A case of swine flu has been reported in Indiana. The infected person is a student of Notre Dame. According to State Health Commissioner Judy Monroe the student is "doing well" and has not suffered any serious complications from the virus. Other information about the student were not revealed.
here's the statement released by Notre Dame:
A case of North American Human Influenza A (H1N1) - swine flu - in a University of Notre Dame student was confirmed Tuesday (April 28) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The student has fully recovered and is in good health after suffering flu symptoms and becoming ill last week.
The student sought treatment April 22 at the University's student health center in Saint Liam Hall. As a part of the center's standard protocol, a culture sample was taken from the student and sent to the Indiana State Department of Health in Indianapolis for analysis. The University was informed on April 24 that the sample was atypical for Influenza A, which could indicate that it was swine flu. The culture was then sent to the CDC in Atlanta for confirmation. The University and the health department were in constant communication until confirmation was determined today.
Epidemiologists in the State of Indiana are now conducting an investigation to know how the student got infected with the virus.
