Aussie suspected of H1N1 flu awaits test results

Hospital director Sardikin Giriputro said doctors were intensively examining the Australian national, and were awaiting final test results that would make a clear diagnosis possible.

"When there's a patient whose diagnosis shows symptoms of suspected swine flu, the *final* diagnosis is formed comprehensively. We have to be sure first. As yet there is nothing to be worried about," Sardikin was quoted as saying in beritajakarta.com.

The 53-year-old man suffered from a high fever when he entered the hospital on May 5. A hospital official reportedly said the man was transferred from a clinic in South Jakarta. Tien Rahma, who works at the hospital, said the man was a tourist who arrived in Indonesia from Singapore. - JP
