Deaths among poultry in the neighbourhood have recently been reported. The source of exposure is currently under investigation.

The second case is a 37 year old female from Tangerang, Banten Province. She developed symptoms on 1 January 2007 and was hospitalized on 6 January 2007. She remains in intensive care. Initial investigations suggest sick poultry as the possible source of infection.
