A third person has died from swine flu in Puerto Rico as health officials reported an increase in the number of suspected deaths.
Epidemiologist Johnny Rullan says the person was young and had pneumonia but he declined to release other details.
In addition to the three confirmed swine flu deaths, Rullan said that two new suspected deaths have raised the number of suspected fatal cases to 18.
A young man with severe respiratory problems and a 27-year-old man with a history of asthma have died in recent weeks.
Rullan said Friday that there are 52 confirmed cases and another 384 probable cases.
