Croatia identified the first case of H1N1 flu virus in a patient who came from abroad last week and has already recovered, the health minister said on Monday.
“The patient showed mild flu symptoms and the test, the results of which we received today, confirmed the H1N1 virus,” Health Minister Darko Milinovic told reporters. “The patient underwent treatment at home and made a full recovery. He has already returned to work.”
He declined to give details of the patient but said no one in his family had shown flu symptoms.
“The deadline for incubation was yesterday. Therefore, there has been no transmission. And I want to stress that the patient took no medication, only tea, lemon and baths,” Milinovic said.
