Swine flu cases a mystery

April

Federal officials are continuing to investigate a new form of swine flu that has infected at least seven people in California and Texas.

Investigators with the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”:http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swine/investigation.htm expect to find more cases. No one in New York has been infected with the flu, which combines pig, bird and human viruses in a way that researchers have not seen before.

The cases are a growing medical mystery because it’s unclear how they caught the virus.

The CDC said none of the seven people were in contact with pigs, which is how people usually catch swine flu. And only a few were in contact with each other, the Associated Press reports.
All seven people infected recovered.
