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.
