Re: Gujarat H1N1 2012; 5 fatalities
3-year-old dies of suspected swine flu
RAJKOT: A three-year-old girl died due to suspected swine flu in Rajkot Civil Hospital on Thursday.
Victim Hiral Karadia died before her blood sample report for H1N1 virus could arrive. Hiral, a resident of Halvad town in Surendranagar district, was shifted to Rajkot from Morbi, where she was undergoing treatment for high fever and severe cold.
Last week, a 45-year-old businessman Bhagvanji Vataliya died of swine-flu at a private hospital in Jamnagar. Vataliya's two relatives also tested positive for H1N1. On July 3, too, a businessman Naresh Shah (55) died of swine flu in a private hospital in Rajkot.
"We are waiting for Hiral's blood samples and if it comes positive, we will instruct health officials to give precautionary measures to her relatives," a hospital official said.
