A state spokeswoman says officials are still awaiting results of a swine flu test for a youth attending the annual International Thespian Festival on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus.

Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Jeanne Atkinson said Friday that the result should be known next week. As of last week, 81 cases of H1N1 had been reported in the state.

The youth had been diagnosed with influenza A this week. The youth's name and hometown have not been released because of medical privacy laws.

There are about 2,400 people involved in the festival, including three or four international troops from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Mariana Islands. The festival ends Saturday.
