September 30: Vietnam (VN): 1 new death confirmed


The Health Ministry on Tuesday confirmed the 15th influenza A death in the country and the 13th in just one month.

A 21-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, died Sunday at the Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. She was 7.5 months pregnant.

She is the second pregnant woman to die of the virus. The first one was reported last Friday in the Central Highlands’ Dak Lak Province.

The Pasteur Institute in HCMC last Wednesday confirmed that the woman had tested positive for the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu.

The woman was hospitalized in Can Gio District Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City last Tuesday with cough and fever and was diagnosed with pneumonia.
