INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nine new cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Indiana, bringing the state's total number of cases to 155.

The Indiana State Department of Health said Tuesday that five of the new illnesses are in Marion County, three are in Lake County and one is in Allen County. More than half of Indiana's cases have been found in Marion County.

The health department says one of the new cases involves a patient who's been hospitalized. That brings to eight the number of people who have been hospitalized with the virus.

No Indiana deaths have been attributed to the outbreak.

Across the nation, most people getting the illness have been young. Nearly two-thirds of Indiana's swine flu cases have been in those between the ages of 5 and 24.
