Stefano Boccini, 22, who was the first person in London to be diagnosed with the virus earlier this week, has severe vomiting.
His spokesman, publicist Max Clifford, said: ?He?s in a bad way. It?s not good news.?
The man, who lives in Mill Hill, north London, has recently been on holiday in Cancun, Mexico, with friends.
News of his condition came as the number of confirmed cases in the UK rose to 11.
The latest victim is an unnamed pupil in the first year at Downend secondary school in Bristol, Gloucestershire.
Dozens of the child?s schoolmates have now been given anti-viral drugs.
Another case emerged on Sefton, Merseyside. There were no other details last night.
The worldwide swine flu toll rose to at least 332 yesterday with more than 200 cases being investigated across Britain.
Professor Sir Roy Anderson, of London?s Imperial College, said a pandemic had already begun, warning: ?There may well come a stage when people should avoid large public gatherings.?
Scottish victim Graeme Pacitti, who picked up the virus from pal Iain Askham after he had honeymooned in Mexico, is the first known case of the disease spreading from person to person in the UK.
The 24-year-old NHS clerical worker from Falkirk is being treated in isolation since falling ill after a night out with Iain, 27, a football team-mate.
He said yesterday: ?It?s just typical flu. I have a sore throat, a sore head and an upset stomach.?
Iain and his bride Dawn, 25, from Polmont near Falkirk, were released from hospital after being given the all-clear.
Iain said: ?We feel guilty that we could have infected our close family and friends and put their lives at risk.?
Prime Minister Gordon Brown yesterday urged anyone with swine flu symptoms to seek help as soon as possible.
