Egypt reports 2nd bird flu case in four days
08 Feb 2009 16:26:24 GMT
Source: Reuters

CAIRO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - An Egyptian boy has contracted the bird flu virus, the state-run news agency quoted the Health Ministry saying on Sunday, in the second such case in the last week and the 55th case since the virus reached Egypt in 2006.
The eighteen-month-old boy -- Abu al-Wafa Suleiman Abu Omar, from the province of Minia in central Egypt -- first showed symptoms on Friday after coming into contact with dead birds and was admitted to hospital on Saturday.
He was administered the antiviral drug Tamiflu and is now in a stable condition, the health ministry said.
On Wednesday, the ministry reported a two-year-old boy in the Suez province was in hospital after contracting the virus.
Egypt is one of the only countries affected by bird flu that does not offer compensation for farmers when poultry is destroyed, which many experts say is the best way to ensure rapid detection of new outbreaks.
Some 5 million Egyptian households depend on poultry as a main source of food and income.
Since 2003, the virus has infected 404 people in 15 countries and killed 254 of them. It has killed or forced the destruction of more than 300 million birds. Egypt has had the most cases outside of Asia. (Writing by Alastair Sharp)

"the status of a bell" is a literal translation of "Maghagha District" in Al Minya Governorate.

Quote:

Mohamed Abdul Ouaad «40 years» of al-Taha Yassin, a bell {Maghagha}, and El-Hamid Huwaida «18 years» from the village of Saft Obogerj, referring to the pending the outcome of analysis.

These two suspected individuals seem to be from the same general area as the confirmed 1.5 year old baby boy. The three siblings and parents of the child are not exhibiting flu symptoms.

Two-year-old boy becomes Egypt's 56th bird flu case

CAIRO, March 1 (Reuters) - A two-year-old Egyptian boy has contracted the bird flu virus and is in critical condition, the state-run news agency quoted the Health Ministry as saying on Sunday, becoming the 56th case in the Arab country. The Middle East News Agency (MENA) quoted Assistant Health Minister Nasr el-Sayyed as saying the boy, Youssef Abdel-Azim from the province of el-Fayoum in central Egypt, showed symptoms on Wednesday after coming into contact with dead birds. He was administered the antiviral drug Tamiflu and remains in crticial condition on an artificial ventilator at a hospital in Cairo, Sayyed said, according to the agency.

Egypt is one of the only countries affected by bird flu that does not offer compensation for farmers when poultry is destroyed, which many experts say is the best way to ensure rapid detection of new outbreaks. Some 5 million Egyptian households depend on poultry as a main source of food and income. Since 2003, the H5N1 avian influenza virus has infected 408 people in 15 countries and killed 254 of them. It has killed or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds as it spread to 61 countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. While H5N1 rarely infects people, experts fear it could mutate into a form that people could easily pass to one another, sparking a pandemic that could kill tens of millions and topple the global economy.

If he started showing symptoms on Wednesday, he has been placed on a ventilator very early in his illness. Ominous on several levels.
