She said Monday that the 26-year-old woman had underlying medical conditions that placed her at higher risk of developing complications.

Mathew says the woman died July 11 of pneumonia, which was a complication of the swine flu infection.

The death was one of six new cases of the disease reported by health officials, raising Guam's total to 16.

Guam is located about 3,700 miles southwest of Hawaii.
