      A patient [from Cairo, Egypt] presented with fever, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, severe weight loss and pancytopenia. A bone marrow biopsy showed leishmania parasites. The analysis was performed at a university laboratory in Cairo. The patients has not travelled outside Cairo.

      Another concern is that there are new cases in the Cairo area with many affected patients,[which was learned from talking with colleagues there].

      [The present report clearly shows that there is a risk of visceral leishmanaisis in Cairo. This is new information and Cairo has previously been regarded as Leishmaniasis free. ProMED-mail will be happy to publish further information if available.

      The review of the world situation of Leishmanaisis (Alvar J et al. Leishmaniasis worldwide and global estimates of its incidence. PLoS One. 2012;7(5):e35671. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0035671. Supplement 28) write:

      Leishmania donovani DNA was already found in bone marrow samples taken from ancient Egyptian and Nubian mummies that originate from around 4000 BC. Since 1904, rare cases of VL have been reported in Egypt; some were imported, others were probably autochtonous. A focus of VL was discovered in El Agamy, 25 km west of Alexandria in 1982. The last case there was reported in 2005 and only one more case of VL was reported, in the Suez region in 2008. However, due to a lack of awareness among medical practitioners, VL is suspected to be underreported. Import of cases from Libya and Sudan may occur regularly and go unnoticed.

      CL has been an increasing problem in Egypt [1]. Known foci are among nomads in North Sinai with 471 reported cases in 2008 [2]. In an active case detection survey 200 new cases were identified, confirming underreporting to a large degree. The reported number of cases is estimated to be 4-5 times lower than the real number of cases. In 2010 (until July only), 133 cases were reported. People at risk are soldiers, laborers, and immunocompromised adults.

        ?Wafd? reveal the reality of the virus Shubra al-Ghamda Ahmed Imad

        Virus expert: The ministry deliberately obfuscation .. And ?Adino? known globally
        Hospitals were unable to treat the dead and asked their families to buy medicines


        No need to fear .. Egypt is safe .. We have strong early detection systems to monitor any epidemiological diseases, those words Minister of Health wanted to send a message of reassurance to citizens about the mysterious virus, which has claimed the lives of 3 citizens so far in Shubra Al-Kheima, but citizens rejected those statements and considered The mystery is the final answer to everything that is happening in Egypt. The detection of epidemic diseases or deadly viruses is still unknown and mysterious to the present time, prompting citizens to question the credibility of what is transmitted or broadcast by the Ministry of Health and make them ask many questions without clear answers. Does the Ministry of Health possess medical and scientific capabilities capable of detecting serious diseases and epidemics that affect the lives of many people? What is the secret of the Ministry's silence on the fact that this virus has caused many deaths? A state of panic and fear gripped the citizens after the spread of the dangerous virus called "Shubra mysterious virus", and despite some doctors' assertions that the virus ?Rota?, but we are still waiting for the report of the World Health Organization so far to measure the seriousness of this virus.
        On Jan. 30, the girl died of unspoken causes amid silence and explicit disregard from the Ministry of Health, which did not take any measures or measures to reduce the health of the spread of the disease, and the most serious that it did not declare explicitly to all but just the spectator and with the continued state of secrecy surprised a new case The Ministry of Health has been unable to detect the causes of the spread of the disease, despite the transition to the third case, the child Mazen, which was transferred to the diets of Imbaba, and here began the Ministry of Health feel the seriousness of its position in neglect follow-up microbe and began to provide a quarantine room and take measures represented in the work Make a group of Traditional analyzes and addressed several actors for intervention.
        The ministry called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to try to rectify the situation as stories spread about the unknown virus spreading to Imbaba and all these months, and the Ministry of Health failed to protect the health of its citizens.
        The Egyptian Center for the right to medicine documented a number of practices and violations that have contributed significantly to the increase of deaths, the most acute shortage of supplies and medicines in various hospitals, which went to a number of victims over two months, at Nasser General Hospital in Shubra al-Khaimah doctors called the children of the child " "Quickly transferred because of the lack of oxygen cylinders and other supplies The most significant was the doctors at the Hospital Imbaba Fever patients call patients at different times of the day and demanding the rapid provision of multiple drugs and they are not responsible to provide medicines for their children, The center also documented a certificate from the father of the child, King Reza, claiming that there was a great doctor who notified the doctors that the method of treatment was wrong, which led him to not take another child, "Mazen" to hospitals when he showed signs because of The Center called on the Egyptian Parliament to call on the Minister of Health to know what is being done and to know the reasons that led to the Ministry's failure to announce the matter and leave the people vulnerable to hearing rumors and rumors and increase the panic and panic about the existence of similar cases.
        Dr. Ahmed Mohamed, a consultant doctor at Abasiya fever hospital confirmed that the symptoms of the virus that led to the death of 3 children is very similar to the symptoms of rotavirus, and that the reason for the death of children is due to the weakness of immunity, which one doctor denied Embaba diets, stressing that the mysterious virus can not be ? Rota "because it affects only children, especially infants, and does not affect the elderly.
        Rota is a virus that causes gastroenteritis, the most common cause of severe diarrhea and vomiting in infants and children under 5 years of age. The virus spreads in children between 4 months and 3 years, especially in children who go to preschools. The risk of infection is greater in the winter And spring.

        Dr. Mohamed Azaleb, professor of hepatitis viruses and medical consultant of the Center for the right of medicine, revealed the mysterious nature of the virus and its scientific name ?Adeno virus?, a disease known globally, not unknown or ambiguous as announced by the Ministry of Health, and its symptoms are inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes both the stomach and the small intestine, To a range of symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and cramping and these symptoms similar to the virus ?Rota?.

        The hospital confirmed that the beginning of the disease was on 30 January last and treated the ministry with the disease badly. The patients' families confirmed that Nasser Hospital was contacting them to provide medicines and oxygen cylinders for lack of availability in the hospital until two other children were injured. .
        The professor of viruses pointed to the lack of the term "ambiguity" in medicine, as stated by the official spokesman of the Ministry of Health, and all that happened was the delay of the ministry in the withdrawal of samples from patients early to detect the nature of the microbe, including samples of blood and saliva even if samples of spinal fluid.
        He explained that the ministry used the World Health Organization and ignored the "Nimro" unit next to the Abbasid fevers hospital, which has the examination of infectious pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses.

              Parliament





              A number of deputies of the Health Committee in the House of Representatives criticized the state of blackout imposed by the Ministry of Health on what was described as "mysterious virus" in the Shubra Al-Kheima area,

              and revealed by the media in mid-March, despite the occurrence in February.
              This came during a meeting of the Health Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, today, to discuss the requests for a briefing by MPs Thuria Sheikh and Nidal Al-Saeed on a mysterious virus in the Shubra Al-Kheima, which resulted in the death of three cases of two families and wounding 11 others.
              MP Mohammed al-Amari, head of the committee, said that the Ministry of Health had to initiate the declaration of data in this regard so as to provide reassurance instead of the panic that hit the citizens.
              He added that this is not an epidemic, but a focus is unknown, and there is a term in medicine called heat is not known source, and this scientific miracle is not everything we will know.
              For his part, MP Majdi Morshed, head of the committee, praised the performance of the preventive medicine sector, but he attacked the lack of communication with the media in this regard to clarify the truth, as we are approaching the stage of "the most dangerous possible."

              "The blackout is not in the favor of the government or the deputies .. And Benichel problem in the end and Mfish not only 3 ministers but most ministers lack the popular and political sense."

              The committee's deputy, Ayman Abu Ala, said that the ministry should have notified the health committee, which in turn would have communicated with the citizens and the media.
              Ahmed Tahawi, member of the Committee, said that despite the efforts of the Ministry of Health so far, it did not reach the mystery of the virus and reveal its ambiguity.
