(AP) ? ZAGREB, Croatia - Croatian health authorities say about 30 high school students were infected with swine flu while on a trip to Spain.

Ira Gjenero Margan, the head of the state-run Epidemiology Service, said Monday that samples of eight students were taken and seven have tested positive for swine flu. Others with the same symptoms are considered ill with the flu as well.

The head of the Sibenik hospital, Zeljko Buric, says the students were given antiviral medicine. Only one was kept in the hospital.

The group reported symptoms on Saturday after returning home to Sibenik, on the Croatian coast.

Gjenero Margan says the illnesses bring Croatia to 36 confirmed swine flu cases.
