Spurt in H1N1 deaths in state, 20 dead since Jan

PUNE: Swine flu has claimed 20 lives in the state since January, nine in March alone, say state health officials.

Among the total number of casualties, Pune district accounts for the highest number (10), said state surveillance officer Pradip Awate. "Six people died of H1N1 influenza within Pune municipal limits while four were from Pimpri-Chinchwad ," he added.

Following the recent spurt in cases, doctors have warned citizens to be vigilant and take precautionary measures. "The virus has infected 170 people across the state since January," said Awate.

Of the nine people who succumbed to the contagion in March, three were from Pune city. Nagpur registered two deaths and one death each was recorded in Thane, Pimpri-Chinchwad , Nashik and Aurangabad . "The behaviour pattern of influenza viruses has been unpredictable.

4 patients infected with H1N1; critical

PUNE: As many as 15 people infected with swine flu are being treated at different hospitals in Pune, while the condition of four patients down with the contagion is critical. All of them have been put on ventilator support.

"The critical patients are from areas in and around Pune. They have presented with severe symptoms of swine flu. In some cases, the patients delayed in seeking medical treatment, and this led to worsening of their condition," said a health official of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)

Taking medicine without consultation and delaying treatment can aggravate the condition. Health officials said the increase in the swine flu cases could be due to widely fluctuating and erratic climate and temperatures characterized by hotter days and colder nights experienced at present in the region.
