• Bird Flu Patient in a Coma

August 10, 2009

Yogyakarta:   The condition for a bird flu suspect patient with the initials AMM (29) who was treated in the Pusat Public Hospital (RSUP) Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta is critical because she is experiencing respiratory failure.  

“We continue to monitor the development of the patient who currently uses the ventilator as a respiratory aid,” said the Division Head of Humas RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta, Trisno Heru Nugroho, in Yogyakarta on Monday.  

According to him, the female patient was reconciled to RSUP Dr Sardjito on August 6 2009 from RS PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul in a condition that was not good.  At this time, he said, the patient, who is in a coma, was placed in the special ward that handles the swine flu and bird flu sufferers.

“We received information that before she was treated in RS PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul, AMM had contact with poultry during a party in the Gunungkidul Regency,” he said. “Apart from AMM,” he said, “RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta also treated a bird flu suspect patient with the initials RR (12) and two swine flu suspect patients.  The condition for RR was far better compared to AMM,” he said.

Heru regretted that she did not have a single family member who guarded AMM while she was undergoing intensive treatment in RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta.

“After being reconciled here (RSUP Dr Sardjito), the person who brought AMM only gave a visiting card and a mobile phone number.  We tried repeatedly to contact this telephone number, but it was in fact inactive,” he said.
