KUALA LUMPUR: A four-year-old child died of complications arising from Influenza A (H1N1) infection at Hospital Sibu, Sarawak on Saturday.

The cause of death has been given as pneumococcal pneumonia and sepsis with H1N1 infection.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said the child's death was investigated by specialists from Sungai Buloh, Seremban and Kuching hospitals.

"Their investigations revealed that the child did not die directly from H1N1 but due to bacteria infection in the lungs."

Dr Ismail said two students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Sentosa 2, Bukit Sentosa, Rawang, Selangor, had influenza-like symptoms yesterday.

"While one was treated as outpatient, the other was hospitalised after both were treated with anti-viral drug," he said.

Both are yet to be confirmed for Influenza A (H1N1).

As of 5.30pm on Sunday, 31 new H1N1 cases were admitted to hospital. A total of 550 people are in hospital with ILI symptoms, of whom 66 are confirmed H1N1 cases.

Meanwhile Bernama reported that the Education Ministry would not resort to closing all schools which had students tested positive for Influenza A as this could disrupt learning.

Education director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Md Dom said school closure would only be done as a last resort and if the Health Ministry recommended so.

"The recommendation will then be forwarded to the state Education director because only he has the power to order a school to close," he told Bernama.

He said circulars had been issued to schools asking them to monitor their students daily
