Singapore confirms first Influenza A H1N1 case





Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A H1N1.

In a statement, the Health Ministry said the patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and is in stable condition.

The patient is a 22 year-old Singaporean female who was in New York from May 14 to 24.

She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on May 26th.

She had begun to develop a cough while onboard the aircraft.

The patient passed the thermal scanner uneventfully as she did not yet have a fever at the time.

Later that morning, she consulted a GP who decided to send her to TTSH via a 993 ambulance, given her travel history.

She was immediately admitted for testing.

Laboratory confirmation of her infection was made by midnight of May 26th.

The MOH says the patient has been vigilant in monitoring her own condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realized that she was unwell.

Her attending GP had also helped to minimize the spread of infection from this case.

The MOH has initiated contact tracing of her close contacts.

They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral treatments.

Passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 are urged to call the MOH hotline at 1800- 333 9999 to enable health authorities to check on their health condition.
