Two-year-old girl contracts bird flu AFP/Cairo
A two-year-old Egyptian girl has contracted bird flu, the 60th reported case since the first outbreak of the disease in the country in 2006, a health ministry spokesman said yesterday.
The toddler has been taken to hospital and is in stable condition, said ministry spokesman Abdel Rahman Shahin.
Twenty-three people have died of bird flu in Egypt. Most of the victims have been young girls or women, who are generally in charge of looking after poultry in rural areas.
Shahin said the percentage of fatalities from bird flu in Egypt is less than in other countries that have seen outbreaks of the disease.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) called earlier this month for an investigation into why many of the victims have been young children.
Egypt hosted an international conference on bird flu in October, when Washington pledged an additional $320mn to the fight against the disease amid fears it may yet escalate into a global pandemic.
The H5N1 strain of the virus that is most dangerous to humans first emerged in Asia in 2003 and has since caused nearly 250 deaths, according to WHO figures.

[Giuseppe]

Re: Egypt - Human Confirmed/Suspected Bird Flu Cases, Feb 8, 2009+

The risk factors for the toddlers are unclear. Increased mobility may lead to more exposure to backyard flocks, but infections in older children has been frequently reported previously suggesting the sudden rising in toddler cases may be linked to immunological protection in older patients due to cross reactivity with H1N1 seasonal flu, or an unreported exposure to prior H5N1 infections.

[From above Dr Niman commentary.]

Cross-reactivity between H1N1 and H5N1 antibodies in humans was previously suggest by professor Edwin Kilbourne but at the time from several parts this concept was discarderd.

Why did most people discard this idea and - further - could be actually possible?

Cross-reactivity between H1N1 and H5N1 antibodies in humans was previously suggest by professor Edwin Kilbourne but at the time from several parts this concept was discarderd.

Why did most people discard this idea and - further - could be actually possible?

I think the cross reactivity with seasonal flu was largely discarded because only the N1's have the same sero-type, but human and avian N1's are fairly distinct. Similarly, most of the immunological activity is directed against H, and H1 is quite distinct from H5.

However, an immunological explanation of some sort is appealing because toddlers combine mobility/access to H5N1 with a relatively naive immune system.
