A chief cardiac physician in Northern Jutland has been diagnosed with H1N1 influenza as the first hospital worker in Denmark to have been known to contract the illness.
All patients, relatives and employees at the Sygehus Vendsyssel hospital in Frederikshavn who have visited the cardiac outpatients clinic or medicinal department last Monday or Tuesday have been advised they should be aware of symptoms, that should be apparent by today (July 28). Symptoms of H1N1 show themselves at the latest a week after a person has been exposed to infection.
?I came back off holiday last Monday with a slight cough which I didn?t associate with influenza. As I felt bad on Wednesday I chose to call in sick,? the doctor says in a news release from the North Jutland Hospital Authority, adding the doctor chose to be tested for H1N1 and tested positive.
The doctor says he has no idea where he contracted the illness as he has not been out travelling and has not been in contact with others who have tested positive for H1N1.
