A spokesman said the woman, from the province of Kafr el-Sheikh, apparently became infected after coming into contact with sick poultry and showed the first symptoms of the disease on April 7. He said her condition was serious.
Egypt's first case of bird flu was recorded in 2006, and 64 people have since become infected with the deadly virus, 24 of whom have died.
The 63rd bird flu case was confirmed near Cairo 10 days ago.
As of April 8, a total of 417 bird flu cases had been registered worldwide since the virus was first detected in 2003, resulting in 257 deaths, according to the WHO.
Although there have been no incidences of human-to-human infection, experts fear that the bird flu virus may mutate into a form that could be easily transmitted from person to person, causing a global pandemic.

H5N1 Human Infection No.64 in Egypt


The ministry of health has announced today officially H5N1 human infection No.64. 33 years old Sadia Ahmed Abdel Latif from Kafr El-Sheikh is no.64 in the long human infections record of Egypt.
She showed the symptoms of the virus starting on the 6th of April , she entered the hospital on the 8th of April ,she was given tamflu still her condition is critical right now , insh Allah she will pass this critical phase and recover soon.
Of course the regime is busy fighting the fearful Hezbollah cell that will bomb the high dam in Aswan and is ignoring the big health time bomb in Egypt right now.
It is reported that 40% of poultry in the market are infected by H5N1 and the WHO believes the virus will evolve to human to human infection in Egypt and we act in a very passive mode as if we do not have a serious matter to deal with. I do not eat chicken anymore for God Sake !!!
By the way I heard that we are importing H5N1 infected poultry ,I do not know how if we have this so-called Vet. inspection committee but I won?t be shocked if this is true.

وأكد المتحدث باسم وزارة الصحة، عبد الرحمن شاهين، أن حالة الإصابة الجديدة لسيدة تبلغ من العمر 33 عاماً، من مركز "قلين" بمحافظة "كفر الشيخ"، شمالي القاهرة، وتُدعى سعدية أحمد عبد اللطيف، مشيراً إلى أن حالتها الصحية "حرجة"، وفقاً لما نقلت وكالة أنباء الشرق الأوسط.

The Health Ministry spokesman Abdel-Rahman Shahin, the new case of a woman, aged 33, from the "Kulain" province "of Kafr el-Sheikh", north of Cairo, called Saadia Ahmed Abdel Latif, pointing out that the health condition of "critical", according to news agency quoted the Middle East.

وقال المسؤول الحكومي، إن بداية ظهور الأعراض على المصابة كانت في السابع من الشهر الجاري، حيث أُدخلت على إثرها مستشفى "حميات كفر الشيخ"، وهي تعاني من ارتفاع بدرجة الحرارة، وفشل في التنفس، وأرجع سبب إصابتها إلى "تعرضها لطيور نافقة، يُشتبه في إصابتها بالمرض."

ووفقاً لوزارة الصحة، فقد توفي 23 مصاباً منذ بداية توثيق الإصابات في عام 2006، الأمر الذي دفع السلطات المصرية إلى إعدام كميات كبيرة من الطيور، مما أضر كثيراً بصناعة الدواجن، التي تعتمد عليها نحو خمسة ملايين أسرة.

According to the Ministry of Health, 23 patients have died since the beginning of the injuries documented in 2006, which prompted the Egyptian authorities to the execution of large quantities of birds, often to the detriment of the poultry industry, which relies almost five million families.

وتُعد النساء والأطفال من بين الذين يربون الطيور في مصر، وبالتالي هم أكثر الناس عرضة للإصابة بالمرض، إذ أن أكثر من 90 في المائة من المصابين كانوا إناثاً بالغات أو أطفالاً، بينما شكلت النساء ثلاثة أرباع حالات الوفيات.

The women and children were among those who raise birds in Egypt, and thus are more susceptible to the disease, since more than 90 per cent of the injured were female adults or children, while women accounted for three quarters of all deaths.

وفي مارس/ آذار الماضي، أعلن المركز القومي للبحوث، الذي يُعد أكبر مؤسسة بحثية في مصر، نجاح فريق من علمائه في التوصل إلى لقاح للوقاية من المرض، ونقل الموقع الرسمي لاتحاد الإذاعة والتلفزيون، عن رئيس المركز، هاني الناظر، قوله إن اللقاح الجديد يجرى تصنيعه محلياً.

وكانت مصر قد بدأت منتصف فبراير/ شباط الماضي، بتطبيق أول برنامج من نوعه على أراضيها، يهدف لمراقبة حركة الطيور المهاجرة التي تمر بالبلاد، وذلك لاكتشاف ما إذا كانت قادرة على نقل مرض أنفلونزا الطيور.

And Egypt had started mid-February last, the application of the first program of its kind on its territory, aims to control the movement of migratory birds in the country, to find out if they are able to transfer the bird flu.

وسبق أن استخدم هذا البرنامج للهدف عينه في الصين ونيجيريا والهند، وهو يُنفذ في مصر بالتعاون مع مؤسسة المسح الجيولوجي الأمريكية، ومنظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة "فاو" ووحدة البحث الطبي الأمريكية.

القاهرة (رويترز) - قالت وزارة الصحة المصرية يوم الجمعة ان سيدة بأحد احياء القاهرة اصيبت بمرض انفلونزا الطيور لتكون خامس اصابة بالمرض في مصر هذا الشهر.

ونقلت وكالة انباء الشرق الاوسط الرسمية عن بيان للوزارة قوله ان هدية صلاح رجب (25 عاما) من حي المرج نقلت الى مستشفى الدمرداش بالقاهرة يوم 11 ابريل نيسان حيث كانت تعاني من ارتفاع شديد في درجة الحرارة وسعال.

واضافت الوكالة انها وضعت على جهاز التنفس الصناعي وان حالتها الصحية "غير مستقرة وحرجة".

وبهذه الاصابة يرتفع عدد الحالات التي تأكد اصابتها بفيروس اتش5 ان1 المسبب لمرض انفلونزا الطيور الى 65 حالة في مصر التي اصبحت أكثر الدول تضررا بهذا المرض خارج اسيا.

ومنذ عام 2003 اصاب فيروس "اتش5 ان1" 412 شخصا على الاقل في 15 دولة وتسبب في وفاة 254 منهم. كما ادى الى نفوق أو اعدام أكثر من 300 مليون طائر في 61 دولة في اسيا والشرق الاوسط وافريقيا واوروبا.

وتوفى نحو 23 مصريا بعد الاصابة بالفيروس معظمهم خالطوا طيورا منزلية مصابة في بلد تعتمد فيه خمسة ملايين اسرة على تربية الدواجن في المنازل كمصدر مهم للغذاء والدخل.

ونادرا ما يصيب فيروس اتش5 ان1 الانسان لكن الخبراء يخشون من انه قد يتحور الى شكل يمكن ان ينتقل بسهولة بين البشر ويصبح وباء قد يقتل ملايين الاشخاص.

وقالت منظمة الصحة العالمية هذا الشهر انها تشعر بالقلق من ان بعض المصريين ربما يحملون الفيروس المسبب للاصابة بانفلونزا الطيور دون ان تظهر عليهم الاعراض وهو ما قد يزيد من فرصة تحور الفيروس الى سلالة تنتشر بسهولة بين البشر.

CAIRO, April 17 (Reuters) - A 25-year-old Egyptian woman has contracted the highly pathogenic bird flu virus after coming into contact with infected birds, the latest case in a growing spate of infections in Egypt, state media said on Friday.

The new infection brings to 65 the number of bird flu cases in humans in the most populous Arab country, which has been hit harder by bird flu than any other country outside Asia.

The woman, from El-Marg on Cairo's outskirts, was in a critical condition on a ventilator after falling ill with a fever on April 11. She was being treated with the antiviral drug Tamiflu, state news agency MENA reported.

While H5N1 avian influenza virus rarely infects people, experts say they fear it could mutate into a form that people could easily pass to one another, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions.

Since 2003, H5N1 has infected at least 411 people in 15 countries and killed 254. It has killed or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds in 61 countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

Egypt has seen a surge in cases in recent months, with 14 people confirmed to have contracted this virus since the start of the year compared to seven in the same period last year. Most of the new cases have been young children, a change from 2008.

Some 23 Egyptians have died after contracting the bird flu virus. Most of those infected had come into contact with infected domestic birds in a country where roughly 5 million households depend on domestically raised poultry as a significant source of food and income.

The World Health Organisation said this month it was concerned some Egyptians may carry the bird flu virus without showing symptoms, which could give it more of a chance to mutate to a strain that spreads easily among humans. The issue will be the subject of an Egyptian government study backed by WHO. (Writing by Cynthia Johnston; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

Reuters Arabic piece in post #26 (http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...6&postcount=26) doesn't make reference to poultry contact and 25 years old woman now confirmed H5N1 infected, as Reuters English piece does.

Interesting. Usually when additional facts are obtained the news agencies start to update the original report with a notation. i.e. "Update 1"
