Re: EGYPT - 10? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah [& Ash Sharqiyah] governorate

Actually, there are four confirmed cases and all have died. The first case was hospitalized Sept 30 and died Oct 30, but she (39F) was from Samanoud, which is adjacent to the Nile River and about 12 miles north of Hanut Kafr wich is the location of the 3 family members.

Yeah, that's right. I was just thinking of the current cases.

Re: EGYPT - 11? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah & Ash Sharqiyah governorates

Doctor Al Sayed Al Hussein said the Ministry of Health deputy by the western [Al Gharbiyah]: we transferred three patients to the hospital of Tanta fevers and they [are]: (1) Nura Saleh Abdul Moneim 25 years - housewife from Sbtas village in Tanta district....

There's a Sibtas (سبطاس) just outside Tanta city -- could be the place where this woman is from...

Actually, there are four confirmed cases and all have died. The first case was hospitalized Sept 30 and died Oct 30, but she (39F) was from Samanoud, which is adjacent to the Nile River and about 12 miles north of Hanut Kafr wich is the location of the 3 family members. They are just north of Zitfa (pop 94K). Hanut Kafr is 15 miles east of Tanta (pop 408K and capital of Al Ghabiyah). There are 5 suspect cases in Tanta from 4 villages.

There are two suspect cases from Sanamoud, which is location of first case. Sanamud is just a few mles east of Mahalla el Kubra (pop 434K - largest city in Al Ghabiyah). It is just 15 miles north of Tanta and has four suspect patients from three villages (including the two suspect cases from Sanamoud).

There are also two patients in Zigazig (pop 287K) which is about 35 miles southeast of Tanta.

Thus, there are 4 confirmed (and fatal) cases and 11 suspect cases. 9 of the suspect cases are with a 15 mile radius from Tanta (or within 15 miles of the four confirmed cases). The other two are within a 35 mile radius of Tanta (or within a 20 mile radius of the three family members).

Dr. Niman,

Well, isn't this just creepy! Creepier than Indonesia's slow simmer. If these suspected cases are confirmed, could this be a case of B2H made easier by all the dangerous polymorphisms that you have been describing in your updates? It's hard to imagine that these particular individuals in various villages have been directly infecting each other despite the relative closeness of the villages. Is this a mild first wave where there are a number of geographically-dispersed cases all around Tantra that have escaped official confirmation? Can you suggest how this type of geographic dispersion could have occurred?

All of these cases are in the Nile Delta which is frequented by migratory birds. US NAMRU recently published H5 sequences from teal in the Nile Delta in December, 2005. One was Qinghai and the other has low path H5.

The birds migrating through Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have Qinghai H5N1 and they recombine with local birds that are infected. The recent sequence (from the October fatal case) had the "Qinghai Egyptian" markers, but had new acquisitions from other Qinghai isolates.

Ths "new" version had M230I, which is a clear concern. US NAMRU has at least 2 positives from the family of three and I would expect the sequences to be public in the next week or two. So far the "new" version has killed all confirmed cases and the cluster of 3 is the largest reported to date in Egypt, so transmission to humans appears to have become more efficient.

Re: EGYPT - 11? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah & Ash Sharqiyah governorates

So there we have it, at this point:
four confirmed patients (all dead) and 11 suspected patients (the ones that Theresa mentions below plus two she didn't mention--in Beni Suef--mentioned earlier:

• Hoda Abdel-Hamid of the village of Blvia Amal

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o></o>

• Mohammad Omar from the village of Riyadh Pasha

Note that Hoda Abdel-Hamid has the same surname as the confirmed family.

Total: 15 patients--4 confirmed, 11 suspected.

 

[Theresa42]

Re: EGYPT - 11? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah & Ash Sharqiyah governorates

Note that Hoda Abdel-Hamid has the same surname as the confirmed family.

Ah. Surnames in Egypt. Now there's a tricky one, 'cause Egyptians don't actually have surnames! Not usually, anyway.

Egyptian naming is interesting. You don't get a family surname -- you get a given name (eg. Theresa) -- and then you tack on the (first) name of your father and the (first) name of your grandfather (so, in Egypt I would be Theresa Thomas Thomas!):

... in Egypt ... there is no such thing as a surname. In Egypt you simply list your forename, followed by your father's forename and then your grandfather's forename. Some families then add a surname, but this is optional. Most people are known simply by their forename followed by their father's forename ....

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/744/li1.htm

So, the person in Beni Suef with the names "Abdel-Hamid" is unlikely to be related to the family in Al Gharbiyah.

Also, the family in Al Gharbiyah with the 3 deaths has been referred in the Western press as the Farid family as if that's their surname, but that's probably not correct.

Finally -- if I am not mistaken -- women in the Arab/Muslim world often changed their name when they have a son to "So-and-so's mother" -- for instance, if a woman was to have a son named Reza, she would become "Reza's mother" or something like that. This may not apply to Egypt, though.

Thanks for summing up, Sharpe!

Shop hamlet it says goodbye to the tenth victim to the bird flu
The reservation of 7 (6?) new cases by the fevers of Tanta and Mahala for the suspicion of their injury by the disease
Dec 29, 2006

Tanta - Hani Atef: Bid farewell - yesterday - a village "shop hamlet" with my wedding procession of Reda Farid Al Badawi - 30 years body and that took his breaths the last inside chest hospital Abbasid affected by its injury by the bird flu disease so that "a victory" catches its sister - 26 years - and its nephew [niece?/cousin] "Shfia". And that they preceded to their final resting place a few hours ago affected by the same disease. The funeral of the tenth victim took place on the republic level in its family cemeteries in the village.

Correction...

Correction...

We did have the fifth member of this family (below) on the suspected cases list -- (16) Ahmed Al Feqi, 51 years mother is house lord [housewife] (post #30), is probably Ahmed Al Feqi's mother "34 years" -- so she is also off the list.

...4 (I think) from the suspected cases list....

As far as I can tell, these 4 from our list have reportedly tested neg (although some of the ages are a bit messed up in this article...). Apparently they are all from the same family -- in fact, there were 5 members from this same family who have now all reportedly tested neg -- one of whom (Ahmed Al Feqi's mother "34 years") we didn't have on our list:

(12) Ehab Abdul Samie (35), Al Gharbiyah (Post #30)
(13) Enas Anwar (33), Al Gharbiyah (Post #30)
(14) Mohamed Ehab Abdul Samie (11), Al Gharbiyah (Post #30)
(15) Abdul Samie Ehab (16), from Santa City (Post #30)

Also, two other individuals who we didn't have on the list have reportedly tested neg: Ismail "61 years" and a girl claims Reham Abdullah "26 years".

They've all been discharged.
