Oregon Rep. Greg Walden is back at work after missing several days last week with a likely case of swine flu.
Walden, a Republican, was out for four days last week.
His spokesman, Andrew Whelan, says Walden at first thought he had a cold, but then was diagnosed with a likely case of H1N1, also known as swine flu. Whelan says Walden's doctor gave him permission to go back to work.
Walden cast votes on the House floor Monday night.
