The 30-year-0ld woman was reported in a state newspaper to have died in a hospital in the southern city of Assiut, according to Reuters, just a day after a 19-year-old woman had died in the same city. Seven cases of the virus, including three deaths, have been identified in Egypt this year. H5N1 doesn’t appear to transmit efficiently between human beings, the World Health Organization says, and Egypt’s cases have largely revolved around rural areas where villages slaughter or keep poultry. \[[_Reuters_](http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2014/11/19/world/middleeast/19reuters-health-birdflu-egypt.html)\] H5N1: Egypt Sees Second Bird Flu Death in Two Days ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/"},"headline":"Egypt Sees Second Bird Flu Death in Two Days","datePublished":"2014-11-19T13:19:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:32:11.971Z","description":"30-year-old woman had contact with infected birds","url":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/","keywords":["Infectious Disease","Death","Egypt","World Health Organization","Bird Flu"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbc372dd6a46b86cc/6987697b428a9e5a50cc5741/egypt-bird-flu.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Health","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbc372dd6a46b86cc/6987697b428a9e5a50cc5741/egypt-bird-flu.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Poultry market in Egypt","caption":"A poultry merchant feeds a pigeon from her mouth in a popular market in Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 19 2014.","creditText":"Khaled Elfiqi—EPA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/health/","name":"Health"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/infectious-disease/","name":"Infectious Disease"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/","name":"Egypt Sees Second Bird Flu Death in Two Days"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Flu Shot Is Not Like the Others","description":"Some people may get a new flu shot that’s made with dog cells instead of chicken eggs","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/1thSi60s/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-10-30T14:53:23.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/1thSi60s.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/","duration":"PT2M9S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3594402/egypt-bird-flu-h5n1/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
