Austria's first A/H1N1 flu patient has been discharged from hospital on Saturday after finding no more virus inside her body, local media reported.
The patient, a 28-year-old female, left the hospital Saturday afternoon, the report said.
According to the patient, she infected the A/H1N1 flu virus on a flight from Mexico to the United States last week as there were a large number of Mexicans onboard.
The girl was sent to hospital in Vienna after showing symptoms of flu. She was then tested positive of the A/H1N1 flu virus.

Wenisch added that the patient showed improvement since taking medicines for the second time.
