Hong Kong - Two patients infected with swine flu were in critical condition Friday in a Hong Kong hospital, health officials in the densely populated city said.
A 21-year-old woman was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus after travelling to Hong Kong from mainland China, a spokeswoman for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital confirmed.
A 2-year-old girl was Friday also in intensive care after being diagnosed with swine flu on Tuesday, the spokeswoman said. The details of how the two patients contracted the virus were not known.
Six Hong Kong residents died in the first modern case of human bird flu in 1997, and another 299 died and around 1,800 were infected in the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
