Although it has yet to appear on the Egyptian Ministry of Health’s website, multiple medias sources across the Middle East are reporting on yet another H5N1 case in Minya – that of a 25 year old housewife. This comes on the heels of yesterday’s announcement from the Egyptian MOH: 4 New H5N1 Cases Reported.
After seeing only 4 cases during the first 10 months of the year in Egypt, over the past two weeks we’ve seen 8 cases reported.

I’ll update this post with a link to the MOH announcement, assuming they confirm this case.
