Two deaths were reported in the city, which also saw 26 new cases
Mumbai : Just when medical experts thought that swine flu was on its way out, the city witnessed two more deaths and 26 new cases in past three days. City experts claim this is owing to unseasonal rains and fluctuating temperatures which have hit the City and the State. Following rain, hospitals have witnessed a 20 per cent rise in patients turning up with flu-like symptoms.
One of the deaths was that of a 5-month pregnant woman from Nashik. The 22-year-old woman was first getting treated on out-patient department basis (OPD) from Lotus Hospital in Nashik. But she was subsequently shifted to KEM Hospital in Parel on April 12 and was a known case of aplastic anemia. Owing to her damaged cells and bone marrow, her condition worsened and she breathed her last on Wednesday due to type 1 respiratory failure in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The civic officials informed that she suffered from a miscarriage due to intra-uterine fetal death.
Another death was of a 26-year-old man from Ghatkopar. He was admitted to KEM Hospital on April 5; however he was not associated with any co-morbidities.
