NEW YORK (AP) - A drum maker hospitalized with inhalation anthrax remained in serious condition Saturday after suffering a setback this week, hospital officials said.

Vado Diomande apparently became infected after importing raw animal hides from Africa for use in drums. He traveled in December to Ivory Coast and became ill shortly after he returned, bringing several goat hides with him.
