The Health Department says tests confirmed 158 cases of swine flu-including the death-for a total of 3,892. Mexico's confirmed toll has been steadily rising as scientists test a backlog of samples from patients. < ="http://ads.silive.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/www.silive.com//story/ap/__///@StoryAd" ="1.1"> But the government says the epidemic is in decline.
