EGYPT - 11? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah & Ash Sharqiyah governorates
Re: EGYPT - 10? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah [& Ash Sharqiyah] governorates
4-ABBA asks: How many different towns in Egypt have current cases?
Good question. I haven't sorted that out (yet). Anybody have any idea?
Edit: Just a note -- the 3 current confirmed cases (all of whom have now died) are from one village/town. The remainder are suspected cases awaiting test results.

Actually, there are four confirmed cases and all have died. The first case was hospitalized Sept 30 and died Oct 30, but she (39F) was from Samanoud, which is adjacent to the Nile River and about 12 miles north of Hanut Kafr wich is the location of the 3 family members. They are just north of Zitfa (pop 94K). Hanut Kafr is 15 miles east of Tanta (pop 408K and capital of Al Ghabiyah). There are 5 suspect cases in Tanta from 4 villages.
There are two suspect cases from Sanamoud, which is location of first case. Sanamud is just a few mles east of Mahalla el Kubra (pop 434K - largest city in Al Ghabiyah). It is just 15 miles north of Tanta and has four suspect patients from three villages (including the two suspect cases from Sanamoud).
There are also two patients in Zigazig (pop 287K) which is about 35 miles southeast of Tanta.
Thus, there are 4 confirmed (and fatal) cases and 11 suspect cases. 9 of the suspect cases are with a 15 mile radius from Tanta (or within 15 miles of the four confirmed cases). The other two are within a 35 mile radius of Tanta (or within a 20 mile radius of the three family members).

Yeah, that's right. I was just thinking of the current cases.

Dr. Niman,
Well, isn't this just creepy! Creepier than Indonesia's slow simmer. If these suspected cases are confirmed, could this be a case of B2H made easier by all the dangerous polymorphisms that you have been describing in your updates? It's hard to imagine that these particular individuals in various villages have been directly infecting each other despite the relative closeness of the villages. Is this a mild first wave where there are a number of geographically-dispersed cases all around Tantra that have escaped official confirmation? Can you suggest how this type of geographic dispersion could have occurred?

All of these cases are in the Nile Delta which is frequented by migratory birds. US NAMRU recently published H5 sequences from teal in the Nile Delta in December, 2005. One was Qinghai and the other has low path H5.
The birds migrating through Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have Qinghai H5N1 and they recombine with local birds that are infected. The recent sequence (from the October fatal case) had the "Qinghai Egyptian" markers, but had new acquisitions from other Qinghai isolates.
Ths "new" version had M230I, which is a clear concern. US NAMRU has at least 2 positives from the family of three and I would expect the sequences to be public in the next week or two. So far the "new" version has killed all confirmed cases and the cluster of 3 is the largest reported to date in Egypt, so transmission to humans appears to have become more efficient.

Ok. Here's a map of the villages where I *think* all of the latest confirmed & suspected cases from Al Gharbiyah and Ash Sharqiyah come from. Note that there are also two suspected cases reported from Bani Suwayf governorate which is ca. 100 km south of Cairo.
CONFIRMED CASES:
The 3 confirmed, deceased Farid family members were from Kafr Hanut >>
(3) Hanem Ahmed Fattouh the sponsor (51F) - homemaker from Shubra Waqqas, in Al-Santa district
Didn't find 'Shubra Waqqas' but marked Al-Santa/As-Santah on the map >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...ah/map/5932475
Zagazig Fevers Hospital:
in the eastern [Ash Sharqiyah governorate] about
(6) Amal Hassan Fawzi's transfer from the region of "the triumphant station" [Mansoura She] in Zagazig
(7) its daughter "Fathiya Said" to the hospital of Zagazig fevers.
Not sure where "Mansoura She" is, but indicated Zagazig on the map.

So there we have it, at this point:
four confirmed patients (all dead) and 11 suspected patients (the ones that Theresa mentions below plus two she didn't mention--in Beni Suef--mentioned earlier:

Note that Hoda Abdel-Hamid has the same surname as the confirmed family.
Ah. Surnames in Egypt. Now there's a tricky one, 'cause Egyptians don't actually have surnames! Not usually, anyway.
Egyptian naming is interesting. You don't get a family surname -- you get a given name (eg. Theresa) -- and then you tack on the (first) name of your father and the (first) name of your grandfather (so, in Egypt I would be Theresa Thomas Thomas!):
... in Egypt ... there is no such thing as a surname. In Egypt you simply list your forename, followed by your father's forename and then your grandfather's forename. Some families then add a surname, but this is optional. Most people are known simply by their forename followed by their father's forename ....
So, the person in Beni Suef with the names "Abdel-Hamid" is unlikely to be related to the family in Al Gharbiyah.
Also, the family in Al Gharbiyah with the 3 deaths has been referred in the Western press as the Farid family as if that's their surname, but that's probably not correct.
Finally -- if I am not mistaken -- women in the Arab/Muslim world often changed their name when they have a son to "So-and-so's mother" -- for instance, if a woman was to have a son named Reza, she would become "Reza's mother" or something like that. This may not apply to Egypt, though.
Thanks for summing up, Sharpe!
