Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City on June 5 confirmed the death of a 49-year-old resident from District 3 from A/H1N1 Flu Virus.
The hospital said that the patient had been hospitalized with high fever and respiratory problems. He had a medical history of renal failure and cirrhosis.
After hospitalization, although doctors made concerted efforts to save him, he died due to a weak constitution and fast development of the disease.
In addition to this case, there have been many cases of patients contracting A/H1N1 virus in South Vietnam.
Doctor Hoang Lan Phuong, deputy chief of the Tropical Disease Ward of Cho Ray Hospital in HCMC said the ward is treating a 48-year-old man from the Mekong delta province of Ben Tre who is in severe condition and under a ventilator.
Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital is also treating a 50-year-old man from District 3 who is suffering from A/H1N1 virus infection with breathing problems and serious lung damage.
Also, a grandchild of a dead man in the Mekong delta province of Dong Thap showed symptoms of flu due to infection from her grandfather, just five days ago. The three-year-old toddler is currently receiving treatment in Children Hospital No.1. Her test results showed positive for the virus.
Meantime, doctors at the Tropical Disease Hospital in the City have just received another patient infected with the fatal virus.
