XINHUA (China): An Egyptian woman died of bird flu on Sunday, raising Egypt's human deaths of bird flu to eight since this March, a World Health Organization (WHO) official told Xinhua.
The 30-year-old woman, who was admitted to Cairo's Abbasiya fever hospital on Saturday, was tested H5N1 positive just hours before her death, said WHO regional adviser for communicable diseases surveillance Hassan el-Bushra.
The woman had been in rural hospital since Dec. 17, but was not immediately suspected of being infected with bird flu as she denied having had contact with poultry, el-Bushra noted. The woman's two other family members from the Egyptian Delta governorate of Gharbiya, some 90 km north of Cairo, who were also confirmed infection with the H5N1 virus on Saturday, are in stable conditions after they were admitted to Cairo's Abbasiya fever hospital, he added.

You can bet they'd blame the Jews for it.
