Detection bias and poor diagnostic sensitivity are both serious concerns now that reports of afebrile Novel A/H1N1 infections are suggested in Mexico and H5N1 infections are increasingly reported among those without poultry contact.

Egypt announces No. 70 infection of bird flu, a child of the East

القاهرة - محرر مصراوى - تأكدت مساء الأربعاء الإصابة رقم 70 بمرض أنفلونزا الطيور لطفل عمره 4 سنوات من كفر صقر محافظة الشرقية وحالته جيده ومستقرة.​

CAIRO - Editor Masrawy - confirmed on Wednesday No. 70 of infection with avian influenza for children aged 4 years from the eastern province of Kafr Saqr and his condition was good and stable.​

صرح بذلك الدكتور عمرو قنديل وكيل وزارة الصحة للشئون الوقاية ، وقال إن الطفل دخل مستشفى حميات الزقازيق، وهو مصاب بارتفاع في درجة الحرارة ، وظهرت عليه إعراض الاتفلونزا، فتقرر تحويله إلى مستشفى منشية البكري، والتي أثبتت التحليلات إصابته بالمرض نتيجة مخالطته طيور منزلية مصابة، ويتم علاجه بعقار التاميفلو.​

This was stated by Dr. Amr Kandil and Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health Affairs, prevention, said the boy admitted to the Hospital of Zagazig, with a high temperature, showing symptoms of Alatvlonza, decided to convert it to a hospital in the Tamiflu drug, which analysis has shown a result of the disease usually infected domestic birds, and treated with Tamiflu.​

وبرغم ان سلالة "اتش 5 ان 1" من فيروس انفلونزا الطيور نادرا ما تصيب البشر يعرب خبراء عن خشيتهم من ان يتحور الى فيروس يمكن ان ينقل العدوى بسهولة من فرد لآخر مما سيؤدي الى تفشي وباء قد يتسبب في مقتل الملايين من الأشخاص.​

Despite the strain, "said the 5 H 1" of the bird flu virus rarely affects humans express experts fear it could mutate into a virus that can infect easily from person to person, sparking a pandemic could cause the deaths of millions of people.​

ومعظم المصابين في مصر كانوا على اتصال بطيور محلية مصابة في بلد تعتمد فيه نحو خمسة ملايين أسرة على دواجن تُربى في المنازل كمصدر هام للطعام والدخل.​

Most people living in Egypt had been in contact with infected domestic birds in a country where the adoption of some five million families on the poultry kept at home as an important source of food and income.​

وقالت منظمة الصحة العالمية انها تخشى من ان بعض المصريين ربما يحملون فيروس أنفلونزا الطيور دون ان تظهر عليهم أعراضه وهو ما قد يمنح الفيروس فرصة أكبر للتحول الى سلالة تنتشر بسهولة بين البشر.​

The World Health Organization said it feared that some of the Egyptians may have avian influenza virus without showing any symptoms, which may give the virus a greater chance of turning into a strain easily spread among humans. :tiphat:http://translate.google.com/transla...&tl=en&u=http://www.masrawy.com/news/&prev=_t​

Egyptian boy contracts bird flu
A four-year-old boy in Egypt has been diagnosed with the potentially deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu.

The Egyptian health ministry says the boy is from the Nile Delta region and has been in contact with sick poultry.

His condition is described as stable. Since bird flu in Egypt first appeared in 2006, there have been 70 cases of infection and 26 people have died.

Egypt is the country worst affected by bird flu outside of Southeast Asia, with a spate of new cases since spring.

The boy who is from Sharqiya province was taken to a local hospital suffering from high fever and flu symptoms, an official from the health ministry told the Egyptian news agency Mena.

Later he was transferred to Cairo where he tested positive for the H5N1 strain of bird flu and received anti-viral drug treatment.

Egypt has seen a surge in cases of avian flu in recent weeks. Ten new infections have been reported since the beginning of April. That is more than the total number of cases in 2008.

The World Health Organization has called for an investigation into why many of those contracting the disease had been children.

Millions of Egyptians raise poultry for their own requirements or to generate some extra income. The birds are often kept on roof tops and come into close proximity to humans.

CAIRO, May 14 (Reuters) - A four-year-old Egyptian boy has contracted the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus, bringing to 70 the number of human avian flu cases in the most populous Arab country, the state news agency MENA reported.
Egypt has been hit harder by the virus than any other country outside Asia and has seen a surge of cases in recent weeks. Ten new human infections have been reported since April 1 -- more than the country saw in all of 2008.
The latest sufferer from the virus is from the Nile Delta province of Sharkiya, MENA said.
The avian flu virus rarely infects people, but experts say they fear it could mutate into a form that humans could easily pass to one another, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions. Some 26 Egyptians have died after contracting the virus.
Most of those infected had come into contact with infected domestic birds in a country where 5 million households raise poultry as a significant source of food and income.
MENA reported that the boy, believed to have contracted the virus from sick household birds, had entered hospital suffering from a high fever and showing flu symptoms.
He was being treated with the anti-viral drug Tamiflu and was in a stable condition, MENA added.
Last month, Egypt ordered the culling of all the country's 300,000 to 400,000 pigs as a precaution against the new H1N1 influenza strain, also known as swine flu, which has infected nearly 6,000 people in more than 30 countries. The new virus has not been detected in Egypt so far.
Since 2003, the more deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has infected more than 400 people in 15 countries and killed more than 250. It has killed or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds in 61 countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. (Writing by Cynthia Johnston, editing by Tim Pearce)

Egyptian boy contracts bird flu - MENA
15 May 2009 15:42:22 GMT
CAIRO, May 15 (Reuters) - A three-year-old Egyptian boy has contracted the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus, the 71st case in the populous Arab country, the state-run news agency MENA said on Friday.
It is the second case in as many days in Egypt, which has seen a surge in infections this year.
A spokesman for the Health Ministry said the boy showed symptoms including a high temperature after coming into contact with domestic poultry, MENA reported.
The boy, from Mahalla in the Nile Delta north of Cairo, was in a stable condition in hospital and being treated with Tamiflu, the spokesman added.
Since 2003 the avian influenza virus has infected more than 400 people in 15 countries and killed 256 of them. It has killed or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Egypt has been hit harder by bird flu than any other country outside of Asia.
Twenty-three Egyptians have died after contracting the virus, most after contact with infected domestic birds in a country where roughly 5 million households depend on raising domestic poultry as a major source of food and income.
While the H5N1 virus only rarely infects people, experts fear it could mutate into a form that humans could easily pass to one another, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions.
Last month, Egypt ordered the culling of all the country's 300,000 to 400,000 pigs as a precaution against the new H1N1 influenza strain, also known as swine flu, which has infected nearly 6,000 people in more than 30 countries.
