          Egyptian girl contracts bird flu -- MENA agency report
          ------------------------------------------------------
          An 18-month-old Egyptian girl has contracted bird flu and is in
          stable condition, the state-run news agency quoted the Egyptian
          Health Ministry as saying on Tuesday [10 Mar 2009].

          The Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported that the child, from the
          [Menoufia] province in northern Egypt, showed symptoms after coming
          into contact with dead birds.

          She is the 58th case of bird flu in Egypt. She was given the
          antiviral drug Tamiflu at an Egyptian hospital, MENA said. It was not
          yet known if she had the H5N1 virus.

          Egypt is one of the few countries affected by bird flu that does not
          compensate farmers when poultry is destroyed, though many experts say
          this 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 at least 410
          people in 15 countries and killed at least 254 of them. It has killed
          or forced the culling of more than 300 million birds in 61 countries
          in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

              IRIN Middle East. EGYPT: Bird flu cases among young children raise concerns.
              EGYPT: Bird flu cases among young children raise concerns

              CAIRO, 12 March 2009 (IRIN) -

              An 18-month-old child contracted the H5N1 bird flu virus on 10 March, bringing the number of human cases in Egypt to 58 since records began in 2006, and prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to ask for a study to be undertaken of the causes.


              The child - from Manoufiya Province in northern Egypt - is one of several recent cases of young children to have contracted the deadly virus in a country where over five million families raise poultry for a living.

              Egyptian Health Ministry spokesman Abdel Rahman Shahin told IRIN the girl exhibited symptoms of infection on 6 March after reported contact with infected birds. She was taken to hospital on 9 March and given the antiviral vaccine Tamiflu.

              "Her case has stabilised but she will remain at the hospital for further check-ups," Shahin said.

              The child?s case is the latest in a rapidly growing number of cases of child infection in Egypt, causing concern among WHO officials.

              On 4 March, a two-year-old boy from the coastal city of Alexandria (220km from Cairo) contracted the virus. The boy is being treated with Tamiflu.

              Another two-year-old boy from Fayum, 85km southwest of Cairo, was infected by the virus on 1 March, Nasr al-Sayyid, the assistant health minister, said.

              According to the Egyptian Ministry of Health, five cases of bird flu have been registered in 2009; 23 people have died from the virus since records began in 2006.

              The rapid growth rate of bird flu infections in children is worrying, said John Jabbour, senior epidemiologist with WHO, which is asking the Health Ministry to investigate why so many children aged 2-3 are being infected.

              Jabbour speculated that the reason for the increased number of cases in this age group was that families were no longer as alert as immediately after the last awareness campaign.

              He warned that families with poultry must be on their guard at all times, given UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warnings that the H5N1 strain was endemic in poultry.

              "This is a problem that will not go away in poultry, hence people who deal with birds cannot afford to relax. Those who come in contact with birds must make caution part of their daily routine," he said.

              Changing the mindset
              Jabbour said social behaviour and attitudes also played a vital role in tackling bird flu. "We are not just fighting bird flu only; we are also trying to change the mentality which says reporting a case of bird flu infection in poultry will destroy income," he said.

              Assistant Health Minister Sayyed said poultry keepers were often reluctant to report suspected cases for fear that health officials would cull not only their birds but those of neighbouring families.

              Egypt does not run a compensation scheme for farmers who lose poultry in a cull.

              According to the latest WHO statistics, some 410 people in 15 countries and regions have contracted the virus and 256 of them have died of the disease.

              While H5N1 rarely infects people, experts fear it could mutate into a form that could easily be passed from one person to another, leading to a pandemic which could kill millions.

                      اعلن مستشار وزارة الصحة لعلاجانفلونزا الطيور نجاحه فى علاج عدد كبير من الحالات المصابة فى مستشفى منشية البكرى فيما دعا االاسر المصرية بسرعة ابلاغ الاباء عن الحالة وذكر الحقيقة عن تربية الطيور فى المنزل وتعرضها للنفوق .

                      وقال الدكتور ناصرقلقيلة استشارى امراض الاطفال فى برنامج صباح الخير يا مصر بالتليفزيون المصرى الاحد انه استخدم علاج اضافى فوق التيمى فلو الذى اجازته منظمة الصحة العالمية باضافة الاجسام المضادة المسماة " IGG المستخلصة من بلازما اكثر من عشرين الف متبرع بالدم

                      وناشد ناصر قلقلية الاستمرار فى التبرع بالدم من المتطوعين لاستخلاص الاجسام المضادة المذكورة من البلازما حيث نجح فى علاج 27 طفل من مجموع المصابين من الاطفال وعددهم 29

                      واضاف قلقيلة ان فيروس مرض انفلونزا الطيور يتسبب عادة فى تدمير انوية خلايا الحويصلات الهوائية فى الرئة مما يسبب تدمير الجهاز التنفسى فقامت نظريته على مقاومة هذا التدميربالاجسام المضادة IGG والتى ثبت مقاومتها لعدد من الفيروسات سابقا ومنع ما يسميه الاطباء العاصفة المناعية التى تطلقها خلايا الجسم للدفاع ضد الفيروس حيث ثبت انها يمكن ان تكون هى المسببة لتدمير انوية الخلايا .

                      وقال ان هذا العلاج الاضافى الذى اثبت فاعليته على الاطفال اقل من 12 عاما يكون اكثر فاعلية فى المراحل الاولى من الاصابة وضرب مثلا بحالة الطفل محمود من السويس حيث ابلغت والدته قبل ظهور اعراض المرض عليه بعد ملاحظتها انخفاض فى نشاطه وشهيته واكدت نفوق الدجاج التى كانت تربيه فتلقى العلاج فى بداية ارتفاع درجة الحرارة وقبل اصابة الرئتين .

                          Egyptian woman tests positive for bird flu

                          CAIRO, March 19 (RIA Novosti) -

                          A 38-year-old woman in Egypt has been diagnosed with bird flu, bringing the country's official total number of cases to 59, a spokesman for the country's health ministry said on Thursday.


                          The woman from the Asyut province, to the south of Cairo, was hospitalized with a high temperature and bad cough on Saturday. She is believed to have contracted the virus after coming into contact with dead poultry.

                          Last week, an 18-month-old girl in northern Egypt's Manoufiya province was also diagnosed with bird flu.

                          Egyptian officials said that 23 deaths from bird flu have been recorded in the country since 2006.

                          As of March 11, a total of 411 bird flu cases had been registered worldwide since the virus was first detected in 2003, resulting in 256 deaths, according to the WHO.

                          Although there have been no incidences of human-to-human infection, experts fear that the bird flu virus may mutate into a form that could be easily transmitted from person to person, causing a global pandemic.
