That's certainly an unusual article, and an excellent find. So two of the four are postive for H1N1. I have no idea why one of the cases is suspected to be H5N1. My only guess is that perhaps it is a more severe case. Many of the Egyptian press articles have that attitude that if it is mild, it is likely H1N1, and if it is severe, it is H5N1.

That is wrong on both counts, and an EXTREMELY dangerous assumption.
