On April 23, 2009, Texas received laboratory confirmation of a novel

swine influenza A virus in two teenagers in Guadalupe County in central

Texas. Additionally, 5 cases of novel swine flu have been identified in

California. It is not known if the Texas and California cases are

related. It is believed the California cases represent human-to-human

transmission. There is an ongoing investigation into all cases.

DSHS has released interim guidance for clinicians dealing with

influenza-type illnesses.
