Kuwait says a young woman has died from swine flu days after she gave birth to a baby by Caesarian section. She is the country's second person to succumb to the disease.
The state-owned Kuwait News Agency quoted Health Ministry spokesman Youssef al-Nisf as saying Saturday the woman also suffered from acute pneumonia in addition to swine flu.
He said she was eight months pregnant when she was admitted to the hospital Aug. 12. The C-section was performed the following day and the woman was then admitted to intensive care. The official did not elaborate on the baby's condition.
Al-Nisf said there have been 1,072 cases of the disease in this small oil-rich state in the Gulf. Most were mild and successfully treated.
