By Darshana Daga on July 3, 2017

On Sunday, two men fall prey to swine flu thereby increasing the death count of swine flu deaths to 61 so far. Both of them did not suffer any major illness and did not possess any co-morbid conditions. Doctors say that people dying, though not suffering any major illness, is a matter of concern and it is because of delay in taking Tamiflu tablets. They say it is the responsibility of an individual to get vaccinated.

On Sunday, two men succumbed after they were tested positive for swine flu. A 51-year-old man from Karmala, Solapur district and a 35-year-old man from Lohgaon in Pune did not have any co-morbid conditions, but still they fell prey to swine flu.

Swine flu surge: 1 in every 5 tested for H1N1 virus positive

MUMBAI: Every fifth person who underwent a test for influenza H1N1since April in the city has tested positive for the virus. The wide footprint of swine flu becomes clearer given that only a fraction of H1N1 patients -those hospitalized or belonging to the high-risk groups -are being tested according to the government protocol.

Health experts say H1N1 has been the most dominant influenza type this monsoon.

Data compiled by the BMC showed that of the 2,603 people tested for the infection since April, 484 were positive. Maharashtra, including Mumbai, recorded 284 deaths and 2,324 cases this year, and continues to be one of the worst-affected states. The city has had nearly 500 confirmed cases and nine deaths so far.

Interestingly, the positivity rates seem to differ between public and government testing laboratories. In the public laboratories such as Kasturba and Haffkine Institute, the positivity rate is higher at around 23%. The rate drops significantly to 17% in the private laboratories. Currently, 11laboratories and private hospitals in the city are permitted to carry out H1N1tests.
