On Sunday (see Egypt Reports Bird Flu Fatality) we saw a terse report from KUNA announcing Egypt’s 113th H5N1 infection, and 37th fatality.
The patient was identified as a 30 year-old woman from the `western province’ which probably refers to Al-Gharbiyah (h/t Laidback Al).
Today newshounds on FluTrackers are following another report, this time of a 30 year-old male from Al Daqahliyah, that has reportedly died from the H5N1 virus.
We’ve only one Arabic news article at this time, and since Al-Gharbiyah and Al Daquahliyah are adjacent to each other, and both cases are listed as 30 years old, there is always the possibility that these cases are one-in-the-same.
Still, there are enough differences in these reports (including location, gender, and date of death) to make one suspect these may be two separate cases.
The report (h/t Twall) comes from Youm7, a normally reliable Arabic news source. The story references 5 others – presumably contacts of the fatal case – who are being tested for the virus.
