Infant first swine flu casualty in the U.S.

A 23 month-old infant is the first known casualty of the swine flu in the United States. The Texas toddler died in Houston Monday night from pneumonia caused by the flu – government officials confirmed Tuesday that at least 91 people around the nation are carrying the virus, also known as A/H1 N1. The infant arrived in the Texas border city of Brownsville after crossing from Matamoros, just over the U.S.-Mexican line. The Health and Human Services Department, along with the Centers for Disease Control, have created a website where you can read more about planning and preparing for the spread of this virus: www.pandmicflu.gov.
