The first case of swine flu has been confirmed in the Irish Republic in a person who recently returned from Mexico, health experts confirmed.
The Chief Medical Officer said laboratory test results, previously reported as probable influenza A (H1N1), have now been confirmed. The patient, who has been taking anti-virus medication since he went to his GP with symptoms after returning from Mexico recently, remains quarantined in his home in the east of the country.
Dr Tony Holohan, of the Department of Health and Children, said the case was originally reported on April 30. He said: "All appropriate clinical and public health actions have been taken. The individual is recovering well."
