A 30-year-old woman died of the H5N1 bird flu strain on Monday, Egypt's second human death from the virus since it appeared in the country last month, the health ministry announced. Czech authorities said they suspected their first case of H5N1 in a dead swan.
Fatma Mahmoud Youssef Sabra came from a village just north of Cairo, near Egypt's other human bird flu death, said Abdel-Rahman Shahin of the health ministry.
