8th H1N1 flu death in Delhi; 53 new cases
New Delhi | Saturday, Sep 12 2009 IST


Delhi today witnessed its eighth H1N1 death in the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital even as 53 new confirmed cases were reported, Health authorities said.

RML Hospital's Medical Superintendent N K Chaturvedi told UNI that 35-year-old Ajay Agarwal, hailing from Ghaziabad, died at 1100 hrs. He attributed his death to the fact that the patient was not immediately brought to the hospital, and came 12 days after catching the infection. ''Ajay had symptoms of fever, cough and breathlessness for the last 12-13 days. He was taken to the Fortis Hospital in Noida on September 5 and shifted to our hospital on September 8. However, he was shifted to the ICU on Thursday after his condition worsened and put on ventilator. He did not respond to Tamiflu and his lungs had been damaged by the virus,'' Dr Chaturvedi said.

Meanwhile, 53 new cases of H1N1 flu were reported in the capital, Delhi Government's Nodal Officer Dr Anjan Prakash said. More than 80 per cent of these patients were under home quarantine, she added.

These new cases included 32 children, she said.

TNN 14 September 2009, 11:59pm IST


NEW DELHI: A three-year-old boy died of swine flu at Hindu Rao hospital on Sunday evening, but his sample tested positive on Monday. He is the
seventh victim to die of swine flu in the capital. Meanwhile, 53 new H1N1 influenza cases were reported in the city.

The boy was a resident of Sonia Vihar and was admitted to Hindu Rao Hospital on September 12. "He was suffering from pneumonia and was put on the ventilator. His swab was sent to NICD for testing on Sunday, but unfortunately the boy died in the evening. He tested positive for H1N1 influenza,'' said Dr Anjan Prakash, additional nodal officer, Delhi government.

What's bothering the state health department is the fact that the infection has now reached crowded clusters. "We are doing contact tracing of the case, as the area is crowded. The infection can spread faster in such areas. That is why, we have to give prophylactic treatment to people who came in close contact with him,'' said Dr Prakash.

Of the 53 cases confirmed on Monday, 29 are children. So far 1,345 cases have been reported in the city. At present, 144 people are undergoing treatment at various government hospitals and are in home quarantine.
