Five more Oklahomans die from influenza



Five more Oklahomans, including one from Tulsa County, have died from the flu, according to data released Thursday by the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

The death toll since October is now at 58, the most reported since the state began tracking flu deaths in 2009. Tulsa County has the most deaths, with 10, followed by Comanche County with six and Oklahoma County with five.

Nearly 1,300 hospitalizations have been reported this season, and nine came in the past week.

Dr. Sarah Elneser, a family practice physician with Hillcrest Medical Center, said the flu season can sometimes last into May and that there likely will be weeks more of activity.

The most likely cause of death with the flu is a secondary infection. People often don't seek health care early enough and then contract something like pneumonia, she said.
