A young child and an adult are the latest Bay State victims of deadly swine flu, bringing to 17 the number of H1N1-related flu deaths in the state since spring, officials said yesterday.

Because of privacy laws, officials would only identify the child as ranging in age from newborn to 4 years old and a resident of Middlesex County. The adult ranged in age from 45 to 64 years old and resided in Suffolk County.
