EGYPT: Fourth suspected human case of avian flu stable, government says

The fourth suspected human case of bird flu is steadily recovering, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"He is in good shape," Ibrahim al-Kerdany, WHO spokesman said in Cairo. "He was given Tamiflu as soon as he arrived in hospital and his condition is steady."

Mohamed Mahmoud Abdel Ghani Ghobashi, 17, worked on a poultry farm owned by his father, and was exposed to infected birds, al-Kerdany added.

The Ministry of Health announced his condition on 21 March, bringing the total count of confirmed and suspected human infections in Egypt up to four in less than one week. Ghobashi's is the first case to occur in Gharbiya province, 50 km north of Cairo. Meanwhile, the condition of a third human case of avian influenza is stable, Ministry of Health officials said on Tuesday, and a speedy recovery is expected.

"She is in intensive care, but her condition is stable," ministry spokesman Abdel Rahman Shahine said. "We expect she will recover." Fatima Mohamed Yousef, 30, was hospitalised on 20 March, showing symptoms of the H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu. "Her condition was poor when she was hospitalised," Shahine said. "She should have been brought in earlier." She reportedly continued to work with chickens despite a ban imposed in mid-February. Her illness was announced on Monday by the country's health minister Hatem al-Gabali.
