I was trying to tie these new cases to the other suspect cases mentioned when the confirmed cases were announced.

I seems that there should be some results from the patients admitted several days ago.

From the translations so far, the villages don't sound the same -- but it's too early to tell yet, I think.

Additional H5N1 Suspect Cases in Northern Egypt
Recombinomics Commentary
December 26, 2006

Pathological cases suspected of being infected with a new avian influenza in Beni Suef and Western [Al Gharbiyah]. Doctors at the hospital were surprised pathogenesis of Beni Suef appearance of the symptoms of the disease known Hoda Abdel-Hamid of the village of Blvia Amal Mohammad Omar from the village of Riyadh Pasha was accorded some medicines and drugs.

This brings the number of suspected cases of avian influenza in the bee Bank to 7 cases including 4 in the pathogenesis of hospital Mahala and 3 Hospital pathogenesis of Tanta.

The above translation describes four new suspect bird flu cases in two Egyptian governates, increase the total to seven. These cases are in addition to the four confirmed cases in Egypt this season. All four were withing 15 miles of Tanta, the capital of Gharbiyah, which is were three of the seven suspect cases are hospitalized.

These additional hospitalizations increase concerns. Three of the first four confirmed patients have died and the sequence of HA from the first case had acquired a number of polymorphisms found in other Qinghai isolates in the area. In addition, the first sequence has M230I, which is found in all three human influenza strains, H1N1, H3N2, and influenza B.

Additional information on these new suspect cases would be useful.

Sounds from this article that there are 7 suspected cases from Al Gharbiyah and Ash Sharqiyah governorates. An earlier article mentioned Bani Suwayf governorate ... so that sounds as though there may be 3 governorates with suspected cases. Not 100% sure, yet, though.

The 3 new suspected cases from Al Gharbiyah are not from the same village as the family with the 3 confirmed cases/deaths -- don't know how near or far away they are, though.

There are also 2 suspected cases from Mahala -- don't know where that is (also Al Gharbiyah governorate?). And, there are 2 suspected cases (a mother and daughter) from in/around Zagazig in Ash Sharqiyah governorate.

4-ABBA asks: How many different towns in Egypt have current cases?

Good question. I haven't sorted that out (yet). Anybody have any idea?

Edit: Just a note -- the 3 current confirmed cases (all of whom have now died) are from one village/town. The remainder are suspected cases awaiting test results.

Actually, there are four confirmed cases and all have died. The first case was hospitalized Sept 30 and died Oct 30, but she (39F) was from Samanoud, which is adjacent to the Nile River and about 12 miles north of Hanut Kafr wich is the location of the 3 family members. They are just north of Zitfa (pop 94K). Hanut Kafr is 15 miles east of Tanta (pop 408K and capital of Al Ghabiyah). There are 5 suspect cases in Tanta from 4 villages.

There are two suspect cases from Sanamoud, which is location of first case. Sanamud is just a few mles east of Mahalla el Kubra (pop 434K - largest city in Al Ghabiyah). It is just 15 miles north of Tanta and has four suspect patients from three villages (including the two suspect cases from Sanamoud).

There are also two patients in Zigazig (pop 287K) which is about 35 miles southeast of Tanta.

Thus, there are 4 confirmed (and fatal) cases and 11 suspect cases. 9 of the suspect cases are with a 15 mile radius from Tanta (or within 15 miles of the four confirmed cases). The other two are within a 35 mile radius of Tanta (or within a 20 mile radius of the three family members).

Dr. Niman,

Well, isn't this just creepy! Creepier than Indonesia's slow simmer. If these suspected cases are confirmed, could this be a case of B2H made easier by all the dangerous polymorphisms that you have been describing in your updates? It's hard to imagine that these particular individuals in various villages have been directly infecting each other despite the relative closeness of the villages. Is this a mild first wave where there are a number of geographically-dispersed cases all around Tantra that have escaped official confirmation? Can you suggest how this type of geographic dispersion could have occurred?

All of these cases are in the Nile Delta which is frequented by migratory birds. US NAMRU recently published H5 sequences from teal in the Nile Delta in December, 2005. One was Qinghai and the other has low path H5.

The birds migrating through Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have Qinghai H5N1 and they recombine with local birds that are infected. The recent sequence (from the October fatal case) had the "Qinghai Egyptian" markers, but had new acquisitions from other Qinghai isolates.

Ths "new" version had M230I, which is a clear concern. US NAMRU has at least 2 positives from the family of three and I would expect the sequences to be public in the next week or two. So far the "new" version has killed all confirmed cases and the cluster of 3 is the largest reported to date in Egypt, so transmission to humans appears to have become more efficient.

Ok. Here's a map of the villages where I *think* all of the latest confirmed & suspected cases from Al Gharbiyah and Ash Sharqiyah come from. Note that there are also two suspected cases reported from Bani Suwayf governorate which is ca. 100 km south of Cairo.

CONFIRMED CASES:

The 3 confirmed, deceased Farid family members were from Kafr Hanut >>
http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...ut/map/2663477

Hanan Aboul Magd (39F), d. Oct 30 -- from Samannud

As Dr. Niman pointed out, Kafr Hanut and Samannud both lie right on a branch of the Nile and are ca. 12 miles apart from each other.

SUSPECTED CASES:

Tanta Fevers Hospital:
(1) Nura Saleh Abdul Moneim (25F) - housewife from Sbtas village in Tanta district
Sibtas? >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...as/map/2471874

(2) Moselhi Ismail's hopes (28F) - homemaker (Shubra Waqqas, Al-Santa)

(3) Hanem Ahmed Fattouh the sponsor (51F) - homemaker from Shubra Waqqas, in Al-Santa district
Didn't find 'Shubra Waqqas' but marked Al-Santa/As-Santah on the map >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...ah/map/5932475

Al Mahallah Fevers Hospital:
(4) Souna Mohamed Al Nagar [Suna Mohammad Najjar] (55?) - from village "Saft the dust" ("Soft soil")
Saft Turab? >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...ab/map/2762063

(5) the release of Mr. Mohamed (52?) - from a village a span Babylon (Shubra Babylon)
Shubra Babil? >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...il/map/2625286

(10) Sabah Ibrahim Al Fakharani from a village by us Abu Seer belonging to Samanoud center

(11) child Mohamed Farahat the head from the same village
Abu Sir Bana? >> http://www.travelpost.com/AF/Egypt/A...na/map/2496728

Zagazig Fevers Hospital:
in the eastern [Ash Sharqiyah governorate] about
(6) Amal Hassan Fawzi's transfer from the region of "the triumphant station" [Mansoura She] in Zagazig

(7) its daughter "Fathiya Said" to the hospital of Zagazig fevers.
Not sure where "Mansoura She" is, but indicated Zagazig on the map.

[Sharpe]

So there we have it, at this point:
four confirmed patients (all dead) and 11 suspected patients (the ones that Theresa mentions below plus two she didn't mention--in Beni Suef--mentioned earlier:

• Hoda Abdel-Hamid of the village of Blvia Amal

• Mohammad Omar from the village of Riyadh Pasha

Note that Hoda Abdel-Hamid has the same surname as the confirmed family.

Total: 15 patients--4 confirmed, 11 suspected.

[Theresa42]

Ah. Surnames in Egypt. Now there's a tricky one, 'cause Egyptians don't actually have surnames! Not usually, anyway.

Egyptian naming is interesting. You don't get a family surname -- you get a given name (eg. Theresa) -- and then you tack on the (first) name of your father and the (first) name of your grandfather (so, in Egypt I would be Theresa Thomas Thomas!):

... in Egypt ... there is no such thing as a surname. In Egypt you simply list your forename, followed by your father's forename and then your grandfather's forename. Some families then add a surname, but this is optional. Most people are known simply by their forename followed by their father's forename ....

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/744/li1.htm

So, the person in Beni Suef with the names "Abdel-Hamid" is unlikely to be related to the family in Al Gharbiyah.

Also, the family in Al Gharbiyah with the 3 deaths has been referred in the Western press as the Farid family as if that's their surname, but that's probably not correct.

Finally -- if I am not mistaken -- women in the Arab/Muslim world often changed their name when they have a son to "So-and-so's mother" -- for instance, if a woman was to have a son named Reza, she would become "Reza's mother" or something like that. This may not apply to Egypt, though.

Thanks for summing up, Sharpe!
