Two women, one each from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, were today found infected with swine flu, a health department official said.
"A woman from Kadapa in AP and another woman from Telangana tested positive for swine flu," said Dr K Subhakar, the nodal officer for the disease here.
In 2014, 88 cases of swine flu were reported in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh together; of them 22 cases were reported in the last week of December alone.
Around 10 persons reportedly died of swine flu last year.
