First Case of H1N1 Virus in Panama
Panama - Panamanian health
authorities confirmed on Friday the first
case of A/H1N1 flu after screening
nearly three dozen people who had the
symptoms of the disease.
Health Minister Rosario Turner said that
they decided to inform about the first
person infected with the virus after the
analysis of samples at the Gorgas
Commemorative Institute.
It is a young patient who arrived in a
flight from the United States. He has been
isolated at home and he and his family
started the relevant treatment.
Turner said 5,000 doses of the drug
contributed by the World Health Organization
(WHO) and the Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO) to fight this strain of
the flu have been distributed, with careful
watch and preventive measures implemented in
ports, airports and border crossings. |
