Egypt makes me crazy

The «Taha»: the process of the disease mutation is expected at any time, especially given that the State has not taken any position on the elimination of the pig farms, which is one of the most important factor in the spread of the disease in the world despite the fact that their locations are known.

The state has been moving pig farms out of populated areas for some time.

The above statement may help readers understand the reason why the two cases in Beheira represent toddler to toddler transmission of H5N1.

The samples tested from patients in Egypt are from patients with symptoms and claimed exposure to dead or dying poultry. As seen by the above statement, the testing of these patients is almost always negative.

However, samples from one toddler from Behiera who developed symptoms March 27 was positive. That was followed by another toddler from Beihera who developed symptoms four days later on March 1. Not only were both of the cases from Bethera, but they were from the same small district in Beheira and in fact were from next door neighbors. In addition, the next door neighbors were cousins.

Thus, there is little doubt that the two cases were connected, either through a common source (dead or dying poultry that was claimed, but no H5N1 in poultry anywhere near the cluster has been reported, even though there was aggressive canvassing of the area), or through toddler to toddler transmission.

If there was H5N1 in poultry, the distinction between a common source (both toddlers playing with poultry) or T2T (the toddler with symptoms on March 27 infecting his cousin who lives next door and developed symptoms April 1) is determined by disease onset dates (since the sequences are likely to be the same regardless of source for the second toddler).

These two possibilities are viewed with regard to the time gap between disease onset dates.

A common source produces a very small time gap, because the range in incubation times is small (2-4 days) and therefore common source infections produce symptom on the same day, or within a day or two.

T2T produces a time gap because the index case is more contagious after symptoms develop, so the incubation time produces a time gap between symptoms in the index case and symptoms in the cousin he infected, as demonstrated by the 4 day gap.

This gap in disease onset dates is common among H5N1 clusters. When the transmission is H2H2H, the consecutive gaps limit the amount of hand waving and ad hoc arguments. The sequences from patients from H2H2H clusters do not have distinctive genetic changes not found is H2H clusters, and ad hoc arguments trying to explain away gaps were unlikely when used in 2004 and the dozens of clusters since. The characteristic time gap is found again and again, and the hand waving/ad hoc arguments are nothing more than hopes and dreams with no scientific basis.

Egypt emphasizes the transparency of its dealings with the issue of bird flu

CAIRO: The Ministry of Health in Egypt is that it deals with the issue of bird flu, with full transparency, denying press reports to cover up the 27 cases of the disease.

The researchers pointed out that the first confirmed case of bird flu among humans in Egypt in March 17, 2006 and the government to deal with this important health issue with full transparency and clarity not cover the case of one confirmed case.

The researchers explained that the ministry had announced the position of suspected cases of the disease periodically and the result of awareness campaigns among citizens that the frequency of the Ministry of Health hospitals and the situation of 6443, which are dealt with as cases of suspicion to be sure that there is infection.

He appealed to the Egyptian Health Minister Hatem el-Gabali all media to ensure that information disseminated so as not to result in a state of panic among citizens.

For his part, Dr. Abdel Rahman Shahin, official spokesman of the Ministry of Health, Egypt is dealt with utmost transparency internationally All information related to the emergence of infectious disease among birds and humans have been transferred to the public and frankly, the World Health Organization, international organizations and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

The Egyptian Ministry of Health announced last Sunday, the discovery of 63 infected humans from bird flu, of a child at the age of six years from the province north of Cairo, Qaliubiya, according to the Ministry of Health, 23 patients have died since the beginning of the injuries documented in 2006, which prompted the Egyptian authorities in the culling of large quantities of birds.

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.
