ABC Producer's Infant Has Anthrax
By Steve Donohue -- Multichannel News, 10/16/2001 12:00:00 PM MT
The seven-month-old boy of an ABC News producer has anthrax, ABC officials said Monday night.
The infant visited the network's headquarters for several hours Sept. 28. He contracted cutaneous anthrax, which is the same form of the disease an NBC News employee contracted, ABC News reported Tuesday morning.
Officials said they haven't found the source of the anthrax the infant contracted. They believe he may have contracted it at ABC, since other media outlets have been targeted. ABC said the infant is taking antibiotics and is expected to fully recover.
New York Police commissioner Bernard Keric told ABC News investigators would conduct environmental tests in the mailrooms at New York media outlets, including Cable News Network, Fox News Channel, the Daily News and the New York Post.
