Egypt Reports New Bird Flu Fatality

 


# 4418

 

 

From Twall, who resides in Egypt and posts on FluTrackers, we get this media report of a new bird flu fatality out of Egypt (apparently case #105). 

 

There are also some indications there may be a case #106 as well.

 

These reports are just filtering in, and the details are scant, but here is what is being reported thus far:

 

The death of Case No. 32 of avian flu

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 - 17:02

Abdul Salam wrote Princess

Ministry of Health announced the death of a new case of avian flu this morning, Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 for the old lady (20 years) from the Cairo governorate following the coming into contact with dead birds suspected of being infected with the virus.


This brings the total number of deaths in Egypt 32 cases, as confirmed by the Ministry of Health in its official statement this morning since the emergence of the disease in 2006 so far.

 

 

In addition to this latest fatality, Twall reports that the Egyptian Ministry of Health has added two new H5N1 cases to their morning report. 

 

I don’t have link to that report, but here is a link to the FluTrackers thread.  Presumably we’ll get more information on this other case in the next day or two.
