SUMMARY 
------- 
 
¶1.  (U) In the past week, the Slovenian National Institute of Public 
Health confirmed that eleven additional positive cases of H1N1 had 
been identified, bringing Slovenia's total to fourteen.  All 
patients are being treated at home and authorities did not signal 
that any of the cases were worrying.  End summary. 
 
¶2.  (U) Of the eleven cases, five had recently returned from a trip 
to the U.K., two from Thailand, one from Greece, one from the U.S., 
and one was infected in Slovenia by another Slovenian case. 
 
¶3.  (U) The National Institute stated that most cases exhibited the 
normal signs of fever, cough, sore throat and muscle fatigue.  They 
further stated that the number of Slovenian cases is expected to 
grow as more people travel abroad during the summer months.  Public 
health officials stressed that all Slovenes practice heightened 
levels of hygiene and closely monitor their health after returning 
from summer travel.
