This sus case's name is reported two different ways: Rizk [Abdel] Aziz (رزق عبد العزيز) and Rizk Ibrahim (رزق إبراهيم).

Either one (or both!) of the articles has the name wrong. Or perhaps the person's name is Rizk [Abel] Aziz Ibrahim ... or Rizk Ibrahim [Abdel] Aziz. ??

I don't believe it. This report <i>actually</i> appears on the government's bf website! The article from Ahram repeats word-for-word what the press release on the website says:

http://birdflu.sis.gov.eg/ahtml/aflu05135.htm

Don't know if there's anything to read into this (like, perhaps, these people are particularly sick/suspected?) -- or if this is a new policy -- or just some sort of accident.... ?? Haven't seen named sus cases -- or even unnamed sus cases -- on the bf website in quite a while.

Child in Aswan tests positive for bird flu
Cairo - A two-year-old boy has tested positive for bird flu in the Egyptian province of Aswan, a Health Ministry source said on Monday.

http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=31&art_id=nw20070319105127100C944947

Last week, three children suspected of having bird flu were hospitalised in a fever hospital in Aswan.

Since the first outbreak of bird flu in Egypt in 2005, 13 of 25 people who contracted the illness have died.

After an initial panic, which saw many Egyptians get rid of their birds, people in rural areas have resumed raising poultry domestically to sell at public markets or as a source of cheap protein.

Previous cases of infection were caused by exposure to sick birds. If a person is infected the Egyptian health ministry usually monitors the other family members for signs of the disease.

Several weeks ago, the Egyptian government suspected that a mutated strain of the virus with "reduced susceptibility" to the Tamiflu vaccine had emerged.

Medical experts confirmed shortly afterwards that the virus had in fact not mutated to a new and more dangerous strain transmitted between humans. - Sapa-dpa

Re: EGYPT - March 16, 2007+ - News on confirmed/suspected cases

1) is this thread the default thread for Egypt cases - it would be useful if it is.

2) is there a graph of cases versus time, in Egypt , anywhere on this site?
 
Re: EGYPT - March 16, 2007+ - News on confirmed/suspected cases

What would really be interesting is a map of Egypt that shows where the cases with M230I (or fatalities since each one that had the virus with M230I died) were versus the cases that recovered.

Egyptian boy, 2, tests positive for bird flu
19 Mar 2007 10:39:05 GMT
Source: Reuters

CAIRO, March 19 (Reuters) - A 2-year-old Egyptian boy has tested positive for bird flu, becoming the country's 26th human case of avian influenza, Egypt's health ministry said in a statement on Monday.

The statement gave the child's name as Youssef Mohamed Mahmoud, and said he had been admitted to hospital in the southern city of Aswan on Fri being infected with the deadly virus.

Mahmoud had been treated and was in stable condition, and his family were being kept under observation, the statement added. On Wednesday a 10-year-old girl in Aswan tested positive for bird flu.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) chief veterinary officer Joseph Domenech said on Thursday that Egypt was one of three countries that still do not have sufficient bird flu controls in place.

Since 2003, H5N1 in birds has spread to more than 50 countries as far apart as China and Britain. The real fear is that the virus could mutate into a form that people can easily pass from one to another and spark a pandemic.

Thirteen people have died of bird flu in Egypt since the virus first appeared in poultry in early 2006. Worldwide nearly 170 have been killed since 2003, according to WHO
