Epidemiology of Cases of H5N1 Virus Infection in Indonesia, July 2005–June 2006

Abstract

Sporadic and family clusters of cases of H5N1 virus infection, with a high case-fatality proportion, occurred throughout Indonesia during 2005-2006. Extensive efforts are needed to reduce human contact with sick and dead poultry to prevent additional cases of H5N1 virus infection.

Influenza A: From highly pathogenic H5N1 to pandemic 2009 H1N1. Epidemiology and clinical features

“…There is usually a history of exposure to dead or sick poultry/wild birds, their secretions or excretions during the week prior to illness. Activities involving close contact such as defeathering, preparing poultry for cooking, holding or playing with sick poultry, handling fi ghting cocks and eating raw or undercooked poultry products have been implicated [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Human-to-human transmission has only been documented in 1 case of transmission from sick child to mother and possibly 1 case of a cluster of 8 patients in a family in Indonesia in 2006 [7,8].…”

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.2.1 and clade 2.3.4 viruses do not induce a clade-specific phenotype in mallard ducks

“…Research 25 A study describing the epidemiology of 54 human cases of H5N1 infection in Indonesia is published. Conclusions included that 76% of cases were associated with poultry contact, and the source of infection was not identified in 24% of cases.…”

Grippe aviaire en décembre 2007

“…La contamination humaine se fait au contact d'oiseaux (principalement des volailles) infectés par le virus H5N1, malades ou morts [9], mais la transmissibilité à l'homme est faible [10]. Le premier cas humain, hormis celui de 1997, a été rapporté en 2003.…”

“…Le premier cas humain, hormis celui de 1997, a été rapporté en 2003. Les cibles principales sont les enfants et jeunes adultes sains [9]. Le tableau clinique associe une fièvre et une symptomatologie respiratoire.…”
