Egypt: H5N1 avian influenza family cluster reported by WHO
H5N1 avian influenza (AI) has really made it’s presence known in Egypt in the past month or so as the World Health Organization (WHO) reports 18 new laboratory-confirmed human cases of
avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection since Dec. 4, according to their latest Summary and Assessment published last week.

This is the highest number of laboratory-confirmed human cases of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection reported by Egypt in a single month, the WHO states.
UN health officials say the cases have been reported from eight different governorates of Egypt.
Of interest is the report of a family cluster in Giza governorate. The cluster includes two confirmed cases in siblings from Giza and one probable case in the siblings’ mother who died from acute respiratory syndrome but was not tested for the avian influenza A(H5N1) virus. The investigation of this cluster is ongoing.
