Havana - The Cuban Public
Health Ministry on Wednesday has confirmed
the fourth Influenza A(H1N1) case on the
island nation, Granma newspaper reported.
According to the daily, a 14-month-old
Canadian child who arrived in Cuba from
Toronto with his parents "had fever and
respiratory symptoms," in the days following
his arrival.
After he was admitted to a specialized
center and treated with targeted antiviral
therapy, the child was recovering
"satisfactorily", the official release said.
Epidemiological surveillance measures have
been applied to the child's relatives and
people who came in contact with him, it
added.
The Health Ministry said it was maintaining
increased surveillance measures, including
international health controls at airports,
ports and marinas.
Regarding the three other cases of influenza
A(H1N1) confirmed in Cuba, the ministry said
the three Mexican students have had a
satisfactory clinical outcome and were
discharged in a timely manner.
Their school in the western province of
Matanzas had suspended isolation measures
because there were no new reports of cases
with respiratory symptoms, it added.
