The World Health Organization (WHO) started on March 3rd in Fukuoka Japan, an international conference to discuss novel influenza which causes fears of a worldwide pandemic.

WHO stated that once an outbreak was confirmed, it would try to determine and announce morbidity and mortality of the new virus by analyzing the first hundred cases.

WHO called for cooperation from participating countries.

The conference will continue until the 6th.

The conference is attended by 65 participants who are in charge of pandemic influenza preparedness plans in 14 countries mainly from the east Asia.

WHO presented the participants a counter-outbreak guideline which WHO had revised for the first time in four years at the end of last year.

The new guideline aims to quickly seieze and publicize pandemic influenza’s mortality and others, and also emphasizes that not only the governmental bodies but also the whole society from citizens to the media should fight against a pandemic together.

Dr. Takeshi Kasai, advisor for the WHO's Western Pacific Regional Office said:
“While each country already has a pandemic influenza action plan , it would be great if the plans are revised according to the latest knowledge.”

Jakarta Ready Anticipating Avian Flu

Tuesday, March 03, 2009

JAKARTA - Merebaknya bird flu in the area around Jakarta such as Jakarta, Bekasi, and Bogor, the range Pemprov DKI Jakarta prepared anticipate outbreaks that kill. So that this disease is not merebak back in the capital.

Health Office (Dinkes) and Fisheries and Animal Husbandry (Disnak) DKI Jakarta, which both bertangungjawab up of bird flu in Jakarta, say, ready to anticipate the outbreak was caused by the H5N1 virus.

Recombinomics: Spike in Fatal H5N1 Indonesian Cases Raises Concerns



Commentary

Spike in Fatal H5N1 Indonesian Cases Raises Concerns
Recombinomics Commentary 14:37
March 3, 2009

Krisnamurthi had little details about the latest deaths, saying only that two were siblings from the city of Bogor and the others were women from Bekasi and Surabaya.

Republika also reported on Tuesday that two more deaths from the disease occurred at the weekend near the capital Jakarta -- a 5-year-old girl from Depok, and an 8-year-old boy from Bekasi.

The above comments from wire reports describe 4 more confirmed H5N1 fatal cases near Jakarta and describe 2 more recent suspect fatal cases in the same general area. However, additional local reports describe a fatal case in Tangerang, which was said to have been lab confirmed, suggesting that there are at least 7 fatal H5N1 infections in the areas surrounding Jakarta, which are in addition to the two fatalities reported for Tangerang and Bekasi last month.


Details on these cases are somewhat lacking because of the news blackout that delays reporting. WHO generally follows with situation updates, but these updates come after Indonesian announcements and trail disease onset dates by weeks or months.

The familial cluster in Bogor was described in local media reports and the two sisters died in late January. In addition, the patient in Surabaya also died in January, but paramedics linked to the hospital in Surabaya were reported as hospitalized in critical condition, raising concerns that the H5N1 confirmed fatal case directly or indirectly infected the paramedics (see updated map).

The recent seven confirmed or suspect fatalities follow the news blackout last year, which followed a series of additional clusters. The announcement of the blackout was accompanied by claims that the lower number of confirmed cases was due to more rapid treatment. However, the rapid treatment would not lower the number of infections, unless there was significant human to human transmission. Collection of samples after the start of treat may low the number of lab confirmed cases because of a lower viral titer linked to treatment. Rapid treatment could lead to a lowered cases fatality rate, but there is little evidence in the confirmed cases. Historically the case fatality rate for human H5N1 in Indonesia is approximately 80%. However, the rate for confirmed cases reported this year is 100% for the six cases, all of which were on Java. Indeed, it has been over a year since a recovered H5N1 case was reported on Java. Since that cluster in February of 2008, all 10 reported cases last year were fatal. Thus, for Java the case fatality rate has been at 100% for all 16 of the most recent reported H5N1 cases.

This high case fatality rate strongly suggests that milder cases are not report, either because they test negative because of titers lowered by treatment, or they are not tested at all because they are misdiagnosed or self medicated at home, which has been described for many suspect cases. Indeed, many of the fatal cases die within hours of being transferred to an infectious disease hospital after local treatment at home, clinics, or smaller local hospitals and fatally infected family members linked to lab confirmed cases have been misdiagnosed as having lung inflammation, dengue fever, or typhus. The recent Tangerang case was diagnosed as dengue fever, and the recent Bogor case was diagnosed as having dengue fever and typhus prior to lung x-rays and reports of contact with dead or dying poultry, which then led to the H5N1 diagnosis.


The spike in H5N1 cases in the Jakarta area increases concerns that the number of H5N1 in Indonesia in general and the Jakarta area in particular, are markedly higher that the recently announced confirmed cases.

Indonesian Official: Four More Bird Flu Fatalities

From Avian Flu Diary: http://afludiary.blogspot.com
Tuesday, March 03, 2009

# 2856

Overnight the International press has reported that the head of the Indonesian Bird Flu Commission, Bayu Krisnamurthi, revealed that the death toll in Indonesia from bird flu had increased to 119 cases.

This is an increase of 4 fatalities since the last numbers were provided to the WHO (World Health Organization) on January 22nd.

There are reasons to believe, however, that this latest tally may be several weeks old.

On February 11th and 12th, newshounds on both FluTrackers and the Flu Wiki picked up on local media reports of statements attributed to a couple of local officials that the new tally stood at 145 cases and 119 deaths.

On Flutrackers, posts #96, #97, and #98 (Hat tip Dutchy & Fla1) on this thread have local media reports attributing these new numbers to the local head of UNICEF, Jinung D Kritanto, and to Emil Agustiono, Vice Chairman Executive Committee of Komnas FBPI.

And that was three weeks ago.

The issue was `discussed' on the flu forums, but no follow up ever came from the Health Ministry, and the WHO never updated their numbers.

Today's announcement (Xinhua has it, for some reason, as 117 deaths) of 119 deaths has yet to be reflected in the WHO's numbers. Perhaps later today, assuming that Depkes - The Indonesian Health Ministry - plans to confirm these numbers.

First this, from the Associated Press, then some discussion.

4 Indonesians die of bird flu; toll climbs to 119

By IRWAN FIRDAUS
Associated Press Writer

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Four Indonesians have died of bird flu, bringing the death toll in the country hardest hit by the disease to 119, an official said Tuesday.

Bayu Krisnamurthi, chief of the National Bird Flu Commission, said all the victims were believed to have been infected after coming into contact with sick poultry. They were from Java island and died in January and February.

Indonesia, which has been criticized in recent months for refusing to immediately make public news of human deaths and in some cases hushing them up all together, has been worst affected by bird flu since it started ravaging Asian poultry stocks in late 2003.

Krisnamurthi had little details about the latest deaths, saying only that two were siblings from the city of Bogor and the others were women from Bekasi and Surabaya.

(Continue . . .)

The `siblings from Bogor' would appear to be Ruslani (30) and his sister Nurul, who both died in mid January. A third sibling, Ridwan (35), was reportedly suffering from a high fever and refused medical treatment.


Details on this incident are here.

We've never heard anything, one way or the other, about the fate of the 3rd sibling.

The `woman from Surabaya' is most likely ST (18) who died at Dr Sutomo hospital in Surabaya in late January.

After her death, we received word (see Indonesia: Health Care Workers Quarantined) that a doctor and 4 paramedics of Dr Sutomo hospital Surabaya were quarantined due to severe flu-like symptoms.

Two tested negative for H5N1, but as of Feb 22nd, 3 were supposedly still in critical condition.


Once again, we've heard no follow up to this report.

Pinpointing the 4th victim, a woman from Bekasi, becomes more difficult. Over the past two months there have been multiple reports of suspected cases from that city.

Hopefully we'll get more details when the WHO updates their information.

Of course, the actual number of human H5N1 infection in Indonesia is unknown.

These are just the `officially recognized' cases.

Indonesia's bird flu death toll climbs to 119

03 Mar 2009 06:14:05 GMT

JAKARTA, March 3 (Reuters) - Four Indonesians died from bird flu in February, bringing the country's total death toll from the disease to 119, officials at the national bird flu commission said on Tuesday. "There were four cases and all four died in February," said Bayu Krisnamurthi, head of the national bird flu commission. Indonesian newspaper Republika also reported on Tuesday that two more deaths from the disease occurred at the weekend near the capital Jakarta -- a 5-year-old girl from Depok, and an 8-year-old boy from Bekasi. The national commission said that samples were being tested in Jakarta to verify the cause of death in both cases. Indonesia, which has stopped publishing updates of bird flu deaths immediately after they occur, has the highest toll from the disease of any nation. Experts fear that the virus might mutate into a form easily passed from human to human, sparking a pandemic which could kill millions. (Reporting by Olivia Rondonuwu; editing by Sara Webb)

Flu influenza: still the psychological Home

Monday, 02/03/2009-12: 49 PM)
Người dân vẫn thờ ơ với dịch cúm gia cầm. People still lethargy with HPAI.
- This is the conclusion of the Standing Deputy Prime Minister of Government Nguyen Sinh Hung at the conference online with the 15 provinces of the HPAI in MARD past.

72% new outbreak is on the ducks

. According to Bui Quang Anh, Director Department of Animal Health Department, since the beginning of the year to date, HPAI has appeared in 44 communes belonging to 23 districts in 13 provinces and cities.

In particular, there are 11 Bac Lieu province, Bac Ninh, Ca Mau, Dien Bien, Hau Giang, Khanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, Quang Tri Soc Trang and HPAI not last 21 days.

On cause of outbreaks of Bùng, Mr. England said, mainly due to worry that, in all levels of government and the livestock in the application of measures to prevent outbreaks.

Besides, the raising of small, strong people sawdust as well as local not serious, effective measures for epidemic prevention, especially management of flocks of ducks running and should have more opportunities spread on a large scale. The new outbreak in recent years mainly on ducks, accounting for 72%. "In addition, the vaccination vaccine achieved a low rate, less technical guarantees, as well as control illegal import of poultry through border difficult and has prevented the Bùng", he stressed the UK.

3 Control must be translated in 3 months

Rating on guidance on prevention, Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung stressed: "Having experienced many years against the disease but we still have a psychological lơ, owner of the steering and management. The organization of production and management of poultry, slaughter the poor. While we admit to the base of the local but the vaccination is not effective, in part due to people receiving the error is due to management. So far, we have destroyed more than 50,000 birds and 53 people vong/110 of treatment. This does not only affect production, loss of assets but also the network of people.

We are buying, especially in the South, the government and people are not allowed to do nhàng disease. According to Deputy Prime Minister, if the restrictions on the poor and will be extinct. We must be responsible for enhanced system of government at all levels, responsibilities of individuals and sectors, especially agriculture and rural development, health.

According to Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, to cause outbreaks of Bùng is the word. "Local is a lack of vaccine, the Ministry will move immediately vaccine, including vaccine backup. Problem is the direction to drastically and synchronized at all levels. Target is in 3 months we have to control outbreaks, "he said Phat.

Experts fight H5N1 bird flu using smallpox vaccine

01 Mar 2009 08:02:47 GMT
Source: Reuters
By Tan Ee Lyn HONG KONG, March 1 (Reuters) - Scientists in Hong Kong and the United States have developed an experimental H5N1 bird flu vaccine for people by piggybacking it on the well-tested and highly successful smallpox vaccine. Initial tests on mice showed the vaccine to be highly effective, they told a news conference in Hong Kong on Sunday. "It produced a lot of (H5N1) antibodies and the speed of antibody response was far higher with this strategy than the Sanofi one," said Malik Peiris, a microbiologist and bird flu expert at the University of Hong Kong. Peiris was referring to Sanofi-Aventis's H5N1 bird flu vaccine for humans, which has been approved for use in the United States. In an article published in the current Journal of Immunology, the experts from Hong Kong and the U.S. National Institutes of Health described how they inserted five key components of the H5N1 virus into the smallpox vaccine. "We put in many other proteins into that vaccine; we are using it like a carrier, if you like, a piggyback," Peiris said. The vaccine uses a Vietnam strain of the H5N1 virus and appeared to be broadly protective. Mice which were inoculated with it successfully fought off an Indonesian strain of H5N1, according to the scientists. Since 2003, the H5N1 avian influenza virus has infected 408 people in 15 countries and killed 254 of them. It has killed or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds as it spread to 61 countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. While H5N1 rarely infects people, experts fear it could mutate into a form that people could easily pass to one another, sparking a pandemic that could kill tens of millions and topple the global economy. Smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1979 and the experts are hoping that their novel H5N1 vaccine can ride on the various advantages of the smallpox vaccine. The smallpox vaccine is very cheap, has a long shelf-life of several years and does not require highly sophisticated laboratories, making it easier for poorer countries to produce. "It is very stable and you can pack them off to developing countries and use them. They require refrigeration but it is less critical than other vaccines," Peiris said. "Smallpox production capacity has gone down but many countries have the technology and the expertise to do it, and if necessary, it can be very quickly scaled up." "But for other strategies (of producing H5N1 vaccines), it is not possible to rapidly set up manufacturing plants all over the world as they require very specialised plants." However, it will take at least a few more years before the vaccine would be ready for the market. It must be tested next in ferrets, then monkeys, before human clinical trials can be carried out.
