Egypt reported on Monday one more case of influenza A/H1N1, bringing the total number of the flu in the populous country to 79, Ministry of Health said in a statement.

According to the statement, the new case was a 8-years-old Egyptian student arrived in Cairo on June 30 from Greece.

The health condition of the new case is stable after proper treatment. Spokesman of Health Ministry Abdel Rahman Shahine said that 68 cases have been cured.

Egypt reported its first A/H1N1 flu case on June 2, who was a 12-years-old Egyptian-American girl coming from the United States via the 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 94,000 worldwide and killed more than 400.
