GENEVA — The World Health Organization raised its global tally of swine flu infections to 15,510 Friday, an increase of more than 2,000 cases in two days.
The death toll increased by four since Wednesday to 99, the global body said.
The United States reported 1,163 new cases and one death. Mexico had 369 new cases and two deaths, while Australia's cases more than doubled to 147.
Although the virus has now spread to 53 countries, the vast majority of cases and deaths so far have occurred in North America, WHO said.
