Around the World: Egypt

5 more have H1N1 flu

Another four students and a faculty member at the American University in Cairo have contracted H1N1 flu, said Egypt's health minister, bringing the total number of those infected at the school to seven.

The five cases were discovered when tests were carried out at a dormitory after two students from the US were diagnosed with H1N1 flu, Hatem el-Gabali told reporters yesterday. He did not disclose the nationalities of the five new cases.
