Health officials say Italy has two more cases of swine flu, bringing the total number of infected patients in the country to four.
The Health Ministry said Monday that a 16-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy who recently returned from Mexico have been treated with antiviral medicine in Rome hospitals.
