ND has it posted on their News and Information site. Plus it is in the on-line version of the South Bend Tribune and Indianapolis Star. No information on the person who had it, except that they have fully recovered.

FROM THE OBSERVER
BREAKING: Swine flu case confirmed at ND
Student has recovered fully from confirmed case
Observer Staff Report
Issue date: 4/28/09 Section: News
PrintEmail Article Tools Page 1 of 1 University officials confirmed shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday that a Notre Dame student contracted the swine flu.
The case was confirmed Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The student has fully recovered and is in good health after suffering flu symptoms and becoming ill last week, according to a University press release.
A media event is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the release: "The student sought treatment April 22 at the University's student health center in Saint Liam Hall. As a part of the center's standard protocol, a culture sample was taken from the student and sent to the Indiana State Department of Health in Indianapolis for analysis.
"The University was informed on April 24 that the sample was atypical for Influenza A, which could indicate that it was swine flu. The culture was then sent to the CDC in Atlanta for confirmation."
The release said the University and CDC were in constant contact until the confirmation today.
The release also stated: "Students who experience flu symptoms such as sudden onset of fever above 100 degrees, cough or sore throat should come to University Health Services for evaluation. Faculty and staff should consult their personal physicians."

shermjustin- when this flu hit at the Prep school in Queens, it spread within hours. Fever, dizzy, vomiting students. Heads Up----I hope the school is being VERY PROACTIVE NOW

Yes, just talked to son, who is working on project due tomorrow, so he didn't take my concerns too seriously.
Does anyone know what dorm the infected student lived in?
Are other kids showing symptoms?
Gosmom- imagine those sleep deprived kids with depressed immune systems getting sick .......ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On another note -- there is currently a plane with a picture of a 10 week old aborted baby flying around campus. This has not been the best day for ND.
