H5N1 Hospitalized Health Care Worker in Qalyubiyah Egypt

Recombinomics Commentary 19:18
January 1, 2008

In Qalyubiyah detained Hospital pathogenesis Banha Safa Abdel Mohammed, a nurse at the health unit necessary for the village's center Shebin Spans on suspicion of being infected because they are raising birds at home, and it appeared the symptoms of the disease.

The above translation describes the hospitalization of a suspected H5N1 infected health care worker in Qalyubiyah. Although she raises birds at home, the number of confirmed and suspect H5N1 infected patients continues to rise (see satellite map). In addition to the five confirmed cases, there are twenty-one suspect cases, including one fatality in Cairo, a family of four in Port Said, and a father and daughter in Menoufia.

This dramatic increase in confirmed and suspect cases is alarming. In the past week, four of the five suspect cases have died, as has one of the suspect cases.

More detail on the suspect cases would be useful.

Spike in H5N1 Confirmed and Suspect Cases in Egypt

Recombinomics Commentary 20:37
January 1, 2008

In the past week the number of confirmed and suspect H5N1 cases has increased dramatically in Egypt (see satellite map). Following a lull in cases over the summer and fall, the first confirmed H5N1 fatality was reported a week ago, In contrast to the end of last season, when one of seventeen infections were fatal, four of the first five cases have died. The number of suspect cases has also increased steadily in the past several days, including one fatal case in Cairo.

Two of the confirmed cases were in Menoufia, which also has the largest concentration of suspect cases. Included in this geographical cluster, is a familial cluster of two (father and daughter). The concentration of the cases in the same governorate suggests some or most of these cases represent H5N1 infections.

In additional to the cluster in Menoufia, there is another familial cluster in Port Said involving a family of four, as well as a hospitalized health care worker.

The dramatic rise in confirmed cases signals a more efficient transmission of H5N1. These confirmed cases are supported by the suspect cases, which represents a dramatic increase in cases. Last season there was a spike in cases in March, but those cases were mild and there were no reported fatalities. In contrast, the current outbreak has a high frequency of reported cases couple with a high case fatality rate.

These combinations suggest the H5N1 has evolved and acquired these two properties seen last season (frequent infections and a high CFR). The combination of these two properties suggests evolution via recombination.

Release of sequences from poultry and human infections is critical. It is unclear of the current H5N1 has an Egyptian genetic background, which has evolved further, or represents a modified Uva Lake sequence, which is widely circulating in Europe.

In either case, the result is a dramatic increase in fatal H5N1 infections in a region which has supported rapid H5N1 previously.

More information on the suspect cases is critical.

H5N1 Familial Cluster Within Menoufia Cluster

Recombinomics Commentary 00:14
January 2, 2008

Adel Mohamed Adel detained, from Sers Al-Layan and his daughter Doaa,

The above translation defines a familial cluster within the Menoufia geographical cluster. The number of confirmed and suspect cases in this governorate is significant. Two of the confirmed cases (26F, 22F) are there, as are 10 suspect cases (see satellite map). In addition to the familial cluster, the are at least two additional geographical clusters involving a confirmed and suspect case foring one cluster, and two suspect cases form a second geographical cluster within the cluster.

Thus, in total there are 12 confirmed or suspect H5N1 cases in Menoufia, and three clusters within the cluster. These suspect clusters have been reported in the past few days, so more information on additional laboratory tests should be available.

Release of this additional information would be useful.

To intensify campaigns against bird flu after fierce return of the disease 1/1/2008 4:48:00 PM


To intensify campaigns against bird flu


Cairo-editor-Masrawi admitted Amin Abaza, Minister of Agriculture, loosening his ministry in the fight against avian influenza in the last few months, and said: ministry inaction caused the spread of the disease again, and why considerable annoyance.

He pointed out that the ministry had not covered the campaign so far more than 30% of the target areas.

He described that proportion ability, and said it in a good proportion of difficult access to poultry breeders in homes and questioned people in the vaccination, according to the Egyptian newspaper today.

The minister decided that the campaign of the Ministry of Agriculture has succeeded in bringing down the number of infected farms to 3 farms only, rose to 13 farm because of the inaction of the campaign, and does not advise farmers on the new infections.

In a related news agency said the Middle East to the overall management of Investigation has launched a campaign Giza security for the follow-up outbreaks of avian influenza and to surround, and managed to control the 3150 chickens alive without a permit possession of 4 persons prior to their putting forward for sale in the markets.

The campaign aimed to intensify Almrorat night and day-circles sections of the Directorate of the provisions controlling the outlets and activate procedures to ban the transfer of live birds only by permit and work to seize and ban sale markets, stores Assembly to reduce the spread of avian influenza.

In Menoufiya Dr Saif Al-Din Hassan, Undersecretary of the Ministry of veterinary medicine brown is being intensified campaigns on the 4882 farm control at the level of governance are periodic sampling and examination prior to the sale well in advance so as to follow unless they are free from infection with the control of transport and tighten procedures.

However, in the heart of Europe in silence ... Avian influenza summons the strength in ?stronghold? Asia and the Arab region was conducted ?maneuvering? to spread
Cairo-Amina Khairy life-01/01/08 / /


Pharmaceutical companies have been highly profitable thanks to the panic ?plague of poultry?
Lastly year 2007 to a dismal spectacle of successive blows to the epidemic ?bird flu? in Europe and the Arab region and the Far East, suggested that the virus ?H 5 to 1? (who leads the Wave since 4 years) summon the strength, especially in the ?stronghold? Asian firm, which saw its birth originally.


Return to Asia

Amid frequent reports on the prevalence of HIV ?bird flu? between animals (and humans) in the non-Asian country, the health authorities recorded in Russia recently contracted the infection fifth bird flu in a poultry farm in the ?Rostov? in the south of the country. It is noteworthy that Russia is fiercely resisting the epidemic because they fear bird migrations, especially those that come from the Chinese neighbor.

As a young Indonesian died after being infected with the virus sample in Indonesia lifted deaths from the disease in that archipelago to 94 injured.

According ?WHO?, Indonesia is more incidence of avian influenza that has spread in most territories of 33.

In the context of simultaneous, died of a child (4 years) in North Vietnam after his injury Avian. It has been known that HIV ?H 5 to 1? claimed the lives of four of the seven Vietnamese who were injured this year, rising to the outcome of injuries among people in that country, since the beginning of its spread in 2003, to 46 people.

The spread of HIV ?H 5 to 1? Vietnamese among birds in the form of a key; But some experts fear the possibility of altering the genetic composition of the virus, Vihor up to the image can move easily from one person to another, the pandemic threatens firing and B may claim millions of lives.

The data ?WHO? that ?bird flu? claimed the lives of 209 people worldwide, out of 340 known and said they were mostly from Indonesia, followed by Vietnam. It has been known that the disease striking birds and poultry strongly Venafqat hundreds of millions or executed result.

With the conclusion in 2007, returned the specter of the spread of HIV ?H 5 to 1? among humans, the spate of global threats thereof, for hanging in China, which experts believed that HIV was launched from the area of Lake ?Changdong? there. It declared ?WHO? injury August (52 years old) in the area of Avian ?Kiangso? eastern China after days of the death of his son, young (26 years old), the impact of the disease, as renewed fears of the possibility of disease transmission between humans.

It warned health authorities in the country ?Uncle Mao? of the strong possibility of the spread of avian influenza during the winter and spring. With authorities search for a causal link between the injury and the son of his father Avian. China and includes the largest number of poultry worldwide, and also include the public to raise millions of birds in the yards of homes. Therefore, experts consider to China as a vital arena in the fight against avian influenza.

Amid growing warnings of a new outbreak of bird flu in a number of Asian countries this winter, Pakistan announced recently by the death of the first result of human disease, and confirmed ?Myanmar? (formerly Burma) also emergence of the first human infection.

In a related development, the United Nations today expressed concern over the HIV endemic ?H 5 to 1? in some parts of Europe, stating that research has shown that the ducks and geese published in the form of the disease than had been envisaged.

In an official statement, Joseph Dominic between large veterinary officers in the ?FAO? ( 'FAO) it is believed that a new chapter in the evolution of avian influenza ?unfolding in the heart of Europe silently?!

The statement was issued after German scientists discovered that the virus causing the bird flu in a local Navk Butt started in good health before.


Virtual simulation of human pandemic

Arabs, Kuwait announced that it has recently succeeded in getting rid of this virus, having suffered Doajnha during the last five months. During that period, the Ministry of Agriculture announced the discovery of HIV Saudi ?H 5 to 1? in the draft for the production of ostriches in the governorate of Al-Kharj in the Riyadh region. The project consisted of three hangars includes 22 thousand bird. The competent bodies have to execute the project and all the birds disposed of by sound, and the site cleared and closed. In a related development, Jordan took action in anticipation of the entry and B ?bird flu? him.

She recalled procedures virtual simulation experiment conducted by the ?Office of the East Mediterranean region? ( ?Imro?), during the current year, and included ways to confront that hit that region, which includes the Arab countries, likely HIV ?H 5 to 1? later converted into an element unable to hit people and spread quickly among them.

Took command of that experience in the virtual image not without dramatic, what gave it character operation. At the time, surprised the information advisor to the Office of ?Imro? Attendance announcement alarming news about the transmission of avian influenza virus to a stage which affects people, and announced its entry to the area. And immediately, Kst features panic faces, in particular that the atmospheres of those days who scoop simulation Tsidthma news of the emergence of human infection in Egypt, concentrated chatter over how to prepare for a pandemic of human disease.

Panic did not last long. He seemed, Raph spokesman had no information of participants, Osv them ?Bushra? that this news is only the title of the workshop included training in the stream of training to prepare for the real possibility of a pandemic, which is a possibility exists and strongly.

Varied reactions when the initial request information from each speaker present writing the first three steps to be taken after hearing such news. It emerged from contact with his family and began warning to leave the house or receive guests, as well as the isolation of the area where the injury occurred; mayors and others to close the border and stop the movement of travel to and from the state and so on.

Involved 16 countries in this ?maneuver?, which came in the context of a meeting organized by the ?Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, World Health Organization? in Amman to discuss strategies, goals and past experiences gained in the area of communication in the event of a human pandemic virus ?H 5 to 1?.

Then, warned the expert in infectious diseases surveys and forecasting in ?Imro? Dr. Ankhuya ran to a number of factors that exacerbate the dangers that beset States Territory in a human pandemic. He explained that many of these countries are engaged in daily contact with the rest of the world by tourist traffic and the movement of migrant labor and religious leaders and visitors between different regions.

He added that the region also plagued by a large number of natural disasters and other man-made, as a result of political instability, therefore, a lot of their health suffers disturbance and the inability to work surveys of infectious diseases. In this context, he ran to the weak role of the private medical sector in the area of health care, surveying and investigation of diseases. So most likely that these factors combine to put much of the region in the ?square of defeat? the time of the human pandemic. He pointed out that a number of countries in the region witnessed a epidemics such as cholera strikes in Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, and the types of ?meningitis? in southern Sudan, and ?Rift Valley fever? in Somalia, in addition to the critical situation with regard to avian influenza in Egypt, Iraq, Djibouti , which witnessed the deaths because of this epidemic.


The importance of transparency and the necessity of

The expert ran the degree of transparency in dealing with the dangers of pandemics and the spread of diseases in many countries of the region as ?incomplete?. He tried to interpret the lack of human resources capable of analyzing information and take practical decisions, and poverty communicate with the Ministry of Agriculture and other parties, in addition to the fear of the possibility of imposing different types of embargo and the collapse of tourism and economy is affected negatively as a result. As such States reduce the ways of modern communication and networking and underestimate their ability to transfer the facts and (rumors), and spell away from the control.

Transparency and modern form the bulk of the conference, to the extent that general manager ?Imro? Dr. Hussein Abdul Razak explained that the Algerian government had no excuse to withhold information about people or other nations in the international organizations working to counter pandemics epidemic.

He stressed that, despite the fact that it has been the practice in many countries of the region to wait until after a disaster to move or simply replies acts instead of preparedness in anticipation of a disaster, the situation of the possibility of outbreaks of disease such as avian flu from humans to humans is not likely risk Inaction, or complacency.


The plan, not reaction

In a related development that maneuver, he explained that the Algerian timely access and networking in the case ?presumed human pandemic, we must be prepared within a plan?. He added: ?The resolutions aimed at saving lives must be taken quickly occasion, as have specific acts usually completed help people to be reasonable degree of awareness and knowledge of the dimensions of the disaster before they occur?.

Because modern catastrophe such as we must be realistic and recognized catastrophic humanitarian dimensions, the Algerian talked openly about these possibilities, ?strict procedures to be taken in such circumstances ranging from wearing masks, and to avoid travel, but has worried public hospitals and the stigma that patients adhere , and the potential outbreak of demonstrations, and the loss of confidence in government, and a significant reduction in consumption, the whole list of possibilities should be ready to everyone ?.


At the conclusion in 2007 China launched test on the vaccine for humans evaluate HIV ?H 5 to 1?
It is clear that the meaning everyone in the event of a pandemic is not the State where the epidemic occurred, but the meaning is the world, because the definition pandemic epidemic, which is spreading at a global level.

He said ?calamities and diseases do not respect borders, and the problem in the country at the top of all headaches, and is currently impossible to look at the pandemic as a domestic or even regional?.

Speaking to maneuver the same as avian influenza, it is known that the experts identified the stages of the pandemic in six phases of time: the proportion of the risk to individuals simple, in high risk individuals to infection, and then the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain transmission of the virus from person to person, and then make sure the transmission of the virus from person to person, and then a marked increase in HIV transmission among humans, and finally global pandemic. Therefore, the Dr. Stella Chengong, expert working in the headquarters of ?WHO? that the outbreak of human pandemic Avian means the need to contain the epidemic as soon possible ways.

This includes containment procedures several steps, including quarantine, isolation and the use of antiretroviral use plans and communication and critical times of emergency. And although the procedures described in itself seems alarming, it comes under the rubric of action ?evil, which is essential?. Even in the event of failure of attempts containment, it may succeed in curbing the rapid spread of the pandemic, and thus reduce the number of deaths globally.

Through the chart entitled ?time: a vital factor? offered Chengong period of time it takes to alter the verification of the virus and its transmission between humans actually. And to take place between 20 and 30 days, then the time is very late to contain the situation. On the social level, communities affected by this risk substantially as expected impose quarantine on groups and specific regions, with the closure of schools, markets and the workplace, and to stop the movement of travel, cancel several occasions, especially those in large human populations. And then that becomes necessary plans for how accurate disposition of the pilgrimage season.

At the individual level, there are many steps that must be followed, such as spreading awareness about how whooping such as wearing masks, as well as an emphasis on the cleanliness of hands constantly, cleaning surfaces continuously and others.

The Chengong alerted to the explosion of several ethical issues in this regard, such as encroachment on personal freedom of movement, non-payment of their salaries for citizens, as well as the case of compensation due for submission forced Quarantine and isolation of health and others.

In this connection, he stressed the information advisor to the regional ?Imro? Dr. Ibrahim Alcardani the role of social mobilization in such a catastrophic situation. He believed that the problem of the spread of avian influenza virus ?probably will remain with us in the medium and long term, which inevitably will change our lives and our way of living and our food ... There is an imperative need to change our relationship with the birds ... It is not only a health problem ?. He pointed out that the starting point is to sensitize and mobilize citizens to prepare for potential risk, as well as identify the behavior of the near and realism.

For example, will benefit ignore reality refers to the presence of no fewer than five million Egyptian family living depends on the rearing of live birds. Cardani pointed to the need to consider a number of points before sending communications to the citizens example, must understand and identify target audiences, and to clarify the quality of the steps that citizens can take the time needed, and calling these messages to the test to ensure effectiveness and continuity, with the need to build trust with citizens and show many of the credibility and understanding to their embarrassment.

Is facing these facts, which were formulated during the ?virtual maneuvering? Arab States in the year 2008, if HIV hiked ?H 5 to 1? again stronghold of Asian, particularly Chinese, genetic composition has devolved to become a more prevalent among human beings?


Methods of prevention before the completion of the vaccine promised

Identify with the news about the continuing and B ?bird flu? caused by the virus ?H 5 to 1? H5N1 spreading globally, returned concern on the matter again. The increase in the severity of anxiety and the discovery of new hotbeds of HIV in a number of areas including the Arab countries, and the frequency of news about changes in the composition so that it more capable of damages intact humans. Perhaps the change in the installation of newer HIV ?H 5 to 1? that it is adapted to the relatively high temperature for hours and throat in humans, which exceeded its normal when birds. This means that the transmission of the bird to man is more easily. But transmission among humans (ie, from one person to another) is still rare. It has been known that prevention is the best way to confront the epidemic, including ?H 5 to 1?.

Adopt prevention of avian influenza on the public action. Perhaps most prominent are the measures aimed at limiting the spread of the epidemic among poultry and birds themselves. It must be protecting the people who work in the field of poultry and birds. It is the rest of the protectionist measures towards the protection of individuals themselves, a recent in a series of prevention. It should be mentioned the following points for the Prevention:

Must always recall that no vaccine prevents bird flu in the event of injury humans. There are American companies making efforts since for the manufacture of a vaccine for HIV ?H 5 to 1?. He did not reach yet.

The increase in the illustration, the influenza vaccine, which rush by the public and in the Arab world, not only gives immunity (partial) against human influenza. In fact, the only vaccine manufactured by the virus that has afflicted people in the previous year. This means that what is produced in the year 2007, is the vaccine used in the manufacture influenza virus that struck people in the winter of 2006, and Rabia. It has been known that the influenza virus changes the composition of the (slightly) every year. The biggest problem that HIV ?H 5 to 1?, if I turn to the people, it would completely new virus, and therefore not much use with any vaccine available in the market now.

Transmitted virus friction close with infected poultry, what must wear protective clothing for those working in farms infected or exposed to infection.

When injury, could pharmacological therapy ?Tammivlo?, ?Rilandza?.

In the event of injury of human beings, should not classify all influenza infection (Baradha known as heat and Alatas and muscle weakness, headaches and dizziness, cough and throat congestion, etc.) as Avian injury.

Not every bird and Ahn and the patient is infected with avian influenza. Health authorities must be notified when the suspect to confirm or deny the infection.

Preferred treatment of human infection in hospitals or homes, and leave from work. Preferably actually the least possible number of people.

Regarded hands (touching) of the most important means of transmission of influenza virus in general. In the case of the epidemic, it is advisable to tighten procedures for hygiene, especially hand-washing recurrence.

Because modern catastrophe such as we must be realistic and recognized catastrophic humanitarian dimensions, the Algerian talked openly about these possibilities, ?strict procedures to be taken in such circumstances ranging from wearing masks, and to avoid travel, but has worried public hospitals and the stigma adhere to the sick, and the potential outbreak of demonstrations, and the loss of confidence in government, and a significant reduction in consumption, the whole list of possibilities should be ready to everyone ?.


at the end in 2007 China launched test on the vaccine for humans evaluate HIV ?H 5 to 1?

Clearly, the meaning everyone in the event of a pandemic is not the State where the epidemic occurred, but the meaning is the world, because the definition pandemic epidemic, which is spreading at a global level.
He said ?calamities and diseases do not respect borders, and the problem in the country at the top of all headaches, and is currently impossible to look at the pandemic as a domestic or even regional?.
Speaking to maneuver the same as avian influenza, it is known that the experts identified the stages of the pandemic in six phases of time: the proportion of the risk to individuals simple, in high risk individuals to infection, and then the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain transmission of the virus from person to person , and then make sure the transmission of the virus from person to person, and then a marked increase in HIV transmission among humans, and finally global pandemic. Therefore, the Dr. Stella Chengong, expert working in the headquarters of ?WHO? that the outbreak of human pandemic Avian means the need to contain the epidemic as soon possible way.
This includes containment procedures several steps, including quarantine, isolation and the use of antiretroviral use plans and communication and critical times of emergency. And although the procedures described in itself seems alarming, it comes under the rubric of action ?evil, which is essential?. Even in the event of failure of attempts containment, it may succeed in curbing the rapid spread of the pandemic, and thus reduce the number of deaths globally.
Through chart entitled ?time: a vital factor? offered Chengong period of time it takes to alter the verification of the virus and its transmission between humans actually. And to take place between 20 and 30 days, then the time is very late to contain the situation. On the social level, communities affected by this risk substantially as expected impose quarantine on groups and specific regions, with the closure of schools, markets and the workplace, and to stop the movement of travel, cancel several occasions, especially those in large human populations. And then that becomes necessary plans for how accurate disposition of the pilgrimage season.
At the individual level, there are many steps that must be followed, such as spreading awareness about how whooping such as wearing masks, as well as an emphasis on the cleanliness of hands constantly, cleaning surfaces continuously and others.
The Chengong alerted to the explosion of several ethical issues in this regard, such as encroachment on personal freedom of movement, non-payment of their salaries for citizens, as well as the case of compensation due for submission forced Quarantine and isolation of health and others.
In this connection, he stressed the information advisor to the regional ?Imro? Dr. Ibrahim Alcardani the role of social mobilization in such a catastrophic situation. He believed that the problem of the spread of avian influenza virus ?probably will remain with us in the medium and long term, which inevitably will change our lives and our way of living and our food ... There is an imperative need to change our relationship with the birds ... It is not only a health problem ?. He pointed out that the starting point is to sensitize and mobilize citizens to prepare for potential risk, as well as identify the behavior of the near and realism.
will benefit instance ignore reality refers to the presence of no fewer than five million Egyptian family living depends on the rearing of live birds. Cardani pointed to the need to consider a number of points before sending communications to the citizens example, must understand and identify target audiences, and to clarify the quality of the steps that citizens can take the time needed, and calling these messages to the test to ensure effectiveness and continuity, with the need to build trust with citizens and show many of the credibility and understanding to their embarrassment.
Do you face these facts, which were formulated during the ?virtual maneuvering? Arab States in the year 2008, if HIV hiked ?H 5 to 1? again stronghold of Asian, particularly Chinese, genetic composition has devolved to become a more prevalent among human beings?


methods of prevention before the completion of the promised vaccine


identify with the news about the continuing and B ?bird flu? caused by the virus ?H 5 to 1? H5N1 spreading globally, returned concern on the matter again. The increase in the severity of anxiety and the discovery of new hotbeds of HIV in a number of areas including the Arab countries, and the frequency of news about changes in the composition so that it more capable of damages intact humans. Perhaps the change in the installation of newer HIV ?H 5 to 1? that it is adapted to the relatively high temperature for hours and throat in humans, which exceeded its normal when birds. This means that the transmission of the bird to man is more easily. But transmission among humans (ie, from one person to another) is still rare. It has been known that prevention is the best way to confront the epidemic, including ?H 5 to 1?.
adopt prevention of avian influenza on the public action. Perhaps most prominent are the measures aimed at limiting the spread of the epidemic among poultry and birds themselves. It must be protecting the people who work in the field of poultry and birds. It is the rest of the protectionist measures towards the protection of individuals themselves, a recent in a series of prevention. It should be mentioned the following points for the Prevention:
must always recall that no vaccine prevents bird flu in the event of injury humans. There are American companies making efforts since for the manufacture of a vaccine for HIV ?H 5 to 1?. He did not reach yet.
The increase in the illustration, the influenza vaccine, which rush by the public and in the Arab world, not only gives immunity (partial) against human influenza. In fact, the only vaccine manufactured by the virus that has afflicted people in the previous year. This means that what is produced in the year 2007, is the vaccine used in the manufacture influenza virus that struck people in the winter of 2006, and Rabia. It has been known that the influenza virus changes the composition of the (slightly) every year. The biggest problem that HIV ?H 5 to 1?, if I turn to the people, it would completely new virus, and therefore not much use with any vaccine available in the market now.
turns HIV friction close with infected poultry, what must wear protective clothing for those working in farms infected or exposed to infection.
when injury, could pharmacological therapy ?Tammivlo?, ?Rilandza?.
in the event of injury of human beings, should not classify all influenza infection (Baradha known as heat and Alatas and muscle weakness, headaches and dizziness, cough and throat congestion, etc.) as Avian injury.
not every bird and Ahn and the patient is infected with avian influenza. Health authorities must be notified when the suspect to confirm or deny the infection.
preferred treatment of human infection in hospitals or homes, and leave from work. Preferably actually the least possible number of people.
regarded hands (touching) of the most important means of transmission of influenza virus in general. In the case of the epidemic, it is advisable to tighten procedures for hygiene, especially hand-washing recurrence.

Re: EGYPT - Dec 4, 2007+

Kom Hamada is a placename -- it's where the dead schoolteacher was from. I don't think they mention his name in this article, though, so it wasn't very clear.
Whoops! Sorry -- not the schoolteacher. :oem

This guy is the person from Kom Hamada:

Beheira Governorate

Dec 30 - Mohamed Khalil Abdul Qawi (40M) - Ezbet "Notes", [Centre Kom Hamada] Kawm Hamadah

I think this report in Al Ahram that Dr. Niman posted is just reporting about this guy again, although like I said, they don't give his name in this report -- here's another translation:

The reservation of an employee [worker] took place in Kom Hamada city inside the Fever Hospital in Damanhur for the suspicion of his injury by the bird flu disease and that for its mixing of the birds that its wife Brtibha depends on the house roof in the yard farm and doctor Mahmoud Farid pointed - the veterinary medicine general manager in the governorate is that taking samples from the village birds and their sending to the central laboratories in Cairo.

Any idea why the report doesn't say anything about Menoufia? It seems many govenorates were covered, but Menoufia was conspicuously absent.

Re: EGYPT - Dec 4, 2007+

Aloha Friends,

What bothers me most in the recent cases are:

A) The report of an infected health care worker.

B) The family clusters.

Both represent exactly how I believe we will first learn of a pandemic. There will be limited information... It will be in a far off land... And the diagnosis of human to human contact will be slow...

Once we are in Stage 4 and Pandora is out of her box, Stages 5 and 6 will be upon us quickly.

Aloha,

Jason

Re: EGYPT - Dec 4, 2007+

Thanks to all of the newshound and trackers for following the situation in Egypt so closely these past 7-10 days. While Niman is right to raise concerns about the number of recently confirmed human cases in Egypt over this short time period, the number of suspected cases is not yet truly unusual.

Between February and April of 2007, hundreds of individuals per month were suspected cases, but these suspected cases were not individually reported in the news. It was only later reports that tabulated the true number of suspected cases as reported by Theresa42, here in November of 2007. A comparison of suspected to confirmed cases during this period shows that the number of suspected cases rose as the number of actual confirmed cases increased. link to graph: http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=106899&postcount=17
