The World Health Organization says the hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship has now grown to 11 reported cases worldwide, including three deaths.

Health officials say a French woman infected during the outbreak is critically ill and is being treated with an artificial lung at a hospital in Paris.

Spanish authorities also confirmed a new hantavirus case Tuesday, with that patient now in quarantine at a military hospital.

Meanwhile, 15 Americans remain under medical observation at a quarantine unit in Nebraska as officials continue monitoring for possible infections tied to the outbreak.
