Six sick Egyptians test negative for bird flu-WHO
Sun 11 Feb 2007 16:07:23 GMT

CAIRO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Six Egyptians who were suspected of having the deadly bird flu virus after displaying flu-like symptoms have tested negative for the disease, a World Health Organisation official said on Sunday.

"They are all negative," said John Jabbour, a WHO official in Cairo.

State news agency MENA had reported on Saturday that six Egyptians near the town of Fayoum, where a 17-year-old girl died from bird flu last week, were suspected of having contracted the H5N1 virus. One was reported to be seriously ill.

Egypt has the largest known cluster of human bird flu cases outside of Asia. Some 20 people are known to have contracted the disease in Egypt since the virus first surfaced in Egyptian poultry a year ago. Twelve have died. In January, the World Health Organisation said two people who had died of bird flu in Egypt in December were found to have a strain of the virus which has shown moderate resistance to the frontline anti-viral Tamiflu.

Jabbour has said that strain has not re-appeared, and the version of the virus that killed the 17-year-old from Fayoum was not resistant to Tamiflu. But he said the girl was diagnosed too late for Tamiflu to reverse the course of the disease.

Six suspect cases cleared of human bird flu in Egypt
Sun Feb 11, 9:34 AM ET

CAIRO (AFP) - Six Egyptians suspected of contracting bird flu have tested negative for the deadly virus, the health ministry said, amid fears of a global surge in infections.

"The six suspected cases admitted to the hospital all tested negative for the H5N1 virus," ministry spokesman Abdel Rahman Shaheen told AFP Sunday.

The six, including a three-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman in critical condition, were from villages around the oasis town of Fayyum south of Cairo, the home of the last person to die from the virus in Egypt.

Shaheen said suspected cases have been fairly frequent in Egypt since the virus first appeared in March 2006.

"Out of 2,292 suspected cases, we have had 20 real cases and all the rest were negative," he said, adding that people hospitalized with flu-like symptoms who have regular contact with poultry are considered suspect cases.

Bird flu has claimed the lives of 12 people in Egypt, 11 of them women, making it the fifth most affected country in the world and the worst-hit outside Asia.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 160 people have now died from bird flu around the world. Experts fear the virus could cause a pandemic by mutating into a form that is transmissible between humans.

Most suspected cases are not officially reported. At least not anywhere that I've found.

Most of the sus cases we hear about around here are found via news reports -- and my impression (which could be wrong) is that the journalists are getting most of their info directly from the hospitals. Sometimes it's mentioned that some local gov't authority gave out some info about sus cases, but pretty rarely.

This last announcement about 6 sus cases coming from MENA (the gov't press agency) was actually quite unusual.

That number of 2,292 -- I wonder if that's true sus cases (i.e. people showing flu-like symptoms)? -- or just the total number of people who have been tested. The Egyptian gov't seems to be regularly testing folks without symptoms who are just in the area where there's a bf outbreak (lots of poultry farm workers have been tested, for instance). But, who knows -- maybe that figure really is people who have had symptoms. Yikes!

Maryinhawaii pointed me to the fact that there are two different reports of critically ill women from Al-Fayyum. (Hat-tip, Mary! Good catch!)

AFP reported on the 10th that there is a critically ill woman aged 24 from Al-Fayyum province. I thought that perhaps she was Fatah Abd Al-Salam (23):

CAIRO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Six Egyptians were being tested for bird flu in a town south of Cairo on Saturday after displaying flu-like symptoms, state news agency MENA reported.

They are from several villages near the town of Fayoum and range in age from three to 40, MENA said, adding that one of them, a 24-year-old female, was in critical condition.

I'm guessing that this 24 year-old is this person:

A subsequent report, though, does mention a critically ill 24 year old from Al Fayyum -- different name, different village:

So, it sounds like there are two critically ill women in their mid-20s from Al Fayyum governorate.

Updated list (previous list 02/09).

Egyptian woman dies of bird flu, child infected

16 Feb 2007 14:49:43 GMT

(Adds 5-year-old boy reported infected)

By Cynthia Johnston

CAIRO, Feb 16 (Reuters) - An Egyptian woman died of bird flu in a Cairo hospital and a boy, 5, became the 22nd Egyptian to test positive for the deadly disease, health officials said on Friday.

A World Health Organisation expert said a delay in reporting symptoms was largely behind the most recent deaths in Egypt. A mutated strain that killed three people in December is not suspected to have recurred, officials say.

The woman who died, 37-year-old Nadia Abdel Hafez, had been reported in a stable and improving condition after being transferred to a hospital in Cairo, but her condition later deteriorated.

"She died yesterday evening," said Amr Qandil, director of communicable diseases at the Egyptian Health Ministry.

The boy, 5-year-old Mohamed Ahmed Suleiman of Sharqiya province, was in a stable condition and being treated with Tamiflu. He tested positive for bird flu after developing a high fever on Wednesday, a health ministry statement said.

Egypt has the highest known cluster of human bird flu cases outside Asia, with 21 known human cases since the virus first surfaced in Egyptian poultry a year ago. Thirteen have died.

Abdel Hafez, who kept birds at her home, was admitted to hospital on Feb. 12 after coming into contact with infected poultry. She was from Fayoum, the same province where a 17-year-old girl died of bird flu earlier this month.

Most people infected in Egypt had been in contact with poultry kept at home. Bird flu initially caused panic across the country and did extensive damage to the poultry industry, although the sector has largely recovered.

John Jabbour, a WHO official in Cairo, said a delay in reporting symptoms was making bird flu more deadly in Egypt, where many people keep birds at home but are often reluctant to disclose that to health officials for fear of sanctions.

FATALITY RATE RISING

The fatality rate from bird flu this winter is significantly higher than it was between March and May 2006, before the country witnessed a 5-month warm-weather lull in human cases.

Just six died of 14 people who contracted bird flu in Egypt between March 2006 -- when the virus first surfaced in humans in the country -- and May when human cases briefly disappeared.

Eight Egyptians have contracted bird flu since the disease reappeared in humans in Egypt in October. Seven have died, including three with a mutation that made the disease "moderately" resistant to Tamiflu.

Jabbour said Abdel Hafez had noticed symptoms on Feb. 7 but did not enter hospital until five days later.

"They are not reporting very quickly. They are denying exposure," Jabbour told Reuters, saying that meant the start of treatment was dangerously delayed.

"This is what is creating this problem here, the fatal condition of the influenza virus in Egypt."

Officials have said the 17-year-old infected earlier this month also died largely because she did not get treatment early enough. She was initially treated for seasonal flu after her family denied she had come into contact with sick birds.

Neither of the two Fayoum cases were suspected to have been infected with a mutated strain of the H5N1 virus that killed three Egyptian members of one family in December. That mutation has not resurfaced.

Health experts fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into a form that passes easily from human to human, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions. The virus has killed 167 people worldwide since 2003, mainly in Asia.

A World Health Organization expert said a delay in reporting symptoms was largely behind the most recent deaths in Egypt. A mutated strain that killed three people in December is not suspected to have recurred, officials say.
The woman who died, 37-year-old Nadia Abdel Hafez, had been reported in a stable and improving condition after being transferred to a hospital in Cairo, but her condition later deteriorated.
"She died yesterday evening," said Amr Qandil, director of communicable diseases at the Egyptian Health Ministry.
The boy, 5-year-old Mohamed Ahmed Suleiman of Sharqiya province, was in a stable condition and being treated with Tamiflu. He tested positive for bird flu after developing a high fever on Wednesday, a health ministry statement said.
Egypt has the highest known cluster of human bird flu cases outside Asia, with 21 known human cases since the virus first surfaced in Egyptian poultry a year ago. Thirteen have died.
Abdel Hafez, who kept birds at her home, was admitted to hospital on February 12 after coming into contact with infected poultry. She was from Fayoum, the same province where a 17-year-old girl died of bird flu earlier this month.
Most people infected in Egypt had been in contact with poultry kept at home. Bird flu initially caused panic across the country and did extensive damage to the poultry industry, although the sector has largely recovered.
John Jabbour, a WHO official in Cairo, said a delay in reporting symptoms was making bird flu more deadly in Egypt, where many people keep birds at home but are often reluctant to disclose that to health officials for fear of sanctions.
FATALITY RATE RISING
The fatality rate from bird flu this winter is significantly higher than it was between March and May 2006, before the country witnessed a 5-month warm-weather lull in human cases.
Just six died of 14 people who contracted bird flu in Egypt between March 2006 -- when the virus first surfaced in humans in the country -- and May when human cases briefly disappeared.
Eight Egyptians have contracted bird flu since the disease reappeared in humans in Egypt in October. Seven have died, including three with a mutation that made the disease "moderately" resistant to Tamiflu.
Jabbour said Abdel Hafez had noticed symptoms on February 7 but did not enter hospital until five days later.
"They are not reporting very quickly. They are denying exposure," Jabbour told Reuters, saying that meant the start of treatment was dangerously delayed.
"This is what is creating this problem here, the fatal condition of the influenza virus in Egypt."
Officials have said the 17-year-old infected earlier this month also died largely because she did not get treatment early enough. She was initially treated for seasonal flu after her family denied she had come into contact with sick birds.
Neither of the two Fayoum cases were suspected to have been infected with a mutated strain of the H5N1 virus that killed three Egyptian members of one family in December. That mutation has not resurfaced.
Health experts fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into a form that passes easily from human to human, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions. The virus has killed 167 people worldwide since 2003, mainly in Asia.
