  • Viral flu infection kills one more patient in Georgia

    The death on Monday of a 51-year- old woman in western Georgia brought to 21 the number of total fatality of H1N1, type-A and type-B infectious flu this year in the South Caucasus country, according to Georgia's center for disease control and prevention.

    Of the flu deaths, 14 were killed by H1N1 while type-B and type- A flu claimed the lives of five and two respectively.

    The center for disease control and prevention once again notified the general public that the flu deaths had all been caused by late treatment or combination with other chronic diseases.

    The same center said that as of Monday Georgia has registered 597 cases of viral flu infections.

    Last year, the H1N1 virus infected over 1,800 people in Georgia where 33 H1N1 patients had been killed.

    The World Health Organization in June 2009 declared the new strain of the swine-origin H1N1 as a pandemic which the UN body later declared as over in August last year.
