Swine Flu Diagnosed in World Bank Employee in Washington

A World Bank employee in Washington has been preliminarily diagnosed with swine flu after traveling on business in Mexico from April 14 to April 18, before the outbreak was reported by world health officials, the bank said.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first in the nation’s capital.

The employee sought treatment upon his return from Mexico, and has fully recovered, according to the company e-mail. He received a preliminary diagnosis last night, and a second test is underway by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the e-mail said.
