          I misread/misinterpreted the original article which was referring to 9 admissions, not 9 in one family. It was 5 from the one family + 4 other unrelated individuals.

              Re: EGYPT - Jan 9, 2008+

              LaidbackAl sent me some notes on the suspected cases -- I think he's prolly correct about all of these and I'll include them when I update my list again. Thanks, Al!

              Some comments on your current list:

              Jan 08 - "Hope" Safwat Lance (25) - Menya Fevers Hospital [flubergasted @ FW]
              Jan 08 - Yasmeen Ali Ahmed (4F) - village of Sheikh Hassan - Menya Fevers Hospital [flubergasted @ FW]

              I think these two may be from Al Minya Governorate rather than Al Minufiyah Governorate.
              ----------------------

              Jan 09 - "the quality of" Mr. Mohammed (26)
              Jan 09 - Mahmoud Al "qulaity of Mr." (25)

              I think these are the same individuals from Dakahlia Governorate
              --------------
              I think:

              Jan 09 - Reza Solomon[listed already?]

              is the same individual as

              Jan 04 - Solomon Solomon Reza (2) - from the village of Gross Bbalkas - Mansoura Chest Hosp. - admitted Jan 3
              ------------------
              I think:

              Jan 09 - Nora "the blessing of" Muhammad Muhammad Abdul Hamid (35)

              is the same individual as

              Jan 04 - Nima Mohammed Mahmoud Abdul Hamid - Mansoura Chest Hosp.

                Thanks, that's what I thought

                In medicine (gastroenterology), esophageal varices are extremely dilated sub-mucosal veins in the esophagus. They are most often a consequence of portal hypertension, such as may be seen with cirrhosis; patients with esophageal varices have a strong tendency to develop bleeding.

                        Do I understand right that this patient escaped from a hospital, but was caught and re-admitted - forcibly? If yes, is this the first time it happens (I have a vague recollection of reading it's happened before, at least in Indonesia for the Karo cluster, but not sure about Egypt). And if yes, does this translate into a "desperate control measure"? Surely, a country's authorities wouldn't bother to catch a sick person if it was only normal flu?

                        Italian what ???? We'd need to investigate if there's a problem with translation or if they really are talking about some Italian official in Egypt. (I can't do it until late this evening, unfortunately, have to run urgent errands)

                            They've been looking for another 'bolter' in Egypt -- in Sohag governorate (although they're now not sure that that's where she's really from). They want her to be returned to hospital, too.

                            Yes -- they brought back Johannes Ginting in Karo, too, didn't they?).
                            Italian what ???? We'd need to investigate if there's a problem with translation or if they really are talking about some Italian official in Egypt. (I can't do it until late this evening, unfortunately, have to run urgent errands)).
                            That'a an artifact of the machine-translator. I should read Menoufiyan.
                            Kom Hamada - isn't that the town where the dead schoolteacher came from?
                            The four people from one family described as being from Kom Hamda are in Beheira governorate -- the male schoolteacher that died was from Cairo governorate.

                            Someone was from Kom Hamda, but I don't remember who. There might be more than one Kom Hamda, though.

                              Italian Health official(s) in Egypt? It seems very difficult, since the at the best ambassador staff members are usually involved in tourists' assistance. For the news, yesterday a minibus collided with another vehicle and at least two italians of a group of around twenty died as result of injuries suffered; location of accident, near El-Alamein, coastal area.
