          The Health Ministry has stressed that no cases of swine flu have been detected recently, as news reports emerge on several deaths from the disease over the past few days in a number of provinces.

          It is rather a seasonal H1N1 influenza that is currently common locally, regionally and internationally, and not the so-called swine flu, according to Amr Qandil, the ministry's head of Preventive Medicine. That virus, according to Qandil, is responsive to Tamiflu dosages.

          Concerning the H5N1 "bird flu", Qandil said all of the 1,037 suspected infections discovered since November 2015 all turned out to be negative.

          It was earlier reported on Saturday that a fourth person suspected of having swine flu (H1N1) died in North Sinai on Friday, according to a medical source. New suspected cases have emerged over the past week, though officials have denied the new cases.

          Comment: So this really seems to be a case of semantics. H1N1 pdm09 is still commonly known as "swine flu" in many parts of the world. Strictly speaking, it no longer should be as this muddies the waters since there are many different types of influenza viruses circulating in pigs with the potential to jump to humans. But the reality in this case seems to be that the H1N1 virus being reported by the government is the same as the swine flu being reported in the press. The Health Ministry is being unclear on this, perhaps intentionally. - Ro
