SA Health acting chief medical officer Dr Nicola Spurrier said the figure ? up from 45 ? could be attributed to the way SA Health is notified about influenza deaths.
"We've had approximately 20,000 cases now of influenza ? this is obviously a much bigger flu season this year than last year," she said.
She said SA Health received notifications from Births, Deaths and Marriages about South Australians who had died and that information had to be matched up against hospital data about people who had contracted the disease.
