Colombia's health authorities on Thursday confirmed a new case of A/H1N1 flu, bringing the infection toll to 17 in the country.

The new case is a business agent, who traveled to the Mexican beach of Cancun and was infected a few days ago.

The patient is out of danger.

"Like in the cases confirmed before, the patient received treatment at home with volunteer isolation," the National Institute of Health said.

The latest statistics said there have been 933 registered A/H1N1 cases in Colombia.
