Confirmed cases of AH1N1 influenza rose to 136 today, after Peru's Ministry of Health (Minsa)
announced 23 new cases, including 13 children.
According to the latest Minsa's official statement released, all the patients are under medical supervision and in isolation at their homes, receiving antiviral treatment and recovering nicely without further problems.
One of the patients is a 34-year old man from India, a worker in a Liberian ship currently in quarantine in Pisco bay (300km. South of Lima).
The rest of the crew is still isolated inside the mentioned ship, but not any other member has showed flu symptoms yet.
