This sus case's name is reported two different ways: Rizk [Abdel] Aziz (رزق عبد العزيز) and Rizk Ibrahim (رزق إبراهيم).

Either one (or both!) of the articles has the name wrong. Or perhaps the person's name is Rizk [Abel] Aziz Ibrahim ... or Rizk Ibrahim [Abdel] Aziz. ??

I don't believe it. This report <i>actually</i> appears on the government's bf website! The article from Ahram repeats word-for-word what the press release on the website says:

http://birdflu.sis.gov.eg/ahtml/aflu05135.htm

Don't know if there's anything to read into this (like, perhaps, these people are particularly sick/suspected?) -- or if this is a new policy -- or just some sort of accident.... ?? Haven't seen named sus cases -- or even unnamed sus cases -- on the bf website in quite a while.

Child in Aswan tests positive for bird flu

I don't know if this is new....

Child in Aswan tests positive for bird flu
Cairo - A two-year-old boy has tested positive for bird flu in the Egyptian province of Aswan, a Health Ministry source said on Monday.

http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=31&art_id=nw20070319105127100C944947

Last week, three children suspected of having bird flu were hospitalised in a fever hospital in Aswan.

Since the first outbreak of bird flu in Egypt in 2005, 13 of 25 people who contracted the illness have died.

After an initial panic, which saw many Egyptians get rid of their birds, people in rural areas have resumed raising poultry domestically to sell at public markets or as a source of cheap protein.

Previous cases of infection were caused by exposure to sick birds. If a person is infected the Egyptian health ministry usually monitors the other family members for signs of the disease.

Several weeks ago, the Egyptian government suspected that a mutated strain of the virus with "reduced susceptibility" to the Tamiflu vaccine had emerged.

Medical experts confirmed shortly afterwards that the virus had in fact not mutated to a new and more dangerous strain transmitted between humans. - Sapa-dpa

Re: EGYPT - March 16, 2007+ - News on confirmed/suspected cases

1) is this thread the default thread for Egypt cases - it would be useful if it is.

2) is there a graph of cases versus time, in Egypt , anywhere on this site?
