Egypt reports 16th bird flu death [Oula Yunis Ali Mohamed]
26/12/2007 13:24 CAIRO, Dec 26 (AFP) Egypt reports 16th bird flu death
An Egyptian woman has died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu, the 16th person to succumb to the virus in Egypt, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
Oula Yunes Ali, 25, died on Tuesday after being admitted to hospital on Friday with a high fever, ministry spokesman Abdel Rahmane Shahin said in a statement carried by the official MENA news agency.
Women and children have borne the brunt of the virus due to their role in taking care of domestic fowl.
Egypt's location on major bird migration routes and the widespread practice of keeping domestic fowl near living quarters have led to it being the hardest-hit country outside Asia.

A 25-year-old Egyptian woman has died of bird flu, Egypt's Ministry of Health said on Wednesday.
It is the first human death in Egypt from the virus since June and the 16th since the disease arrived in early 2006.
The ministry named the woman as Ola Younis from Beni Haroun village in Beni Suef province, south of Cairo.
She entered Beni Suef hospital on December 21 with a high temperature and breathing problems, was diagnosed on Tuesday and died the same day, it said in a statement.
Younis had been in contact with birds thought to be infected with bird flu, the ministry said. The state news agency MENA said health officials were checking her relatives to see whether they showed traces of the virus.
The H5N1 virus which causes bird flu tends to lie dormant during the summer and Egyptian officials had hoped that after two years of outbreaks it would not re-occur this winter.
The case brings the total among humans in Egypt to 39.
The death toll is the highest for any country outside Asia and could reflect the high population density in agricultural parts of Egypt.

CAIRO, December 26 (RIA Novosti) - A 25-year-old woman has died of bird flu in Egypt, the country's health ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
According to the ministry, the woman who contracted the virus in the Beni Suweif province 130 km south of capital Cairo was hospitalized last Friday with a fever and breathing difficulties.
Abdul Rahman Shahin said this was the 16th victim of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus since the first case was reported in the Middle East country in February 2006.
Of 39 Egyptians infected with bird flu, mostly women and children who contracted the virus after coming into contact with infected poultry, 16 have died.
A total of 207 deaths have been registered worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2003.
Although no cases of human-to-human transmission of avian influenza have been reported, scientists fear the virus could mutate into a strain that could pass easily from person to person, causing a global pandemic.

CAIRO (AFP) An Egyptian woman died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu, the 16th person to succumb to the virus in Egypt, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
Oula Yunes Ali, 25, died on Tuesday after being admitted to hospital on Friday with a high fever, ministry spokesman Abdel Shahin said.
Ali was hospitalized with fever and respiratory problems after spending time in proximity to infected birds at home. Her family will now undergo tests to see if they have been infected.
It was the 39th case of reported human bird flu infection since the virus first appeared in Egypt in February 2006.
Women and children have borne the brunt of the virus due to their role in taking care of domestic fowl. A 10-year-old girl was the last person to die from the disease in Egypt in June.
Egypt's location on major bird migration routes and the widespread practice of keeping domestic fowl near living quarters have led to it being the hardest-hit country outside Asia.
The government says it is conducting a vigorous campaign to combat the spread of the virus through vaccinations and raising awareness, but cases continue to appear.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this year that countries around the world had improved their resistance to bird flu, but the situation remains critical in Egypt and Indonesia where the risk of the H5N1 virus mutating into a major human threat remains high.
Egypt and Indonesia remained high-risk because of the permanent contact that many people in both nations have with domesticated birds.
Egypt's health ministry says an Egyptian woman has died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu. She is the 16th person to succumb to the virus in Egypt.
Authorities say the 25-year old woman was diagnosed with bird flu Tuesday and died the same day. She had entered a hospital in the central province of Beni Suef last Friday.
Authorities suspect the woman came into contact with infected birds at her home. Family members are being tested to see if they also are infected.
In Vietnam, health officials say they suspect a four-year-old child from northern Vietnam died of bird flu earlier this month at a Hanoi hospital. If confirmed, it would be Vietnam's 47th death from the virus since late 2003.
Also Wednesday, authorities in Indonesia reported the death of a 24-year old woman from the H5N1 virus.
She died at a hospital in Jakarta Tuesday, becoming Indonesia's 94th confirmed fatality from the virus.
Indonesian officials are still trying to determine how she was exposed to the virus. Indonesia has had more cases of bird flu in humans than any other country.
Health experts say humans become infected with the virus after coming into contact with sick poultry. They are concerned that the virus could evolve into a form easily transmissible between humans, which could result in a serious worldwide outbreak.
26 December 2007
The Ministry of Health and Population, Egypt has announced a new case of human infection of H5N1 avian influenza.. The case is a 25 year old female from Bany Suwef Governorate. She was hospitalized on the 21 December and died on 25 December. The source of her exposure is currently under investigation.
Egypt reported the last confirmed case of H5N1 in July 2007. Of the 39 cases confirmed to date in Egypt, 16 have been fatal.
An Egyptian woman has died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu, the 16th person to succumb to the virus in Egypt, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
Oula Yunes Ali, 25, died on Tuesday after being admitted to hospital on Friday with a high fever, ministry spokesman Abdel Rahmane Shahin said
The above comments describe the first H5N1 case this season in Egypt. New cases in Egypt were not unexpected. H5N1 was recently confirmed in multiple governorates in the Nile Delta, including roof-top holdings in Giza.
Egypt has submitted OIE reports on 922 outbreaks (see satellite maps hereherehereherehere), and have had the largest number of confirmed cases outside of Egypt.
Birds migrate through Egypt at this type, and the Gharbiya cluster was confirmed almost exactly one year ago.
Moreover, Egypt had just issued an alert, signaling a failure of the vaccination program, and they began dispensing Tamiflu to hospitals and clinics in the Nile Delta.
There is an extensive database of human and bird H5N1 sequences from Egypt, which a number of regional markers. However, this season the Uva Lake strain of H5N1 is widespread in Europe and the Middle East, so the sequences from this season in Egypt would be of interest.

It is the first human death in Egypt from the virus since June and the 16th since the disease arrived in early 2006.
The ministry named the woman as Ola Younis from Beni Haroun village in Beni Suef province, south of Cairo.
She entered Beni Suef hospital on December 21 with a high temperature and breathing problems, was diagnosed on Tuesday and died the same day, it said in a statement.
Younis had been in contact with birds thought to be infected with bird flu, the ministry said. The state news agency MENA said health officials were checking her relatives to see whether they showed traces of the virus.
The above comments provide additional detail on the first reported H5N1 fatality in Egypt this season. Earlier reports had described H5N1 positive birds in three governorates in the Nile Delta (Giza, Shariq, Gharbiya – see satellite map).
The Beni Suef location extends the presence of H5N1 to the south. At this time last year, Egypt reported its largest cluster to date, which was in Gharbiya. The HA sequence had two receptor binding domain changes, V223I and M230I. Thus same changes were subsequently found in birds in Gharbiya and Beni Suef. All patients positive for M230I died.
Sequence data on the first case this season in Egypt would be of interest. In the prior two seasons, the H5N1 had a number of regional sequences in common. However, wild birds can bring new sequences into the region, and the wild bird sequences this season in Europe link back to Uva Lake, which is distinct from the previous sequences in Egypt.
The large number of outbreaks in Egypt (see additional satellite maps herehereherehere), allow four extensive recombination between closely related clade 2.2 sequences. This lead to more genetic complexity last season, including the Tamiflu resistance marker, N294S, which was in H5N1 from the Gharbiya cluster collected prior to treatment.
The reports of H5N1 circulating in Europe and the Middle East, as well as a large human cluster in Pakistan, increases the likelihood of new human sequences in the region, with novel combinations of polymorphisms, including receptor binding domain changes, leading to larger clusters.

Women and children have borne the brunt of the virus due to their role in taking care of domestic fowl. A 10-year-old girl was the last person to die from the disease in Egypt in June.
Egypt's location on major bird migration routes and the widespread practice of keeping domestic fowl near living quarters have led to it being the hardest-hit country outside Asia.
The government says it is conducting a vigorous campaign to combat the spread of the virus through vaccinations and raising awareness, but cases continue to appear.
The above comments note the prior fatal case in Egypt. However, that case was the only fatality in the 17 confirmed cases preceding the latest case. In contrast, the first 7 cases in Egypt last season died. Most of those early cases had M230I. Since all cases with M230I died, the current case raises the possibility that M230I has re-emerged in Egypt.
Last season there was a convergence of M230I at the beginning of the season. It was encoded with sequences that traced back to an eagle owl in Germany, or H7 sequences circulating in Europe. H7 was subsequently identified in birds in Egypt. M230I is also present in human seasonal flu, including influenza B.
M230I was found in a chicken from Beni Suef, isolated March 8, 2007 as well as a chicken in Gharbiya, isolated February 15, 2007. These poultry isolates raise the possibility of a re-emergence of M230I was more birds migrate into the region and sequences in Egypt become more complex.
The large number of domestic poultry cases (see satellite map of OIE cases hereherehereherehere), coupled with overlapping flyways and endemic H5N1 provide an opportunity for significant H5N1 evolution in Egypt.
Release of sequence data on the latest case would be useful.

Looks like this story was released in the evening Egypt time, so the story hasn't been picked up by any of the papers yet (clever release timing?). Al Wafd's Breaking News ticker has a blurb on it though.
Sounds as though the victim may have been transferred on Friday to the hospital that she died in rather than having been admitted on that day. She may have been in a more local hospital or clinic before that. Not 100% clear yet.

DUBAI, 27 December 2007 (IRIN) - Another human victim of bird flu - the 16th in Egypt - has been registered in the country, underlining the fact that the deadly H5N1 strain of avian flu, which was first detected in Egypt in February 2006, has not disappeared.
The Ministry of Health said on 26 December that a 25-year-old woman had died the previous day in a village near Beni Souef, about 100km south of Cairo. The woman, who had handled infected birds at home, was admitted to hospital on 21 December suffering from pneumonia and respiratory problems.
This was the 39th case of human bird flu infection reported since the H5N1 virus was first detected in the country. It was the first human death from bird flu since June 2007, when a 10-year-old girl died. In Egypt, most victims of avian flu have been women and children because of their role in raising domestic fowl.
Nakhla Amany, regional planning assistant for avian flu in the Cairo office of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told IRIN that in this specific case the Egyptian health authorities had taken the right measures. “They immediately took the victim to hospital once they detected the symptoms of avian flu and they conducted the right tests.”
She regretted, however, the delay by the victim’s family in seeking medical help. The family is being tested to see if anybody else has been infected.
Egypt has taken a number of stringent measures to combat the spread of the avian flu virus, including banning the raising of birds in towns and their transportation between provinces, and controlling where they are raised and sold.
A programme to raise awareness of the risks posed by bird flu has been in place since February 2006, and a major campaign was launched in early 2007 to vaccinate domestic birds - the most common route by which transmission of avian flu from birds to humans takes place.
Multiple outbreaks of bf in poultry farms and backyard poultry around Egypt -- 5 outbreaks in poultry farms and 6 in backyard birds (some already reported above). Also, some info on Ola Younis.

She was hospitalized on the 21 December and died on 25 December. The source of her exposure is currently under investigation.
Egypt reported the last confirmed case of H5N1 in July 2007. Of the 39 cases confirmed to date in Egypt, 16 have been fatal.
Hat-tip to AlohaOR who noticed that the WHO changed its report on Ola Younis. Their original report (above) said that she was hospitalized on Dec 21 as most (all?) of the media reports say. The WHO's new report (below) says that she was admitted to hospital on Dec 23. Friday, Dec 21, might be the day that Ola was admitted to the local hospital in Bani Suwayf, while Sunday, Dec 23, might be the day she was transferred to the hospital in Cairo. Why the WHO leaves out the first hospitalization doesn't make any sense to me. ??

A 25-year-old Egyptian woman died of bird flu on Sunday, the second fatality among humans in Egypt in less than one week, the Health Ministry said.
Fatma Fathi Mohamed died in hospital in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, three days after she was admitted to a smaller local hospital with a high temperature and difficulty breathing, it said in a statement carried by the state news agency MENA.
Her death was the 17th in Egypt since the virus was first detected in February 2006. (Writing by Jonathan Wright; editing by Keith Weir)
Concerned authorities reinforced preparations in face of bird flu disease, following case 41 that brought death toll to 16 cases.
Dr. Hatem el Gabaly, minister of health & population discussed with officials protective procedures that can prevent increase of infected cases.
The minister urged intensifying measures at chest and fever hospitals all over the country.
He gave due directives to MOH information center to accelerate measures for preparing the media campaign regarding keeping the citizens aware of symptoms and dangers of the disease and how to deal with it.
Dr. Fathi Saad, governor of Giza decided to launch surprise campaigns at home-bred poultry as well as at living bird-stores So as to close those that are out-of-law.
Hassan Hemaida, governor of Menoufya stated on 28-12-2007 that work-teams have been formed to execute poultry infected with bird flu using safe methods. He stressed the fact that it is highly important to follow up poultry farms mounting to about 4882 all over the governorate.
He also issued a decree to cut power and water off stores selling living poultry.
He ordered to confiscate the arrested quantities, to check them and then to get them slain at automatic slaughter houses.
He added that 10 vehicles have been arrested being loaded with feathers and wastes without license.
He stressed intensifying regular inspection patrols at poultry farms to get samples and send them to MOH central labs.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health announced on Thursday 27/12/2007 that two new human bird flu cases have been detected.
Abdel-Rahman Shahin, the Spokesman for the Ministry, said the first case was admitted to Damietta chest hospital on December 24 after suffering from high temperature and breathing problems as a result of the virus, Shahin added.
Now, the patient is being treated in the Abasiyah chest hospital and his/her condition is stable, he added.
The second case appeared in Menuf in Delta governorate of Menufiyah, the Spokesman said. Nora Abul-Abbas Mohamed, 22, was admitted to the fever hospital in the city on Wednesday, he said.
She is suffering from high temperature and problems in breathing. Now Nora is also being treated in Abasiyah chest hospital and her condition is stable, he added.

Yeah, but according to her brother, she didn't wait to get treated. She went to one doctor who diagnosed bronchitis, and then when she didn't get better, she went to another doctor on the 21st. It was that doctor who sent her to Beni Suef hospital. According to her brother, hospital admission or transfer wasn't even on the 23rd. She was already in hospital then -- since the 21st. ??:
