[tetano]

Influenza has claimed the lives of two people in the state of Delaware including that of a pregnant woman. The two deaths occurred in Wilmington, Delaware?s largest city where a 77-year-old man succumbed to the disease after being hospitalized for several days and in the small town of Smyrna where influenza claimed the life of an expectant mother. The victim was 33 years old and in the second trimester of pregnancy when she was admitted with the symptoms of H1N1?commonly known as swine flu ? on February 16. It is reported that she had first come in for tests 11 days before her death and was diagnosed for H1N1. She was admitted with severe respiratory distress and delivered her child a day later by emergency caesarean section. She died on February 22. The victim had not received any influenza vaccinations prior to her hospitalization.
