A woman died of the H5N1 strain of bird flu in northern Egypt on Monday, the country’s fourth fatality from the virus in less than a week, the World Health Organisation said.
John Jabbour, an Egypt-based official with the WHO, said this and all other recent cases were believed to have been caused by exposure to sick or dead back-yard birds.
