Cutaway of journalists watching news conference\u003cbr/\u003eSeveral hundred students have fallen ill at the New York school hit by a swine flu outbreak, city officials said on Tuesday as the number of confirmed cases in the United States rose to 64, with at least seven people hospitalised.\u003cbr/\u003eNew York has the largest number of swine flu cases, with a heavy concentration at a Catholic school in Queens where students recently went on a spring break trip to Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eThere were indications that the outbreak may have spread beyond the school, with two people having to be hospitalised and officials closing a school for autistic children down the road - those cases have not been confirmed.\u003cbr/\u003eMayor Michael Bloomberg said the two people hospitalised were a two-year old boy in the Bronx and a woman in Brooklyn; both were recovering. \u003cbr/\u003eBloomberg said that 82 of 380 students at Public School 177 (PS 177), The Robin Sue Ward School for

Manhattan, a Roman Catholic school called Ascension, is also being evaluated because six students there are reportedly sick.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Center for Disease Control (CDC) said the country has 64 confirmed cases across five states, with 45 in New York, one in Ohio, two in Kansas, six in Texas and 10 in California.\u003cbr/\u003eAt least four other cases have been reported by states.\u003cbr/\u003eThe increase is not surprising.\u003cbr/\u003eFor days, CDC officials have said they expected to see more confirmed cases, and more severe illnesses. \u003cbr/\u003eHealth officials across the country have stepped up efforts to look for cases, especially among people with flu-like illness who had travelled to Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eAt a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday, the Assistant Director-general of the World Health Organisation, said that it was possible that the virus would take hold outside of Mexico, but that it was not
