Local, state and federal health officials have launched an investigation to find the source, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A 9-year-old girl in Imperial County and a 10-year-old boy in San Diego County were identified as having had the virus. Neither needed hospitalization and both have recovered, the paper said, quoting health officials.
The cases puzzled health officials because neither patient had been in contact with pigs or with each other, and the strain of the flu is one never seen before in the United States, said the paper.
