The strips are used with Bayer's Contour TS blood glucose metre and they were found to give falsely high readings of up to 17%. It is possible expatriates from the likes of the US, Turkey and India may have acquired the strips.

        An Egyptian woman has died from the bird flu, the 16th person to get the virus in Egypt, the health ministry said on Wednesday, reported AFP. Oula Yunes Ali, 25, died on Tuesday after being admitted to hospital on Friday with a high fever, ministry spokesman Abdel Rahmane Shahin said in a statement carried by the official MENA news agency. Egypt and Indonesia remained high-risk because of the permanent contact that many people in both nations have with domesticated birds.
