Greek officials suspect country's first case of SARS
Tue Jun 24 2003 11:45:34 ET Greek officials Tuesday said they have identified a suspected case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the country's first, saying the individual was a Chinese citizen who recently returned from a trip to Germany.

;This time we have a real suspect case,'' of the highly infectuos virus, said Heath Minister Costas Stephanis.

According to health ministry officials, the man arrived in Athens on June 21 from Germany and flew to Drama. He was admitted to a hospital in Drama, near Kavala, a city in northern Greece on Monday and was being treated at a hospital in the northern port city of Thessaloniki.

The patient had travelled earlier to Italy and Austria. The case appeared on the day the World Health Organization had lifted what had been its last remaining SARS travel warning in Beijing.

Greek officials said the first gene test came back positive and were waiting for final results to come back from Hamburg, Germany by Wednesday.
