One more pregnant woman dies of H1N1
18:27' 26/11/2009 (GMT+7)
VietNamNet Bridge ? A woman, 20, died after 13 days of treatment in the Central Highlands province of Khanh Hoa, bringing the total deaths caused by H1N1 flu to 43.
The woman showed the first symptoms of flu on November 12 in a district hospital. Seven days later, she was moved to the provincial hospital in serious situation. Until November 24, doctors verified that she was infected with H1N1 and she died on the same day.
This is the 43rd death caused by swine flu in Vietnam and the 11th pregnant woman.
Nguyen Huy Nga, chief of the Preventive Health and Environment Agency, said that the number of H1N1 cases can fall at present thanks to cold and dry weather. However, the pandemic will spread when the weather is cold and wet.
The health sector is about to vaccinate for pregnant women against H1N1.
My note - this looks like a different person than the 43rd death reported on 11/18. That patient was reported as 23 years old and in treatment for only 6 days.
