The commandant of the Marine Corps says one of his troops may have swine flu and that 39 in all are being confined until tests come back.
General James Conway says an initial test indicated one Marine in California may have the illness. Officials are awaiting another test on that Marine.
In the meantime, he and his roommate are quarantined and confined to quarters at the Twenty-Nine Palms base in California. Conway says the roommate is not showing any symptoms.
Another 37 troops that had been in contact with the sick Marine are restricted from going to the mess hall and troop formations until officials have a clear idea of whether the first Marine has the illness.
