New swine flu case in Georgia

ATLANTA (AP) - State health officials say a new swine flu case
has been confirmed in Georgia, bringing the number of patients in
the state to four.

Dr. Elizabeth Ford, head of the state Division of Public Health,
said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed
Friday that a 13-year-old boy from Henry County tested positive for
the H1N1 virus. They said his symptoms were mild and he did not
require hospitalization.

The swine flu case of a 30-year-old Kentucky woman who was
hospitalized in LaGrange after attending a wedding has been
attributed to her home state. She has been transferred to an
Atlanta hospital, which has better access to infectious disease
experts.
