Local Officials: Probable Flu Case Found In Madison

Public Health Madison and Dane County on Tuesday said the first probable case of the swine flu has been identified in Madison. But the state Department of Health Services isn’t yet calling the case probable and said it is “under investigation.”

Dr. Tom Schlenker, the director of Public Health Madison and Dane County, said the case is a 5-year-old Madison boy who became ill while visiting Mexico and is suspected of having the so-called swine flu, or H1N1 virus.
