COPENHAGEN - Danish health officials on Monday reported the first case of resistance to Tamiflu, considered to be the most effective treatment for H1N1 flu by the World Health Organization.

The Danish national is no longer suffering from the illness and is not displaying symptoms, the Danish Institute of Serology said in a statement.

After resisting treatment with Tamiflu, the patient was given another type of medication, Relenza, made by British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline.
