This is not good. One imagines that the chaos in Egypt does not lend itself to timely and accurate reporting of cases. It is unclear from the different reports whether his treatment for the bodily injuries and the discovery of his infection were on the same day, but one report suggests these events were two weeks apart and that he was admitted for the injuries the same day as the death of his sister. It would be good to know more.
