HANOI, May 31 (Reuters) - A 23-year-old male student who returned to Vietnam from the United States has been confirmed as having the H1N1 influenza virus, the first case in the Southeast Asian country, a Vietnamese doctor said on Sunday. "The patient is still strong and he looks normal, but we can confirm that he is the first case of an H1N1 infection in Vietnam," the doctor from the Ho Chi Minh City-based Pasteur Institute said, citing lab test results.
