(AP) ? BERLIN - German health officials say they have confirmed a sixth case of swine flu in the country.
The national Robert Koch Institute says a 38-year-old man from Bavaria contracted swine flu from another patient in the same hospital room who had been in Mexico.
He is the second person to have gotten the swine flu from the same patient after a 42-year-old nurse from the hospital also fell ill.
Joerg Hacker, president of the institute-which is Germany's top public health authority-says none of those infected in Germany are in serious danger and that all of the cases in Germany "have been relatively mild."
