Re: Alaska reports 1 death in Week 47

I cannot find a news article with any mention of a death from influenza. The death counts are not portrayed by geography in the state website. They are only released to the news media.

The confirmed ILI counts show show a new case of influenza B in the most populous area - Anchorage/Mat-Su.

Alaska had its 11th reported flu death of the year last week. A middle-aged man from Kodiak died last Saturday at Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage of complications from the flu, the state Health and Social Services Department reported Thursday.

It was most likely swine flu, but he wasn't tested for the specific type of flu, said health department spokesman Greg Wilkinson.

The state health department is not aware of any underlying health conditions that might have contributed to the man's death. In most other Alaska swine flu deaths, the victims did have other health problems.
