Re: EGYPT - June 12, 2007+ - Human cases sus/conf

With H5N1 endemic in birds, it is difficult to distinguish a h2h cluster from common source contact. Even the time sequence of illness onset is of less help since there is potentially continous exposure to infected birds. Our early clinical signal for virus genetic change is now lost.

Absolutely!

This is still a suspected cluster, though -- and if one or both of these siblings were to be confirmed as having H5N1 it would be a confirmed cluster. Whether the cluster resulted from B2H2H or B2H + B2H is another question -- and, as you say, the difficult part to determine.

Re: EGYPT - June 12, 2007+ - Human cases sus/conf

Sorry -- there are 5 suspected cases totally in post #13 (2 or 3 siblings + grandmother/grand-daughter).

Since the top of this thread (just over two weeks), there are a total of 22 (23?) suspected cases (+ 1 confirmed case):

Suhaj - 5 (6?)
Qina - 1 + 2 + 4 + 4 +3 (+ 1 confirmed) = 14
Al Minufiyah - 1
Dakahlia - 2

Edit: And, given that our suspected case tracking record has averaged ca. 1 out of every 4, presumably there have been around 80-90 suspected cases in the last two weeks.
