From _WEEKLY WORLK NEWS_ 6/18/91 (on newsstands 6/3/91) page 29:

"MAN CATCHES COMPUTER VIRUS!"
by Michael Todd, special correspondent.

  John Stevens has a lot in common with his home computer:  Both think
logically, both like numbers and both are sick with a virus - the same
virus!
  Stevens, a computer programmer who works out of his home in a
Philadelphia suburb, is convinced his lingering and debilitating illness
is something he got from his sick computer.  And the victims's doctor
agrees.
