An NRI couple, who earlier arrived in Ahmedabad from Atlanta in the US, tested positive for swine flu on Saturday, the health officials in Gujarat said.
"The couple was admitted to the city civil hospital early this morning. They were tested for swine flu and the test results were positive," Health Secretary Ravi Saxena said.
The couple had come from the US on July 31 and developed symptoms of the disease from August 5, Saxena said adding that they initially went to a private hospital from where they were shifted to the civil hospital.
"The man, brought in critical condition to the hospital in the wee hours, was put on ventilator. His condition has improved now and the ventilator has been removed. He is stable," Saxena said.
Both have been put in an isolation ward, he added. With these two fresh cases, the number of confirmed swine flu cases in Gujarat has touched 10, official sources said.
About 43 patients were tested for suspected H1N1 virus in Gujarat out of which 10 cases are confirmed, they said adding results of three are still awaited.
