      وأوضحت المديرية أن الطفلة منار إبراهيم زيدان سعد (18 شهرًا) من قرية شباس عمير مركز قلين تأكد إصابتها بالمرض، وأنها تتلقى العلاج بمستشفى منشية البكري بالقاهرة بدءًا من عصر اليوم.
      The Directorate girl Manar Saad Ibrahim Zidan (18 months) from the village of Chaabas Amir Kulain confirmed the status of her disease, and that they receive hospital treatment, the capital Cairo, starting from this afternoon.

      ومنذ عام 2003م أصاب فيروس (H5N1) 412 شخصًا على الأقل في 15 دولة، وتسبب في وفاة 254 منهم، كما أدَّى إلى نفوق أو إعدام أكثر من 300 مليون طائر في 61 دولة في آسيا والشرق الأوسط وإفريقيا وأوروبا.
      Since the 2003 virus (H5N1) 412 people, at least in 15 countries, and caused the deaths of 254 of them, also led to the deaths or culling of more than 300 million birds in 61 countries in Asia and the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

      وتُوفي نحو 23 مصريًّا بعد الإصابة بالفيروس، معظمهم خالطوا طيورًا منزلية مصابة في بلدٍ تعتمد فيه خمسة ملايين أسرة على تربية الدواجن في المنازل كمصدرٍ مهم للغذاء والدخل.
      He died about 23 Egyptians after infection with HIV, most of whom had contact with infected domestic birds in a country adopts the five million families to raise poultry at home as an important source of food and income.

      ونادرًا ما ينتقل فيروس (H5N1) بين إنسانٍ وآخر؛ لكن الخبراء يخشون من أنه قد يتحور إلى شكلٍ يمكن أن ينتقل بسهولةٍ بين البشر، ويصبح وباءً قد يقتل ملايين الأشخاص.
      Rarely transmitted the virus (H5N1) between the man and another; but experts fear it could mutate into a form that passes easily between humans, a pandemic that could kill millions of people.

      وقالت منظمة الصحة العالمية هذا الشهر إنها تشعر بالقلق من أن بعضَ المصريين ربما يحملون الفيروس المسبب للإصابة بأنفلونزا الطيور دون أن تظهر عليهم الأعراض، وهو ما قد يزيد من فرصة تحور الفيروس إلى سلالةٍ تنتشر.
      The World Health Organization said this month that she was concerned that some of the Egyptians may have the virus that causes bird flu without showing symptoms, which may increase the chance the virus will mutate into a strain spread. http://translate.google.com/translat...3Den%26tl%3Dar

        Another H5N1 Human Infection case in less than 72 hours


        This is not good.
        The ministry of health has announced today that year and half Manar Ibrahim Zidan is No.66 in the H5N1 human infection roll in Egypt. This is so fast , it is less than 48 hours from the announcement of Case No.65 !!
        Baby Manar is from a village in Kafr El-Sheikh ,Delta, there were several case from Kafr El-Sheikh this year, I recall case No.64 Mrs. Sadia is from Kafr El-Sheikh too . I hope someone will make a map like the one posted last year with the infections locations and compared it with last year?s map. I think Al-Fayoum,Bahaira and Kafr El-Sheikh are the top governorates with the highest H5N1 infection rate.
        It seems that we are going to back to babies with H5N1 after all. Anyhow Manar has entered the hospital on the 15th of April and she was given Tamflu and thank God her condition is stable .

            The new infection brings to 66 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.
            Egypt has seen a surge in human cases in recent months, with 15 confirmed since the start of the year, compared to seven cases between Jan. 1 and April 17 last year.
            The girl, from the north Egyptian province of Kafr el-Sheikh, was being treated with the antiviral drug Tamiflu, state news agency MENA reported, citing the health ministry.
            While the 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 412 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.
            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 and this could give the virus more of a chance to mutate to a strain that spreads easily among humans.

              H5N1 Confirmed Kellin Cluster Causes Concern in Egypt
              Recombinomics Commentary 21:01

              The Directorate girl Manar Saad Ibrahim Zidan (18 months) from the village of Chaabas Amir Kulain confirmed the status of her disease

              The above translation describes the latest confirmed H5N1 case (#66) in Egypt, who like case #64 is in the Kellin district of Kafr El Sheik (see updated map) raising concerns that this case is related to the earlier case (33F), who developed symptoms on April 7, and possibly is her child (see zoomed Kellin map).

              More information on the distance between the residences of these two confirmed H5N1 cases in the Kellin District, as well as any relationship, would be useful.

                            But don't most of the names refer to parents and grandparents, so there is a given name(s) followed by a sequence of names representing parents and grandparents, and listed in a particular order (which can be a series of first names, so the toddler would have a given name followed by family names). I just wasn't sure if these could be male or female, etc. i.e. Zidane Manar Ibrahim Saad would be Zidane Manar daughter of Ibrahim and Saad. The Saad would refer to the first name of the mother, Saadia Mohamed Abdel Latif (and family names would only be in masculine form, so Saadia would be converted to Saad in the family name part of the toddler's name, which is why the mother's name includes Mohamed).

                              Yes. The question is whether Saadia is the real name or is a "nickname" or feminine version of Saad. This is why I am not sure.
