Most likely the same case?
Influenza at the Human-Animal Interface, monthly risk assessment summary, 2 October 2014
Human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses
From 2003 through 2 October 2014, 668 laboratory-confirmed human cases of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection have been officially reported to WHO from 16 countries. Of these cases, 393 have died.
Since the last WHO Influenza update on 27 June 2014, one new laboratory-confirmed human case of influenza A(H5N1) virus infection was reported to WHO. The case was reported from Egypt in a 2 ? - year-old girl from Giza governorate. Identification of such sporadic cases is not unexpected as influenza A(H5N1) viruses are known to be circulating in poultry in the country.
Overall public health risk assessment for avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses: Whenever influenza viruses are circulating in poultry, sporadic infections or small clusters of human cases are possible, especially in people exposed to infected poultry or contaminated environments. Human infections remain rare and these influenza A(H5N1) viruses do not currently appear to transmit easily among people. As such, the risk of community-level spread of these viruses remains low.
