Erik Hogstrom
A Dubuque County adult is among the latest fatal victims of the H1N1 influenza.
The Iowa Department of Public Health today reported three additional H1N1-related deaths in Iowa - bringing the state's death toll to 11, including one child.
"It's certainly a somber event when it hits home," said Mary Rose Corrigan, public health specialist with the city of Dubuque.
The three other recent victims were adults in Polk, Mills and Monona counties.
All but one individual had medical conditions that increased the risk of complications.
