Amritsar woman dies of Swine Flu | Amritsar reported its first case of death due to HIN1
virus when a 48-year-old Malti Devi died here at a private hospital on Monday.
She was cremated in the evening. According to Hardeep Singh Ghai, a swine flu
nodal officer, the woman was working at the Health Centre at Guru Nanak Dev University
(GNDU) and was suffering from fever, cough, and running nose for two weeks. The
lady was being treated at a private hospital at Chheharta for seven days. The
hospital authorities informed the civil hospital on Saturday morning where she
was tested positive for H1N1 virus. Ghai said, “Her body had poor resistance levels.
The delay in getting investigated for H1N1 infection could be one of the reasons
for the death.” He also informed that the deceased had been already suffering
from Asthma. Subash, son of the Malti Devi said, “At the initial stage we did
not know about the Swine Flu and today we feel the delay in diagnose could have
led to my mother’s death.” According to available reports, last year at least
17 confirmed cases of H1N1 were reported, of which seven died. |
