Haiti Sees First Swine Flu Case
Haiti has seen its first confirmed swine flu case. A United Nations peacekeeper who came to Port-au-Prince earlier this month had flu symptoms and was quarantined, a U.N. spokesman said. Soon after, it was confirmed he had swine flu. After he was treated for a week and a half, the soldier returned to work. While this is the first confirmed case, it is believed there might be others that slipped through the cracks of a broken health care system, the BBC reports. Forty-four cases have been confirmed in the nearby Dominican Republic.
