(Read more bird flu reports http://www.irinnews.org/Theme.aspx?theme=BRF)
Health Ministry spokesman Abdel-Rahman Shahin told IRIN in Cairo the death was the first since April 2008.
"This indicates the high level of awareness the Health Ministry and media were able to raise among Egyptians handling poultry," Shahin said, adding: "Virus activity fluctuates every season and tends to be more active in the winter."
A government committee set up to combat bird flu echoed Shahin's comments on the success of the public awareness campaign, saying infection rates among domestic poultry had dropped sharply since the second week of January 2008 thanks to increased vaccination efforts.
Samiyah Salem, 16, from al-Zaraaby village in the southern Egyptian governorate of Asyut died after being admitted to Asyut University Hospital on 13 December with a high fever and breathing problems, hospital officials told IRIN. She contracted the disease after exposure to infected household poultry.
To date 51 people have been infected since the first poultry death attributed to the H5N1 virus in February 2006.
"Early diagnosis is the most important factor and determines whether the person will live or die," Nasr Qilini, a doctor, told IRIN. "Tamiflu vaccination is available at all hospitals and medical units across Egypt."
Medical experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) fear the H5N1 virus could mutate or combine with the highly contagious seasonal influenza virus, resulting in human-to-human transmission and a pandemic that could kill millions of people.
Of all the Middle East countries Egypt has been the hardest hit by avian flu, suffering its first human death from the disease in March 2006.

AVIAN INFLUENZA ? HUMAN HEALTH ? CAMBODIA & EGYPT<cite cite="http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/health_content/episu/081218_av_hh.aspx">ECDC Health Content</cite>
Cambodia
The Ministry of Health of Cambodia has announced a new confirmed case of human infection with the avian influenza virus A(H5N1). The case is a 19-year old male from the Kandal Province who developed symptoms on the 28th November and two days later was hospitalised. The presence of the virus was confirmed by the Institute Pasteur in Cambodia (the appointed National Influenza Centre for the country). The patient is still in hospital and the source of infection has not been identified yet but prophylaxis measures have already been provided to the close contacts of the case. Seven out of 8 cases of human avian influenza reported in Cambodia have been fatal, WHO reports.
Egypt
Another case of avian influenza virus A(H5N1) has been confirmed by the Ministry of Health and Population of Egypt. This time the case was a teenage girl from the Assuit Governorate in Upper Egypt. Three days after the initial symptoms she was hospitalised and died four days later. The identification of the virus was carried out by means of PCR at the Egyptian Public Health Laboratory and confirmed later by the US Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3) laboratories. Investigations into the source of the infection point to a recent history of contact with sick and dead poultry. Twenty three out of 51 cases reported in Egypt have been fatal, WHO reports.
ECDC Comment: (18/12/2008)
These cases are not exceptional. Both Cambodia and Egypt are countries where influenza A(H5N1) is considered established and endemic in birds. Certainly its proving difficult to eliminate. This is also a time of year when cases seem to be more frequent in recent years.Comment

It appears that this veterinarian may have been involved in a culling of ducks. The translation is not 100% clear.
In addition, Egypt has extensive education campaigns about bird flu. Veterinarians have been trained regarding the proper precautions to employ when dealing with sick poultry.
