Wisconsin H1N1 cases climb to 26

May 6, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Wisconsin is seeing another jump in confirmed cases of Swine Flu.

State health officials say Wisconsin now has 26 confirmed cases of H1N1, also known as Influenza-A or the Swine Flu.

Milwaukee County has the highest number of cases in the state, with nine confirmed illnesses due to virus. Dane County has the second highest number in the state with five confirmed cases.

The state is still waiting for test results from the CDC to confirm 176 other probable cases.

Officials with the state Health Department say the number of confirmed cases in Wisconsin could jump rapidly in the coming days, now that the CDC has authorized the State Lab of Hygiene to confirm test results on its own.
