ارتفع عدد الحالات المصابة بمرض إنفلونزا الطيور بمحافظة كفر الشيخ إلى 64 حالةً بعد إصابة سعيدة محمد عبد اللطيف حامد (33 سنة- ربة منزل) بقلين بمرض إنفلونزا الطيور بعد التأكد من إصابتها بمرض (hsng) عن طريق التحاليل بمعامل وزارة الصحة.​

The number of cases of bird flu-hit province of Kafr el-Sheikh to the situation after 64 injured happy Hamid Mohamed Abdel-Latif (33 years - housewife) Bkulain with avian flu after confirmation of her disease (hsng) through factor analysis and the Ministry of Health.

ويقول زوجها أحمد عبد السلام براغيث 42 سنة "ترجع إصابة زوجتي لشرائنا 20 فرخًا صغيرًا منذ 15 يومًا من أحد الباعة الجائلين وبعد 10 أيامٍ من شراء الكتاكيت بدأت تموت تباعًا حتى مات 15 فرخًا فقمت بتعبئتها في شكارة ووضعتها في جرار قمامة مجلس المدينة".​

Says her husband, Ahmed Abdel-Salam fleas 42 years "due to injury, my wife our purchasing 20 chicken small since the 15 days of one street vendors, after 10 days of the purchase of chickens began dying in turn 15 until he died in the chicken and I _karp packed in jars and put the city's garbage."

وأضاف أنه بعد يومين انتابت زوجته كحة شديدة وارتفاع في درجة الحرارة فذهب لأحد الأطباء، وقال له إنه اشتبه بإصابتها بمرض إنفلونزا الطيور فنفي لي إصابتها وشخَّص الحالة على أنها نزلة شعبية حادة.​

He cursed his wife two days after severe cough and high temperature went to a doctor, and said he had suspected bird flu disease, bird flu, and he denied me one of her situation as a severe bout of popularity.

وأكمل أنه بعد 3 أيام ذهب إلى الطبيب مرةً أخرى، وأخبره أن حالة زوجته في تحسن، ولكنه شعر أن الكحة تعود وبدرجة أكبر؛ الأمر الذي دفعه للذهاب لطبيب آخر أمر بعمل أشعة على الصدر، وشخَّص الحالة بأنها مياه على الرئة وقام بإرسالي إلى طبيب ثالث لشفط هذه المياه.​

And completed it after 3 days went to the doctor again, and his wife told him that the situation is improving, but it is felt that cough and more; be paid to go to a doctor is the work of another scan on his chest and one on the water situation as the lung and Birsali to a third suction these waters.

واستطرد: "ذهبت إلى تحليل المياه التي تم شفطها فوجدتها إيجابية والحالة سليمة، ولكن يوجد تليف في الرئة، ويجب استئصال فصين من الرئة اليمني فرجعت للطبيب الذي بدوره أرسلني إلى طبيب رابع في الإسكندرية، والذي قرر بأن الحالة لا تستدعي استئصالاً، وكتب لي بعض الأدوية، وبعد عودتي من الإسكندرية مباشرةً تدهورت صحة زوجتي وتغيَّر وجهها، وأطرافها إلى اللون الأزرق، فأسرعت إلى مستشفى قلين المركزي عن طريق الإسعاف، وقام الطبيب بوضعها على جهاز التنفس، ووضعها في العناية المركزة التي حولتني إلى مستشفى الحميات وقاموا بسحب العينة وإرسالها إلى القاهرة، والتي أثبتت أن الحالة مصابة بإنفلونزا الطيور".​

Clustering H5N1 Clusters Raise Pandemic Concerns in Egypt

Recombinomics Commentary 07:40
April 20, 2009

The Directorate girl Manar Saad Ibrahim Zidan (18 months) from the village of Chaabas Amir Kulain confirmed the status of her disease

The above translation describes the 66th confirmed H5N1 case in Egypt, which is the third confirmed case in three days. However, more alarming than the frequency is the fact that all three cases are members of clusters and the six most recent confirmed cases form three distinct clusters.

The 66th case is a toddler from the Kellin district of Kafir el Sheik as is case #64 (33F). The village of Shabas Emier is only a few miles from the town of Kellin (see updated map), suggesting the two members of the Kellin cluster are from a small geographic area. The precise location of case #64 was not released, but it is possible that both cases are from Shabass Ameir and/or are related or have contact. Since the disease onset dates are 8 days apart, contact between the two cases would strong support transmission of H5N1 from case #64 to case #66.

Similarly, case #65 forms a Cairo cluster with case #63. Both were admitted to the Ain Shams hospital in Cairo and treatment was delayed for both suggesting they denied a poultry connection. These two cases also appear to be a few miles apart at the northern edge of Cairo (see updated map).

The third is the Beheira cluster created by two cousins in . The cousins were next door neighbors and developed symptoms four days apart, strong supporting the infection of one cousin by the other.

These three clusters involving the six most recent confirmed cases create a significant cause for concern. A recent report described a relationship between a subset of H5N1 isolates in Egypt and season flu, H1N1, which is efficiently transmitted to humans. This relationship was tightly linked to a 3 BP deletion, which creates S129del, which involves a position that interacts with the receptor binding domain. Moreover, this deletion was in siblings in the Qena cluster in 2007 and the sibling sequences were identical.

Recently a phyologenetic analysis of the first two cases in 2009 in Egypt were released and the position of these isolates suggests they also have S129del. If these and other 2009 isolates have this deletion, including the six cases that form clusters in 2009, there would be a genetic explanation of the more efficient transmission represented by the clustering.

The release of the 2009 sequences from Egypt is long overdue. NAMRU-3 has not relased any human or poultry from the 2008/2009 season.

In addition, the relationship between the two Kellin cluster members including the distance between residences would be useful.

The clustering of clusters demands more transparency and a much more aggressive testing of toddlers without poultry contact as well as antibody levels in the suspect cases that are PCR negative.

H5N1 Cairo Cluster Delays Raise Transmission Concerns

Recombinomics Commentary 22:31
April 19, 2009

Woman, age 25, 33 weeks pregnant, began experiencing symptoms of fever and cough on April 6. She was admitted to Ain Shams Hospital on April 11 and received Tamiflu April 16. Infection with avian influenza was confirmed April 17.

The above comments detail the gap between admission and the start of oseltamivir treatment for the 65th confirmed case (25F) in Egypt. This five day gap is unusual, because patients with bird flu symptoms and contact with poultry are immediately treated with Tamiflu, and a throat swab is collected for PCR analysis for H5N1.

The delay in treatment for this patient suggests she denied a poultry contact. The possibility is support by the delayed treatment of case #63 (6M), whose treatment was also delayed at the same hospital. Since she was confirmed and was in critical condition, the significance of the treatment should have been well known to the staff at Ain Shams Hospital, because case #63 was also treated there. These two cases appear to be a few miles apart (see updated map), raising concerns that this geographic cluster is signaling more efficient transmission of H5N1.

These concerns were increased by the confirmation of case #66 (2F) in Kafr El Sheik. This case followed a recent case (#64) in Kafr El Sheik in the same district (Kellin). Moreover the 8 day gap in disease onset dates raises concerns that these two cases are related, and case #64 infected case #66.

Such transmission was recent seen in Beheira where two cases from the same districts were subsequently described as next door neighbors and cousins (both 2M). Moreover the 4 day gap in disease onset dates strongly suggests that one cousin infected the other.

The presence of three distinct clusters in Egypt this month, as well as three confirmed cases in three days has raised concerns that H5N1 infections were much higher than the reported 66 cases. The latest case is the 11th toddler between the ages of 1 ½ or 2 ½ in Egypt this year, representing a significant increase in frequency and number of H5N1 confirmed toddlers. This concentration of so many cases in such as small age group (in contrast to 6 toddler cases in the three preceding years), raises concerns that many in older age groups has protective immunity due to a significant prior exposure to H5N1.

These results indicate that toddlers with bird flu symptoms, but no contact with poultry, should be tested for H5N1. Moreover, the 99% of suspect cases with poultry contact who test negative by PCR should be tested for H5N1 antibodies.

Recent results have suggested that the 3 BP deletion (S129del) in a subset of cases produces similarities with H1N1, and phylogenetic analysis of the first two toddler cases in 2009 had this deletion, raising concerns that this change, which interacts with the receptor binding domain, has produce H5N1 which is more efficiently transmitted.

Case #64 amd #66 were admitted to the fever hospital in Kafr el Sheikh. #64 (33F) was delayed because she first went to local clinics and is now too sick to be moved from Kafr el Sheikh. The toddler (1.5 F) was initially also in Kafr el Sheik, but has since been transferred to Cairo.

Kafr El-Sheikh toddler gets bird flu in third Egypt case in a week
By AFP
First Published: April 20, 2009
CAIRO: A toddler from Kafr El-Sheikh has contracted bird flu in the country's third reported case in a week, state media reported on Monday.
The 18-month-old girl was in stable condition after being treated with the antiviral drug Tamiflu, the Al-Ahram daily quoted a health ministry official as saying.
It was the 66th recorded case since the outbreak of the disease in Egypt in 2006.
Last week the health ministry said that two women were in critical condition after being infected with the virus.
On Saturday, a 25-year-old woman from the Qalubia province was in hospital in critical condition, the health ministry said. On Wednesday the ministry said a 33-year-old woman from Kafr El-Sheikh had the disease and was critically ill and on an artificial respirator.
Egypt has seen an increase in bird flu cases over the past two months. The World Health Organization (WHO) called in March for an investigation into why many of the victims have been young children.
Twenty-three people have died of bird flu in Egypt, mostly young girls or women who are generally in charge of looking after poultry in rural areas.
Egypt hosted an international conference on bird flu last October, when Washington pledged an additional $320 million to the fight against the disease amid fears that it may yet escalate into a global pandemic.
The H5N1 strain of the virus that is most dangerous to humans first emerged in Asia in 2003 and has since caused nearly 250 deaths, according to WHO figures.
Scientists fear that a mutation of the bird flu virus resulting in a strain easily transmitted among humans could create a pandemic, potentially affecting up to one fifth of the world's population. ?AFP

Egypt reports 66th bird flu case

Less than one week after reporting the 65th human infection of the deadly H5N1 avian flu virus, the Egyptian health ministry has reported that a baby girl has contracted the virus.
The case of the one-and-a-half-year-old baby brings the total number of human in fections in the country to 66.
Egypt is the hardest-hit nation for bird flu outside East Asia.
The fact that the country lies along the migratory routes of birds from Europe, Asia and Africa, and the lack of awareness among the poorer segments of society who rely on poultry for subsistence, have worsen the impact of the disease.
The most recent case comes from the Kafr El Sheikh governorate north of Cairo and the little girl, identified as Ibrahim Al Manar, is currently in a critical condition, despite receiving the anti-virul drug Tami flu, the ministry told PANA on Monday.
Since the virus was first reported in humans in March 2006, it has claimed 23 lives in Egypt.
According to the latest statistics of the World Health Organization, some 418 people in 15 countries and regions have contracted the virus and 257 of them have died of the disease.
