Possible mix of two (Bird and Swine) flu virus'
A sample taken from a 28 year-old man who arrived at the port of Safaga from Saudi Arabia after performing Umrah [pilgrimage] has tested positive for [both] bird and swine flu [that is, presumably avian
influenza (H5N1) virus and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infections]. He was immediately detained and held in isolation in a hospital in Hurghada. Mohammad Rifai, director-general of preventative medicine, stated that this case is the 3rd in 2 days. [The other 2 are a 35-year-old Italian tourist also retained at the hospital in Hurghada and] another pilgrim, 30 years old, who has been detained in Safaga Central
Hospital. Rifai pointed out that a sample from a 38-year-old citizen has tested negative.
