Re: Egypt - Human Cases/Suspected H5N1 April 20+
I do not have an independent verification of this report -
from Egyptian Chronicles Blog
A New Bird flu alerts
I do not know if this hideous virus is going to hit Egypt again in Egypt in Summer or what ??
From couple of weeks ago I read in one of the newspapers that the virus returned to spread between poultry and the farmers are getting rid of the infected chicken themselves , they do not want to inform th authorities for fear the authorities would come and kill all their poultry like what happened from two years and led to the bankruptcy of several poultry raisers , needless to say the economic situation in Egypt is not the best one now.
Anyhow last Sunday 7 years old Islam Abd El-Halim entered a hospital in Fayoum on suspicion of being infected with H5N1 ,a sample was taken from him and sent to Cairo to be analysed. He is from the ?Vidimin? village.
Fayoum Governate in general is a hot Zone for the virus as it is a center for birds in Egypt due to its location and climate. Already Birds lovers go there to watch and hunt down the birds.
I believe the health ministry should establish Laboratories in H5N1 Hot zones like Qalyubia and Fayoum to save time and effort.
