These three cases (5F, 4F, 4M) were from the Nile Delta and had relatively mild cases. Prior to these three cases, the seven cases from this season were fatal. H5N1 had been isolated from six of the cases, and four had M230I. In contrast, the three recent milder cases did not have M230I.

The other difference between the 7 fatal cases and these 3 milder cases is, obviously, their ages -- all the 7 others who died were adults. Could this be an indicator of ... anything?

There are many variables, including time between symptoms and treatment, but the sequences really are starting to segregate out.

More will be presented in two weeks in California

Cool!

Can we get Dr. Boynton to post some of his finding here (please -- Dr. Boynton?):

Bruce Boynton, M.D. Naval Medical Research Unit #3
Avian Influenza in Egypt: A View from the Trenches

Dr. Boynton will provide an "on the ground" look at the introduction and movement of H5N1 in Egypt. He will shed light on the more personal aspects of how this epidemic has impacted medical practice, economics, society & politics.
 
Re: EGYPT - March 14, 2007+ - News on sus cases

I just asked Dr. Niman if he could ask Dr. Boynton where they get their news from. The authorities? Hospitals?
 
There are our boots on the ground....Dr. Boynton.

There are our boots on the ground....Dr. Boynton.

I hope we will get a good summary of both Dr. Niman's and Dr. Boynton's remarks. After listening to the BBC report, I can only imagine the apprehension that exists in Egypt right now.

Bio of Dr. Boynton:
