Honduras Confirms First AH1N1 Flu Case
Tegucigalpa - Honduras confirmed its first
case of the A/H1N1 influenza on Thursday.
The case was in a nine-year-old girl who
lives in a north town, San Pedro Sula, the
Honduran government said.
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, Health
Minister Carlos Aguilar and the girl's
parents confirmed the case at a press
conference, after receiving the testing
result from a laboratory in U.S. Atlanta.
The infected girl was diagnosed as possible
case on May 11 and was self-quarantined and
received treatment at home.
The girl's father Jonathan Cruz said he was
not clear where and how his daughter had
been infected.
He said the news was in some way worrying,
but "it can be controlled."
Meanwhile, the president said the health
ministry has 10,000 doses of antiviral
drugs, donated by the Pan American Health
Organization.
So far Honduras has dismissed 115 possible
cases.
