Kerstin Fritzl, the 19-year-old woman whose illness in April alerted Austria's authorities to a major incest scandal, has regained consciousness.
Kerstin is the oldest of seven children fathered by Josef Fritzl with Elisabeth - the daughter he held captive for 24 years and raped repeatedly.
Doctors say Kerstin still requires intensive medical care.
They have refused to comment on reports she has been reunited with her mother and the other five surviving siblings.
Mr Fritzl, 73, remains in detention pending charges. Last Friday he was remanded in custody for another two months.
His actions came to light when Kerstin became seriously ill in April.
