PALM BEACH COUNTY-- A 25-year-old woman has become Palm Beach County's first swine flu fatality, health officials said today.
The state laboratory confirmed the death, bringing the state total to seven people killed by the H1N1 virus, according to the Palm Beach County Health Department.
The unidentified woman died June 27, department spokesman Tim O'Connor told the Palm Beach Post.
The health department did not say what, if any, other illnesses or health problems the woman suffered.
Most swine flu cases tend to be relatively mild and mirror the symptoms of more-common flu strains, health officials say.
"There were other circumstances involved in this," O'Connor said, declining to elaborate. "There were other things going on with this individual."
