Israel has confirmed its second case of swine flu.



Officials say a 47 year old man who recently returned from Mexico turned up at a hospital with sore throat.



Tests also showed that a young man who recently returned from Mexico had contracted the virus.



Both the infected men in Israel are in quarantine and are expected to make a full recovery.



In Mexico, 152 people are thought to have died from the disease, but so far there have been no deaths elsewhere.
