First H1N1 positive patient dies
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Sat, 07/25/2009 10:39 PM | National
A six-year-old girl who tested positive for H1N1 has died, making her the first patient to succumb to the strain of the flu virus, although a health official said the virus could not be solely blamed for her death.
Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health, Tjandra Yoga Aditama, confirmed on Saturday that the girl had died on Wednesday at a hospital, where she had been receiving treatment for three days.
Tjandra said the patient had suffered severe pneumonia. She was admitted to the hospital with fever, coughs and respiratory problems that worsened even after she received medical treatment.
?The impact of the virus has remained insignificant so far. It can cause death, although the ratio stands at a low 0.4 percent. However, we have to stay alert,? he was quoted as saying by kompas.com.
He called on the public to live a healthy life and take medicine, wear masks and avoid outings when displaying flu symptoms.
Only one month after the first two suspected H1N1 cases were reported on June 24, the Health Ministry has so far recorded 343 cases of infection across the country.
