ACT Alliance alert: outbreak of unidentified disease in Uganda
Date: Fri 3 Dec 2010

ReliefWeb, ACT Alliance, report [summ., edited]
<http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900sid/JALR-8BSEPA?OpenDocument>
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brief description of the emergency
----------------------------------
An unidentified deadly disease broke out in Abim village located in
the Karamoja region in northeastern Uganda in late October 2010.
Several cases of the disease were reported and several deaths have
resulted. The disease then spread from Karamoja to neighbouring
districts. On Wed 1 Dec 2010, some cases were also reported in Gulu.
The signs and symptoms of the disease indicate that it is most likely
not dysentery, as it is sometimes thought to be in the absence of a
clear diagnosis. Symptoms point to Ebola [haemorrhagic fever] but
authorities have been unable to confirm that disease. The most common
symptoms are headache, fever, and vomiting large quantities of blood.
Tests have been done [presumable in progress] in Entebbe (Uganda) and
in Atlanta (USA).
Unequipped medical staff are fearful of being infected, leaving their
duty stations because they lack personal protective gear. Some refuse
to take care of patients. Kitgum district also lacks transport,
including ambulances to transport patients. Pader district had one
ambulance which no longer functions. People refuse to transport
patients for fear of being infected. In villages, residents do not
know what to do or how to protect themselves. Some have tried to move
out of affected areas, potentially spreading the diseases to new
areas. The spread is fairly slow but follows common "travel routes"
throughout the region.
The number of affected people is unknown. About 60 cases are known,
with at least 20 deaths reported. However, there could be many more
cases and deaths that are unreported, and many more carriers. The 1st
6 fatalities in Kitgum were one woman, 3 men, and 2 male youths. None
had any serious previous medical history. One had malaria at the time
of death. Death usually occurred within 3 days of the 1st symptom.
(Sources: Dr Alex Layoo, medical superintendent Kitgum Government
Hospital, Dr Tenywa (World Health Organisation), Medecins Sans
Frontieres, Uganda Ministry of Health, and Agago District Local
Government).
Impact
------
The death rates so far are 25 percent in Agago district (that is, one
in 4 people with symptoms have died), and in Abim, the death rate has
also been about 25 percent. However, in Kitgum district, 8 out of the
10 patients admitted to St Joseph's Hospital have died. Some
connection with animal (domestic and wild) illness and death has been
suggested. In Agago especially, links between sick animals and human
cases have been examined. It seems to be established that the disease
can be spread from human-to-human most likely through body fluids.
Two major factors for spreading the disease at the moment include
people trying to move away from affected areas, spreading the disease
further, and scared health staff who, without protective clothing,
refuse to care for patients. There is need for mobilisation by
agencies, sensitisation of population, patient care, patient
isolation, and proper and safe handling of bodies.
National and international response
-----------------------------------
An emergency meeting was held in Kitgum on 1 Sep 2010 bringing
together local and international NGOs, governmental institutions, UN
agencies, and ACT Alliance member LWF [Lutheran World Federation]. It
was agreed that all actors participate in the following coordinated
response: [Curious as the 1st cases were reported in October 2010.

ICCO [Interchurch Organisation for Development Cooperation],
DanChurchAid [Danish humanitarian NGO], Church of Uganda/PDR
[Planning, Development, and Rehabilitation] (the active members of the
Uganda ACT Forum) have approved the Lutheran World Federation proposal
to apply for ACT Rapid Response Funds [RRF]. LWF's primary role at
this stage will be community mobilisation and sensitisation to prevent
further spread of the disease. Provision of protective gear to village
health teams can also be considered so health care workers can move
patients and bodies without being exposed to the disease.
Planned activities
------------------
LWF Uganda, with approval from the ACT Uganda Forum, intends to apply
for RRF, with focus on mobilisation/sensitisation of communities and
possibly to provide protective gear for village health teams, in order
to stop the outbreak and save lives. Discussions in working groups and
coordination committees in Kitgum continues. More precise priorities
would be set on 2 Dec 2010. [The funds listed in detail in the

Vietnam-Seminar held on controlling bird flu
A seminar on preventing and controlling bird flu in the Northern delta provinces was held on December 3 in Hanoi by the Department of Animal Health under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The seminar showed that the bird flu has been spread to 23 provinces across the country and over 75,000 sick ducks have been culled since early this year.
There are several reasons for the large outbreak of the disease, including indifference by the local people and authorities, and weak coordination between agencies dealing with bird flu.
Also, many poultry flocks have not been vaccinated, and the illegal transportation of infected poultry has not been controlled. The small scale of poultry farm also causes the difficulty of the disease prevention and control
Nepal-Import of poultry products goes unchecked
2010-12-03 6:58 PM
BANKE: Though Nepal has banned the import of chicken and egg from India fearing bird flu, poultry products are still being brought from the neighbouring country into Nepalgunj.
Banke-based poultry traders say the continued import has badly affected local business. "Indian chicken and egg are imported from Rupaideya of India in huge quantity daily," said Jamal Siddhiki, a poultry trader at Nepalgunj Surkhet Road.
"Earlier, the quarantine office and police had stepped up checking, but the tight monitoring has been loose now," he said.
It is said that chicken and egg imported from India are being openly sold in Khajura, Rajha, Kohalpur and rural areas in Nepalgunj. Traders say police personnel and customs employees deployed on the border are working hand in glove with those involved in importing chicken and egg from India.
Experts: Pneumonia at Epidemic Level in Denmark
COPENHAGEN -- Local media reported on Thursday that Denmark is experiencing a nationwide pneumonia epidemic after a tenfold increase in the number of positive cases.

The government [of] Tanzania is sending a team of medical experts to Kagera region to investigate reports of an outbreak of a deadly disease suspected to be Ebola [haemorrhagic fever] in border villages in neighbouring Uganda. The Deputy Minister for Health and Social Welfare, Dr Lucy Nkya, said in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday [1 Dec 2010] that the team will comprise medical experts from her Ministry, the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) and the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH)."You are just breaking the news (on the outbreak of the disease in Uganda) to me. Thanks, and I will make sure that a medical team is dispatched to Kagera region as soon as possible," she told The Citizen in a telephone interview.
She said they will summon his senior lieutenants at the ministry and make immediate arrangements to send the medical team to Kagera region.Reports from Uganda quoted health officials as saying that a disease that has been killing people [in] Kitgum, Abim and Agago districts could be a new strain of Ebola [haemorrhagic fever].
The situation report of 26 Nov 2010 indicates a cumulative figure of 32 cases with a fatality rate of 25 per cent since its outbreak in Balang village in Mutu parish in Paimol Sub County, Agago district early this month [November 2010].
A National Professional Officer with World Health Organization in Gulu, Dr Emmanuel Tenywa, said a total of 19 people are currently admitted at an isolation ward in Kalongo Hospital with acute signs and symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting, and severe frontal headache, sometimes associated with pain in the eye without conjunctivitis and blood in their stool. He said already one of the health workers in the hospital has developed the disease after she accidentally came into contact with vomit of a patient suffering from the disease."The illness thus progresses, with patients reporting abdominal pain localized in the epigastrium, and as it progresses, patients develop restlessness, mental confusion, and aggressive behavior which eventually results in coma and death," he said.
--Communicated by:ProMED-mail <promed@promedmail.org>[This press report provides a more detailed description of the condition of the patients in the Ugandan outbreak and states that the cumulative number of cases is now 32 with a fatality rate of 25 percent. The symptoms of the patients do not resemble those associated with haemorrhagic fever, and the outcomes are more severe than expected for a diagnosis of amoebic dysentery currently favoured in Uganda.

Vets at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) have published research which points to live bird markets in playing a role as sources of renewed infection from the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus.
The research by PhD candidate Guillaume Fournié, along with Dr Javier Guitian from the RVC, involved developing a model which shows how areas can benefit from longer unoccupied periods after destocking and subsequent cleaning and disinfection.
"Live bird markets can be a reservoir of infection for domestic poultry, and may therefore be responsible for sustaining H5N1 virus circulation," Mr Fournié said.
"Compared to interventions applied in farms - such as stamping out and vaccination - our model shows that frequent rest days are an effective means with which to reduce H5N1 HPAI infection rates.
"Furthermore, our model predicts that full market closure - as has been implemented in some countries such as Egypt and Vietnam - would only be slightly more effective than rest days to reduce transmission of the disease."
Models developed by the team were based on data from the live bird trade in Hong Kong and they stress that it applied only to chickens.

Ministry confirms bird flu of highly virulent H5 strain in Japan
Published December 01 2010
TOKYO — Japan’s farm ministry confirmed Wednesday that the chickens suspected of having avian flu at a farm in Shimane Prefecture had been infected with the highly virulent H5 strain of avian flu virus.
It represents the first infection since February 2009 when a quail farm in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, was found to be infected by another strain of avian flu virus.
The prefectural government in western Japan said it has found at least two breaks in a metallic bird net at the poultry farm in the city of Yasugi which could allow wild birds to enter the farm, although it had earlier announced there were no abnormalities in the net.
The local government also said earlier in the day that it found several holes in a plastic sheet covering the poultry house, but that the net was inside of the sheet and birds should have not been able to get into the house, denying any relation between the holes and the possible infection.
The prefectural government suspects that the virus was brought by a wild bird and aims to identify the infection route in cooperation with researchers from the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry.
Shimane also continued Wednesday to kill the chickens at the farm and is aiming to complete the culling of some 23,000 birds by the end of the day.
The culling began Tuesday, a day after five chickens were found dead at the farm and tested positive for bird flu in preliminary tests, and about 3,300 were destroyed by Tuesday evening.
It is the first time that culling has started before the type of avian flu virus has been identified, according to the ministry.
Neither Shimane nor neighboring Tottori Prefecture found any other chickens suspected of having bird flu.

Vietnam H5N1 Dien Bien
DBP - At the same time last year in the province of Dien Bien district, the H5N1 bird flu virus has claimed the lives of three people. [See Below] Characteristics of the H5N1 virus can survive many years in the environment and can grow in favorable weather conditions, cold, so at this point, the risk of outbreak or spread of the epidemic is difficult to avoid off.
High risk is spread in Dien Bien district has the commune often occurs as outbreaks in poultry: Do Luong, Yen Thanh, Thanh Hung ... Property located along the canal irrigation works Mushroom. The ability of avian influenza spread through canal irrigation system is great because people said the cooperative has a habit of discharging all the channels. Actual evolution of avian influenza in the previous year partly proved that.
Meanwhile, Dien Bien district, commune and especially in the basins along the river and canal system Mushroom Mushroom irrigation area is also the largest flocks in the province. According to preliminary estimates by authorities, the average per day from 6000-8000 the national bird be circulated in the region, together with that of participants in the circulation of goods. While this area is defined at risk of avian influenza outbreaks high annually to influenza vaccination for poultry.
The important thing is that in this context but the local administrations and farmers to start prevention of avian influenza is very superficial, the mandarins. It can be said is very subjective. Disturbing than the most base of human resources in order to mobilize for the prevention (veterinary staff, the nurses ...) of this region are short and weak. Additional capacity does not meet the prevention. Thus, the cooperative will encounter in the early detection of active disease in poultry and in humans to encircle, sterilization, to avoid wide spread. This is not the first time and the lack of key personnel, ability and means of disease prevention in poultry and humans are exposed, is not the first time psychological neglect, disease prevention awareness be warned. In the past 5 years, must continue to confront the pandemic H5N1 and H1N1, respectively above the hole was exposed.
According to monitoring results of cholera Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology showed that the H5N1 strain virulence genes in late 2009 was many times higher than the H5N1 strain in 2004. In addition, this virus strain has spread very fast speed when conditions are favorable. It is particularly dangerous when on the outbreak, the mortality rate is very high, as occurs in real time in November 2009, the mortality rate is 100%.
Risk of influenza outbreaks in poultry and in humans is obvious. This time, the provincial functional departments also make recommendations and implement disease prevention. Local governments in high-risk areas should have specific measures to urgently reach deal on this dangerous diseases. And above all, need people to raise awareness, to avoid subjective prevention superficial.
