Dr. Mijomir Pelemis told the daily Politika that the 33-year-old died despite the efforts to save her.
He explained that the woman sought medical help seven days after the flu symptoms exhibited, and was immediately connected to a ventilator.
A week ago, a 34-year-old man from Uzice in western Serbia also died of swine flu. He was treated at Belgrade's military clinic VMA.
Pelemis said that KBC's clinic for infectious diseases currently has no other flu patients in a serious condition, but noted that they previously had such patients.
The doctor observed that while there is no flu epidemic in Serbia this year, most of those who have contracted the disease are exhibiting serious symptoms, and added that this shows that very few people in Serbia receive flu vaccines, "although it is the only reliable protection."
