4/6/07 Media Reports--A national source reports that a pediatrician and "specialist" in childhood diseases at the Manshia al-Bakry Hospital [city unknown] announced that a 5 year-old girl and a 16 year-old male were detained [with suspected AI]. [No details were provided about symptoms, treatments, contact with poultry, or towns of origin].

Hat-tips to AnnieB -- for pointing out the probable identities of these two sus cases (they are probably the 2 sus cases from Al Minyah as reported in this article) -- and to pugmom for the translation!

Edit: Note that they are both from in/around Bani Mazar -- the same place that the most recently confirmed case is from.
