A 60-year-old man suffering from the H1N1 virus has died, the second such death this year, city health officials said Thursday afternoon.
The man was suffering from other conditions, but the cause of death was listed as "influenza pneumonia," said Armando Saldivar, spokesman for the city of El Paso Department of Public Health.
The number of reported cases has declined sharply in the past several weeks, officials said. In January, there were 357 reported cases; in February, 302 cases; in March, 136 cases; and so far in April, 18 cases.
H1N1 influenza, or swine flu, was listed as a secondary cause of death for a 76-year-old man who died in February, Saldivar said.
