Six sick Egyptians test negative for bird flu-WHO
Sun 11 Feb 2007 16:07:23 GMT


CAIRO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Six Egyptians who were suspected of having the deadly bird flu virus after displaying flu-like symptoms have tested negative for the disease, a World Health Organisation official said on Sunday.

"They are all negative," said John Jabbour, a WHO official in Cairo.

State news agency MENA had reported on Saturday that six Egyptians near the town of Fayoum, where a 17-year-old girl died from bird flu last week, were suspected of having contracted the H5N1 virus. One was reported to be seriously ill.

Egypt has the largest known cluster of human bird flu cases outside of Asia. Some 20 people are known to have contracted the disease in Egypt since the virus first surfaced in Egyptian poultry a year ago. Twelve have died. In January, the World Health Organisation said two people who had died of bird flu in Egypt in December were found to have a strain of the virus which has shown moderate resistance to the frontline anti-viral Tamiflu.

Jabbour has said that strain has not re-appeared, and the version of the virus that killed the 17-year-old from Fayoum was not resistant to Tamiflu. But he said the girl was diagnosed too late for Tamiflu to reverse the course of the disease.

Six suspect cases cleared of human bird flu in Egypt
Sun Feb 11, 9:34 AM ET

CAIRO (AFP) - Six Egyptians suspected of contracting bird flu have tested negative for the deadly virus, the health ministry said, amid fears of a global surge in infections.

"The six suspected cases admitted to the hospital all tested negative for the H5N1 virus," ministry spokesman Abdel Rahman Shaheen told AFP Sunday.

The six, including a three-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman in critical condition, were from villages around the oasis town of Fayyum south of Cairo, the home of the last person to die from the virus in Egypt.

Shaheen said suspected cases have been fairly frequent in Egypt since the virus first appeared in March 2006.

"Out of 2,292 suspected cases, we have had 20 real cases and all the rest were negative," he said, adding that people hospitalized with flu-like symptoms who have regular contact with poultry are considered suspect cases.

Bird flu has claimed the lives of 12 people in Egypt, 11 of them women, making it the fifth most affected country in the world and the worst-hit outside Asia.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 160 people have now died from bird flu around the world. Experts fear the virus could cause a pandemic by mutating into a form that is transmissible between humans.

"Out of 2,292 suspected cases, we have had 20 real cases and all the rest were negative," he said, adding that people hospitalized with flu-like symptoms who have regular contact with poultry are considered suspect cases.

Most suspected cases are not officially reported. At least not anywhere that I've found.

Most of the sus cases we hear about around here are found via news reports -- and my impression (which could be wrong) is that the journalists are getting most of their info directly from the hospitals. Sometimes it's mentioned that some local gov't authority gave out some info about sus cases, but pretty rarely.

This last announcement about 6 sus cases coming from MENA (the gov't press agency) was actually quite unusual.

That number of 2,292 -- I wonder if that's true sus cases (i.e. people showing flu-like symptoms)? -- or just the total number of people who have been tested. The Egyptian gov't seems to be regularly testing folks without symptoms who are just in the area where there's a bf outbreak (lots of poultry farm workers have been tested, for instance). But, who knows -- maybe that figure really is people who have had symptoms. Yikes!

Re: Egypt - Tracking, News - Human Feb 10+

Maryinhawaii pointed me to the fact that there are two different reports of critically ill women from Al-Fayyum. (Hat-tip, Mary! Good catch!)

AFP reported on the 10th that there is a critically ill woman aged 24 from Al-Fayyum province. I thought that perhaps she was Fatah Abd Al-Salam (23):

Six Egyptians being tested for bird flu - MENA

10 Feb 2007 19:28:23 GMT

Source: Reuters

CAIRO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Six Egyptians were being tested for bird flu in a town south of Cairo on Saturday after displaying flu-like symptoms, state news agency MENA reported.

They are from several villages near the town of Fayoum and range in age from three to 40, MENA said, adding that one of them, a 24-year-old female, was in critical condition.

(...)

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L10351259.htm

I'm guessing that this 24 year-old is this person:

Doctor Hussein Sophie Aboutalb said, the Ministry of Health deputy in Al Fayyum Um Hashem's detention took place Fatah Abd Al-Salam "23 a year", from a village an ash turned [Dar ashes] and suffers from a double pneumonia and a rise in the temperature, and it became clear that it was the intermixture of birds in its house where it died 7 chicken.

http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...8&postcount=43

A subsequent report, though, does mention a critically ill 24 year old from Al Fayyum -- different name, different village:

And he said that the conditions Al Mkhtgza are Naglaa Ahmed Atiya / 24 years / house lord [housewife] from the village of Al Hit facility in Atsa center and its condition is critical....

http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...0&postcount=49

So, it sounds like there are two critically ill women in their mid-20s from Al Fayyum governorate.

Currently between 65-79 known suspected cases in Egypt

Updated list (previous list 02/09).

Nine (9) more new sus cases reported in the last two days: 1 new sus case from Al Minufiyah; 1 new sus case in Qina; 1 new sus case in Al Gharbiyah; and 6 new cases in Al Fayyum -- all (6) of whom tested neg the day after being admitted to Al Fayyum Fevers Hospital (??).

There were 6 negatives reported -- the same 6 (?) newly reported cases from Al Fayyum.
