TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kiowa County in southwest Kansas has its first confirmed swine flu case.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said Friday that the virus was confirmed in an adult in the county. No other details were provided.

So far, the state has 110 confirmed cases. But the KDHE has stopped testing for swine flu in several counties where confirmed cases already exist.

Health officials say the swine flu's symptoms are similar to those of the seasonal flu.
