were excluded.

There's also one newly reported case "on investigation" from Nakhon Sawan province and one from Uthani Thani province.
