From Helen Branswell (CP_Branswell) on Twitter:
Egypt: 4 new cases of H5N1 aka #birdflu. Cases not linked, all had contact w/ poultry. Boy, their case count keeps on rising. #3 w/ a bullet
I don’t know her source—I can’t find anything in my usual Egyptian sources—but no doubt we’ll have details in the morning.
Update: WHO has published Update 27 on avian flu in Egypt, reporting the four new cases. All are said to be in stable condition.
WHO has also published its first cumulative tally of human H5N1 cases for 2010, including the Egyptian cases but reporting no new cases in Indonesia.
