Yogyakarta’s Dr. Sardjito Hospital is treating two Japanese students who are allegedly infected by the H1N1 virus.
The two students, identified as M and KH, are both 21 years old and living in the province while studying at the School of Economics of Gadjah Mada University.
The hospital's spokesperson Heru Trisno Nugroho said on Thursday that M had been admitted in hospital on Tuesday while KH was treated a day later.
“Both have a high fever and flu symptoms,” Heru said.
He added his hospital had taken and sent mucus samples to a Health Ministry laboratory in Jakarta.
“We are expecting test results within two days,” he said.
Sumardi, head of the provincial's team for H1N1 and H5N1, said doctors had given the students tamiflu hence their health had been getting better.
“They still have a fever, but not as high as the day they arrived here,” Sumardi.
The hospital has so far examined 36 H1N1 suspects, three of whom are currently being treated. The hospital is also looking after a 29-year-old Baciro resident who is suspected of being infected with the
H1N1 virus.
