Egypt reported on Saturday two more cases of influenza A/H1N1, bringing the total number of the flu in the populous country to 74, Ministry of Health said in statement.

According to the statement, the new cases are a 6-years-old Egyptian girl arrived in Cairo on June 30 from Britain and a 23-years-old student from Chile arrived in Cairo on July 2.

The health condition of the new cases is stable after proper treatment.

Spokesman of Health Ministry Abdel Rahman Shahine said that 58 cases were cured.

Egypt reported its first A/H1N1 flu case on June 2, a 12-years-old Egyptian-American girl coming from the United States via Netherlands.

Egypt, the most populous Arab country that was hit hard by the fatal bird flu in 2006, decided in late April to cull all pigs in the country to stem the highly infectious flu A/H1N1.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease has infected more than 77,000 worldwide and more than killed 333.
