Kudos to newshound Treyfish who just found, and posted on FluTrackers, a news report from Youm7 announcing two new H5N1 cases in Egypt.
The first case involves a 25 year-old woman who died on December 29th, from the Qena Governate, and the second regards a 27 year-old man from Ismailia who is in stable condition.
Assuming these cases are confirmed by the World Health Organization, and that no new cases from last year emerge, Egypt will have recorded 28 new H5N1 infections in 2010 and 12 new fatalities (42% fatality rate).
This represents a decrease in the total number of officially recognized cases (compared to 39 in 2009), but a significant increase in fatalities (there were just 4 in 2009).

Dr. Abdel Rahman Shahin, official spokesman of the Ministry of Health, that the team monitoring the epidemic, Ministry of Health discovered two cases of bird flu, the first old lady (25 years), from Qena Governorate, and died on 29 December last year, the second man from age (27 years), from Ismailia, which is under treatment at a hospital in Ismailia and stable condition.
This brings the number of cases to 118 cases and 39 cases the number of deaths since the onset of the disease in 2006 until now.
Since the beginning of 2009 Sharon Sanders of FluTrackers keeps an excellent listing of human H5N1 cases officially announced by the Egyptian MOH.
