Twall - Thanks.

From what I can ascertain this looks like they are reporting some kind of cold virus that is spreading among children.

There are 30 - 40 hospitalized (detained), with an overall 200+ ill, yes?

In the early part of 2009, most of the individuals infected with H5N1 in Egypt were young children, most of whom survived. Although Al Fayyoum Governorate has had several human H5N1 cases in the past, I don't believe any have been reported this year from this governorate.

One important point about the children with H5N1 in 2009, they were isolated cases with no real evidence of H2H transmission. Whatever is affecting these children seem to be transmissible.

Yes, as I remember there were corresponding H5N1 outbreaks in most cases with many families keeping several chickens in the household, like rooftops, for instance.

Echovirus, Adenovirus, Coronavirus are also readily transmissible in overcrowded settings and among children.

No final conclusion unless more details will be available.

General Supervisor of the hospital: 50 children receive every day .. and the Director of Preventive Medicine News feigned

كتبت – رشا حبيشى:

I wrote - Rasha Habaycy:

Surprised health officials in Fayoum spread of viral disease unknown flu-like, the source said the health of Fayoum the virus hit by dozens of children and pupils in schools has been transferred to the General Hospital in Fayoum and hospital health insurance in Fayoum, pointing out that children are not cured despite eating the necessary treatment, said Dr. Zine El Abidine Supervisor on hospitals that the virus is new, no one knows and one that affects children and hospitals receive a daily basis more than 50 children, and told the Ministry of Health was declared a state of emergency hospital Fayoum, pointing out that the total living with the disease reached 200 children so far.

He said Dr Zainal Abidin, the hospital Fayoum General is now held 51 cases of children infected with HIV, while holding hospital health insurance in Fayoum more than 40 cases, in addition to the central hospital centers the province, and hospital health insurance Fayoum began yesterday to transform children infected with HIV to Fayoum General Hospital, due to lack of space it ..

من جانبه نفى الدكتور نصر السيد، مساعد وزير الصحة للطب الوقائي إصابة 200 طفل بمحافظة الفيوم، بمرض فيروسي مجهول.

For his part, denied Dr. Nasr El Sayed, Assistant Minister of Health for Preventive Medicine, 200 children were injured in Fayoum Governorate, a viral disease is unknown.

مشيرا إلى أن الخبر مختلق، وليس له أي أساس من الصحة، ولا يوجد أطفال بمستشفيات وزارة الصحة مصابين بأي أعراض غريبة

Pointing out that story fabricated, and has no basis in truth, there is no children's hospitals and the Ministry of Health of any people with odd symptoms
