WASHINGTON/GUANGZHOU—The U.S. State Department has brought a group of diplomats home from Guangzhou City in southern China, over concerns they were suffering from a mysterious malady that resembles a brain injury and has already affected U.S. personnel in Cuba, a spokeswoman said.
After confirming one government employee had “suffered a medical incident” in Guangzhou, the department deployed a team to screen employees and family members at its consulate there, spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement on June 6.
