South Africa : Boy, 6, tests positive for swine flu

Via Independent Online :

" A six-year-old Durban boy has tested positive for Novel Influenza A (H1N1), previously known as swine flu.

The child, his father and his sister were admitted to a Chatsworth hospital on Sunday and immediately placed in isolation as a precaution.

A Chatsmed Gardens Hospital spokeswoman, Leanne Nyiri, said only the boy had tested positive. His father's results were expected to be released on Friday.

The trio had flu-like symptoms, but the children's mother was not in hospital as she had not been affected."
