BOSTON (AP) - Boston public health officials say a student at the Harvard
School of Dental Medicine has a "probable" case of swine flu.
In a statement released Thursday night, the Boston Public
Health Commission said it has closed a dental clinic at the center
and has requested that Harvard cancel classes for all third- and
fourth-year and postdoctoral dental students until the extent of
the illness is known.
The statement said the university is fully cooperating and
has agreed to close both the dental school and dental clinic on
Friday as a precaution.
The student, who was not identified, is said to be
recovering. There have been two confirmed cases of swine flu in
Massachusetts -- siblings from Lowell who are now recovering.
