Bird flu continues to spread in Egypt
Infection Control Monitor, December 29, 2006
Two more people have died as avian flu continues spreading to humans in Egypt. Health officials reported that several cases of bird flu have spread from poultry to humans in the Nile Delta.
Egypt has reported nine confirmed human deaths from H5N1 avian flu since it was found in birds in February and a person in March, reported the New York Times. A 15-year-old girl died Monday, Dec. 25, a day after the death of a woman in her 30s whose family members showed symptoms of infection, the newspaper reported.
Reports of bird flu tapered off over the summer, but reappeared in September in the Nile Delta, which is a stopover for migrating birds.
