CAIRO, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Egypt reported on Friday two more cases of influenza A/H1N1, bringing the total number of the flu in the populous country to 50, Ministry of Health said in statement.

    According to the statement, both cases are Dutch and they have just arrived in Cairo from London.

    The condition of the two new cases is stable after receiving proper treatment, said the ministry.
