Last night's report from MetroTvOnline that I blogged about here has been confirmed by Reuters this morning, in the following report.
Jakarta bird flu hospital overwhelmed with patients
Mon 15 Jan 2007 6:10:31 GMT
JAKARTA, Jan 15 (Reuters) - One of two hospitals designated to treat bird flu cases in the Indonesian capital has been overwhelmed with patients with symptoms of the disease amid a spike of new cases this year, a doctor said on Monday.
Indonesia has seen four fatalities this year after a six-week lull in cases, taking the number of human deaths from bird flu in the country to 61, the highest in the world.
Nine people with bird flu symptoms are being treated at Jakarta's Persahabatan hospital and its isolation rooms can no longer accept any more patients, said Muchtar Ichsan, the head of the hospital's bird flu ward.
A 5-year old girl was being treated at the intensive care unit, he said.
"If we get more patients, we will send them to Sulianti Saroso," Ichsan told Reuters, referring the country's main bird flu treatment centre in North Jakarta.
The newshounds on the flu forums are doing a terrific job of tracking suspected and confirmed cases from media reports. From this list, you can see why a hospital might run short of isolation beds.
Maintaining this list is an arduous task, and a group effort. The status of patients change by the hour, as new information becomes available. A listing of current cases is updated on the new FluWiki frequently.
A tip of the hat to Michelle in OK, and all of the other wikians who help to put this list together.

So far, in the first 15 days of the month, there have been 69 suspected cases of avian flu in Indonesia. Five cases have tested positive. Twenty-two have been ruled negative. And 42 remain on the `suspect' list.
The next few days should give us more information on the status of these suspected cases, and tell us whether these cases are expanding in number, or are leveling off.
