MADISON, Wis. (AP) - State health officials have confirmation of two more swine flu deaths in Wisconsin.

The state Department of Health Services says those deaths were in Dodge and St. Croix counties. Department spokesman Seth Boffeli said Thursday the H1N1 flu has now contributed to 18 deaths in Wisconsin since spring. Wednesday the department confirmed two deaths in Rock and Kenosha counties in the last week.

KSTP-TV reports the death in St. Croix County is a Hudson woman who died Tuesday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Friends say 48-year-old Debbie Lindstrom began having flu-like symptoms at the end of last week. They say she was taken to the hospital because the virus caused fluid to build up around her heart.

Lindstrom is the mother of three teenagers - two sons and a daughter.

A funeral service is scheduled Saturday in Hudson.
