Two Russian citizens diagnosed with A/H1N1 flu have recovered, the Interfax news agency reported, citing the country's chief public health official.

"They have recovered. Their illness is history," Gennady Onishchenko said late Wednesday.

Doctors said families of the patients were not infected by the virus, the report said.

Russia confirmed its first two cases of A/H1N1 flu last week after a man who came to Moscow from New York and another man who returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic tested positive for the flu virus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said some 13,398 A/H1N1 flu infections have been recorded across 48 countries since it was first uncovered last month.
