CAIRO, March 14 (Reuters) - A ten-year-old Egyptian girl has tested positive for bird flu, becoming the 25th human case in the most populous Arab country, a World Health Organisation official said on Wednesday.

"It occurred inside Aswan, in an urban area, and we don't have much details at this point in time," said Hassan al-Bushra, regional adviser for communicable disease surveillance for the World Health Organisation.

Bushra added that the girl will be transferred to Cairo for treatment.
