NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Health officials say the number of
confirmed cases of swine flu in Tennessee has increased to 84.
Tennessee medical epidemiologist Dr. Tim Jones said Monday the
prognosis with swine flu is not any worse than with regular
seasonal flu, and the long-term outlook on the health status of
Tennessee patients is good.
There are 42 confirmed cases in Davidson County, 13 in
Williamson County and 15 in Knox County. Blount, Bradley, Maury,
Montgomery, Shelby and Sullivan counties each have four or fewer
cases of the virus known as H1N1.
The state laboratory is assisting Texas and Arkansas public
health authorities with testing specimens. State health department
spokeswoman Andrea Turner said Tennessee has tested 314 samples
from Texas and 390 from Arkansas.
