I am evaluating how these cases fit onto our case list. The 2 year old from Suez is probably in the list announced by FAO yesterday and posted here today. I am checking the others......

This is a new case in Behiera govenorate - not in the FAO report:

"child of two years old, of Lake County, and is still under Fever Hospital Damanhur therapy"

-------------------------------------

This could be a case out of the 2 missing from the FAO report in Sharkia governorate, i.e previously known and accounted for. I will not add this case to our list at this time. Hopefully WHO will clarify this situation soon:

"second case of a man aged 39 years, from the eastern province, and is still under hospital treatment Belbais Central"

-------------------------------------

This is a new case:

"third case was a man who is 42 years old, from the governorate of Cairo, and is still under Fever Hospital Helwan treatment"

-------------------------------------

This is most likely a case listed in the FAO reported:

"Ministry of Health, in a statement, go out and cure two two-year-old girl two years of Suez"

-------------------------------------

This is a previously known case:

"second case of the lady 42 years old from the province of Assiut"

40) Egypt - Female, 42, hospitalized, Assiut

--------------------------------------

This is a new case not previously mentioned anywhere:

"death of the case after being infected with bird flu to the old man, 35, from Cairo Governorate"




FluTrackers is doing our best to keep track of the H5N1 cases by gathering together Ministry of Health, WHO, FAO, and reliable media reports. Our H5N1 list is the result of our best efforts but may not be entirely accurate. It is an approximation of the reported situation.


A WHO clarification would be greatly appreciated!
