"This person has a recent history of being in an area with chickens in Vietnam and of having a previous influenza-like illness," the spokeswoman said. While health experts believe it is very unlikely the diagnosis will be avian influenza, the man has still been quarantined for testing. He is believed to have been unconscious for most of the flight.
