First swine flu death suspected in Poland

Health News
Nov 13, 2009,

Warsaw - A 37 year-old man suspected of carrying the H1N1 virus died in Gdansk on Friday in what was thought to be the country's first swine flu fatality, local media reported.

The man died of pneumonia after a week in the hospital, reported the Polish Press Agency PAP. Initial tests showed he was carrying the swine flu, with final test results expected Saturday afternoon.

So far in Poland this year, there have been 234 cases of swine flu.

The fatality in Gdansk came as a top Polish civil rights official threatened legal action Friday against Health Minister Ewa Kopacz, saying her delay in purchasing swine flu vaccines could endanger people's lives and health.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk last week decided that Poland would not buy swine flu vaccines until they are proven to be safe and without side effects.

Debate on the vaccines flared up in Poland with a deadly flu outbreak in Ukraine, Poland's eastern neighbor, where 239 people have died from flu or flu-related symptoms since October 29.
