COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina is reporting fewer H1N1 flu cases, but more deaths from the disease.

The Department of Health and Environmental Controls tells The State of Columbia that just 56 cases of H1N1 were reported in the state's hospitals the week ending Nov. 14, down from 78 hospital cases the week before. But DHEC says H1N1 contributed to six deaths in South Carolina the week of Nov. 14, matching the deadliest week since the flu variety was first reported in the state seven months ago.

Health experts say it is still impossible to determine if the spread of H1N1 has peaked.
