The FAO Empress-i site appears to be down. I am trying to verify that the Fayoum cases are separate cases and not a duplicate the same one case. I will update here when the site is back up.

The Fayoum cases appear to be 2 separate cases as Biological entered above. There are 2 different observation dates and event numbers. Thanks Biological.
