Three confirmed A/H1N1 influenza patients were discharged from a hospital in Fuzhou, capital of east China's Fujian Province, on Friday after a week of treatment.

The three patients, 22, six and nine years old, are all nationals of the United States.

They tested negative for A/H1N1 in two separate tests and have met requirements set by the Chinese Health Ministry for discharge from hospital, said a doctor of the Fuzhou Pulmonary Hospital.

China reported 61 confirmed cases A/H1N1 flu as of Thursday night, with no relevant deaths reported.
