STOCKHOLM, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Swedish health officials on Wednesday confirmed the country's first case of A/H1N1 influenza in a woman who recently returned from the United States.
A woman in her 50s in the Stockholm area fell ill for three days with mild flu symptoms after returning from the United States. She quickly recovered without needing medical treatment, the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control (SMI) said in a statement.
The SMI said tests conducted by its virological laboratory confirmed she was infected with the A/H1N1 virus.
Stockholm's health authority said Sunday people who had been in close contact with her had been receiving antiviral treatment.
