Two Suspected Cases of Bird Flu in Mataram
« Oct 16, 2011    03:16:54 PM »
Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. Two people suspected to have contracted the H5N1 strain of avian influenza are being treated at West Nusa Tenggara General Hospital in Mataram.

The two patients were identified as 11-month-old Muhammad Aditya from Praya in West Lombok district and 53-year-old Inaq Sahnun from Pringgarata in Central Lombok district.

Mentari, Sahnun’s daughter-in-law, said that two days earlier Sahnun began running a fever, had a cough and shortness of breath. She was taken to a hospital in Praya where she was placed under observation for two hours before being sent to Mataram for suspected bird flu.

“The doctor at Praya suspected [Sahnun] had contracted bird flu, but said further tests were needed,” Mentari said.

Sahnun’s house is located in an avian influenza-endemic area, where more than 400 chickens were reported to have died suddenly. Preliminary findings suggest the cause of death may have been bird flu.

Sahwan, the father of Aditya, the other patient, said his son had been running a fever for two days. He said he brought Aditya to a public heath center in Pringgarata before taking him to Mataram.

Sahan, the infant’s grandmother, said he often played with the around 100 chickens that the family raised at their house. Twenty of the chickens died suddenly in the past week, also suspected to be from bird flu.
