Hanan Aboul Magd, 39, has been in hospital since October 4 and has been treated with the drug Tamiflu. Her condition was stable, state news agency MENA reported.
Egypt has had the largest cluster of human bird flu cases outside Asia, and the fresh case came a month after authorities found a number of new cases in birds following a two-month lull in detected poultry cases. The new infection brings the number of human cases in Egypt to 15, of whom six have died.
All the previous infections were detected between March and May after the virus first surfaced in Egyptian poultry in February.
