The University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) is now treating two cases of the influenza A (H1N1) virus commonly called swine flu.
The patients ? a 10 month old child and an adult ? were transferred to the UHWI today from Mandeville.
According to the World Health Organisation, in some countries, there have been reports of hospitalisations with severe disease associated with H1N1 virus infections.
The WHO says based on its global influenza surveillance, in countries where the virus is predominating, hospitalisation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission patterns seem to be similar to previous seasons when the virus predominated and where young and middle-aged adults experienced severe disease.
[h=1]Doctor first to die from swine flu-related issues, illness now on high alert list[/h] A female doctor is Jamaica?s first patient with the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu) to have died since the illness was detected here just over two weeks ago.
The doctor, 50-year-old Suzanna Roye, had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) after being transferred from Mandeville.
Hospital sources say a second female doctor is also currently in ICU at the UHWI, however, she is responding to treatment.
"It?s very unfortunate, we tried everything we could do in terms of medical care as we do with all patients,? the acting Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr Winston De La Haye told The Gleaner a short while ago.
