Two U.S. students at the American University in Cairo have been diagnosed with swine flu, the university said on Monday, with their dormitory under quarantine after a third suspected case was discovered.
"There are two American students who came here on May 28 and the ministry of health has confirmed that they are sick with the A(H1N1) virus," university spokeswoman Rehab Saad told news agency AFP.
The two students are being treated in hospital along with a third suspected infected American, Saad said, adding that their dormitory on the central Cairo island of Zamalek had been placed under quarantine.
"The dorm of around 140 has been quarantined for 24 hours, the ministry of health is taking samples and the results are expected soon," Saad said.
