he 31-year-old, who was 24 weeks pregnant, was earlier admitted to the hospital with common flu symptoms such as a running nose and sneezing. Her condition quickly deteriorated despite two weeks of intensive medical care, said Associate Professor Dao Xuan Co, head of the Intensive Care Department at Bach Mai Hospital. Two other male patients who tested positive for the H1N1 virus are reportedly in critical condition at the hospital, including a 64-year-old man from Hanoi who was previously diagnosed with high blood pressure. He had a running nose, fever, cough and chest pains six days before being sent to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and received medical treatment but did not recover. He was then admitted to Bach Mai hospital for respiratory failure and losing consciousness.
The other man, 51, from Hanoi also suffered from respiratory failure and diabetes. The prognosis for both was dim despite the intensive medical treatments, Dr Co said.
