      H5N1 Cairo Cases Cause Concern
      Recombinomics Commentary 08:45
      April 18, 2009

      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 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.

      The above comments describe the latest confirmed H5N1 case in Egypt. Earlier cases had been predominantly (10/11) toddlers (age 1 ? to 2 ?) with mild H5N1 (only one of the 10 had been characterized as ?critical?) and all have recovered, as did the first adult (38F).

      Recently however, the cases have been critical (6M, 33F, 25F) and these cases have had a larger gap between disease onset day and the start of oseltamivir treatment. The delay in the first such case (6F) was due in part to a denial if contact with dead or dying poultry. In Egypt, patients with bird flu symptoms and stated contact with dead or dying poultry leads to the immediate start of osletamivir treatment, which is generally prior to test result.

      The above comments that the patient had contact with infected birds suggest that the birds have been H5N1 confirmed, but there has been no confirmed birds reported in the area of the most recent case (see updated map). The closest H5N1 confirmation was the 6M case, raising concerns of a more efficiently transmitted H5N1.

      There is concern that the mild toddler cases is linked to a 3 BP deletion that was in the H5N1 in a Qena cluster in 2007, when there was another series of mild cases (16/17 survived, and 16/17 were children between ages of 3-10). However, some of the older cases infected with H5N1 with the deletion died or survived after being in critical condition.

      Therefore, the release of sequences from the 2009 sequences would be useful. The first two sequences were included in a WHO phylogenetic tree, which suggested that those two mild toddler cases had the deletion.

      Identification of the ?infected birds? in northeastern Cairo would also be useful.

              The 6M was also delayed and also treated at the same hospital. I suspect the delay was linked to a denial of poultry contact.
              This is a teaching hospital in Cairo and must be aware of the policy in Egypt to treat suspect cases immediately.

                    Department of Health announced the province of Kafr el-Sheikh the emergence of the 66 infected with avian influenza at the level of the Republic and the second case the county.


                    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.

                        Note that 33F developed symptoms April 7, raising concerns that the toddler is her child and she infected the toddler. No mention of toddler in WHO update, but WHP update on Beheiura cluster failed to state that they were cousins and next door neighbors

                        WHO report on 33F:

                        17 April 2009 -- </SPAN>The Ministry of Health of Egypt has reported a new confirmed human case of avian influenza . The case is a 33 year old female from Kellin district, Kfr El Sheikh Governorate. Her symptoms began on 7 April and she was hospitalized at Kfr El Sheikh Fever Hospital on 15 April where she was started on oseltamivir the same day (15 April). She is in a critical condition.
                        Infection with H5N1 avian influenza was confirmed by the Egyptian Central Public Health Laboratory on 15 April.
                        Investigations into the source of her infection indicate a history of close contact with dead and sick poultry prior to becoming ill.
                        Of the 64 cases confirmed to date in Egypt, 23 have been fatal.

                                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 .
