Until December 2008 the total cases raised up to 139 people with 113 people of them were died. The purpose of this research was to understand risk factors connected to Avian Influenza A H5N1 occurrence in Indonesia. The research was taken place in the referral hospitals and in about 100 m radius around the place of cases.

While respondents on contacts with sudden death of poultry had significantly different from their risk factors to the occurrence of cases, p value was < 0.001 and Odd Ratio was 72.6. From this research, it can be assumed that contact with sudden death poultry has risk factors of occurrence of Avian influenza A H5N1 72.6 times, compared to the controls.
