Doctors said so far over a dozen people died due to viral fever outbreak in Nepal. "Of the total 24 deaths from viral fever, some of them might have been died due to late diagnosis of the swine flu virus,"Dr. Shakya said.
According to Dr. Shakya, they have detected the swine flu virus from the laboratory tests based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rather than tests based on rapid kits.
