HONG KONG - Hong Kong health authorities on Wednesday reported the territory's first case of human H1N1 flu where the person had caught the virus within the city.

Thomas Tsang, controller of the Centre for Health Protection, said the patient, a 55-year-old man, had caught the A(H1N1) virus at an event which another known H1N1 flu patient had attended.

"He had no travel history during the incubation period. We find he had been at the same cocktail party function as the confirmed case on June 5," Tsang told reporters.
