This is the "extra" case in the FT list. Media reports in this FT thread report the age as either 76 or 86 for FT #3. However, a WHO report (link) only confirmed a 56-year-old woman from Damanhour, FT #1. Beside the media reports in that thread, there are no other reports of a second infected woman from Damanhour about this same time.
 
Re: Egypt - MoH expecting and planning for more bird flu H5N1 cases in 2014

Reliable media quote both the Egyptian Ministry and Beheira health departments in the reports of a woman (86,76) as an H5N1 case in April of 2014.

The media reports about the above case occurred when the Ministry of Health was not maintaining the government web site and when a military coup was in progress. The government was not functioning as previously. All official government reporting about disease situations had slowed to almost nothing by 2014 due to the turmoil in Egypt. In fact, only 4 human cases of H5N1 were reported in 2013, which must be a huge under count given the endemic nature of this disease in the poultry.

Due to faulty Egypt Ministry of Health reporting earlier this year, I am leaving the above case on our list.
