WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday some people who have had contact with confirmed cases of the new swine flu also are developing flu-like symptoms. The CDC's acting director Dr. Richard Besser said in a conference call, "We are seeing rates of respiratory infections among contacts. This virus is acting like a flu virus and flu viruses spread from person to person." (Reporting by Maggie Fox)
