EL DORADO, Kan. (AP) - Butler County's first case of swine flu has been identified, bringing the state's total confirmed cases to 98.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced the newest case Thursday. Officials confirmed that the H1N1 virus was found in an adult, but no other details have been released.

The Health Department says the swine flu's symptoms are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu. KDHE has stopped testing for swine flu in several counties where confirmed cases already exist.
