SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The Illinois Department of Public Health is reporting 258 confirmed cases of swine flu.
Illinois health officials say virtually all the cases remain in the Chicago area, with the case from the furthest south remaining in the Springfield area. Another 22 Illinois cases are called "probable," meaning they haven't yet been confirmed by additional testing.
Illinois began doing its own confirmation tests on Sunday, which meant quicker turnaround on results and large increases earlier this week in case numbers.
The new tally of confirmed cases is 33 more than Wednesday's total. The state expects a gradual decline in specimens submitted for testing as doctors follow recommendations to test only severely ill patients.
