TOKYO -- Japan's first domestic case of infection with the H1N1 strain of influenza A virus was confirmed Saturday, the health ministry said.

The patient is a 17-year-old male high school student in Kobe city, Hyogo Prefecture, who has no record of overseas travel, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The student's family members have shown no sign of symptoms of flu A/H1N1 infection.

It is the first confirmed case in the country after four patients were found infected at an airport after returning from the United States on May 8.
