RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue says the
state's first case of swine flu is in Onslow County.
Perdue released word of the confirmation by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention at a news conference in Raleigh.
State health director Dr. Jeffrey Engel would not identify the
sickened person, except to say a couple who traveled to San<br />Antonio, Texas, acquired the disease. Engel said he didn't know
when they had traveled, but did say the couple had been in Texas
for about five days when the person picked up the flu.
A tally released Sunday by the CDC shows 30 states now have 226
cases of swine flu. That does not include the North Carolina case.
