  • Japan SF - tracking - 1 suspected was negative

    May 1 (Bloomberg) -- Japan?s Health Minister Yoichi Masuzoe said a 17-year-old boy may be the country?s first swine-flu case.

    The teenager, a high-school student from Yokohama, near Tokyo, visited the western Canadian province of British Columbia from April 10 to 25, according to public broadcaster NHK, which televised the news conference by Masuzoe this morning.

    The youth underwent a medical checkup yesterday after coming down with a fever and cough. Preliminary tests suggested he may have swine flu, NHK reported.

    The National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo is conducting additional tests to confirm the diagnosis, the report said.

    Separately, a woman tested at Narita Airport who was yesterday suspected of having contracted swine flu was found to have a different strain of influenza virus, according to NHK. The woman had gotten off a flight from Los Angeles, NHK reported.
