He tested positive for A(H1N1)flu virus on Sunday, according to Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The patient is in stable and the people who had close contact to him have been quarantined, the bureau said.

Health authorities in east China's Fujian province report Monday two more confirmed cases, involving two Chinese children of American nationality.

One patient is a 6-year-old boy and the other is a 9-year-old girl. Both left New York with family members to Hong Kong on May 26 and took the Thailand flight KA660 from Hong Kong to Fuzhou, capital of Fujian on May 28, said the department.

The boy's family is in Jin'an District while the girl lives in Changle City of Fuzhou, the department said.

They both felt sick and went to hospital on Sunday where they tested positive to A(H1N1)flu virus on Sunday, according to Fujian Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They are also in stable condition, the department said.

Twelve people had had close contact to the two children and all had been quarantined. People in Fujian who had taken the same flight have been visited by doctors and are quarantined at home, the department said.

The department also said on Monday a man who was confirmed to have contacted A(H1N1)flu virus four days ago recovered and was discharged from a local hospital.

Xie Zhendong, 25, has had normal temperature for 106 hours. Other flu symptoms, such as having a running nose and coughing, have abated, qualifying Xie's clean bill of health in accordance with standards drafted by the Chinese Ministry of Health for discharging A(H1N1)flu patients from hospitals, said the department.

In addition, central China's Henan province reported Monday the first suspected A(H1N1)influenza case, which involved a 3.5-year-old girl of American nationality.

She took a flight from Las Vegas in the United States on May 28 to Seoul, stopping over at Los Angeles. Along with her were her mother, grandfather, grandmother and one of her mother's friends.

They boarded a KE809 flight from Seoul to Zhengzhou, capital city of Henan on May 29 and were driven home by her uncle.

On May 31, the patient was taken to a city hospital and measured at 39 degree Celsius. The girl was then put under quarantine.

Of the country's 36 confirmed A(H1N1)flu cases, six were in Fujian, a province on southeast China coast, and Xie was the second of the four. At present, only two patients are being treated for the swine flu in local hospitals in Fujian, according to Lin.

According to the World Health Organization, 53 countries had officially reported 15,510 cases of A(H1N1)infection, including 99 deaths, as of Friday.
