Guwahati, Dec 27 (IANS) A 21-year-old college student Sunday died of swine flu, the first fatality to the deadly H1N1 virus in Assam, an official said.
A health department spokesperson said the girl student, Shikha Biswas, was declared dead early Sunday by doctors at the Guwahati Medical College Hospital.

Second swine flu death in Assam

STAFF WRITER 19:52 HRS IST
Guwahati, Jan 9 (PTI) Swine flu claimed its second victim in Assam within a fortnight with the death of an engineering student in the Guwahati Medical College Hospital here.

The Regional Director of the Swine Flu Monitoring Cell in the North-East, Partha Jyoti Gogoi, said 20-year-old Samiranjit Nath died last night due to the deadly virus.

Nath, an engineering student in Mumbai and a resident of Panjabari area of the city, had come home during the winter break and was admitted to the Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital on Thursday.

Nath was shifted to the Guwahati Medical College Hospital after his condition turned serious yesterday.

There are adequate medicines to combat the virus, he said and urged all patients with symptoms to report for testing since there has been an increase in swine flu cases in the state in the winter season.
