Kuwaiti teenager dies from swine flu; fatality toll up to 9 - ministry
Health    10/2/2009 3:51:00 PM
 
KUWAIT, Oct 2 (KUNA) -- A Kuwaiti teenager died after being infected with the A (H1N1) or swine flu virus, bringing the fatality toll up to nine, the Health Ministry said on Friday.
The deceased, a 14-year-old female with the Down syndrome, was also suffering from severe pneumonia and chest pain, as she was hospitalized and admitted into ICU with a critical condition on September 25. She was treated with antivirals but was too weak to fight the disease, an official source at the ministry told KUNA.
The deceased passed away last night.
Most of swine flu deaths were those of patients suffering from other illnesses. Most infectees have recovered. The recovery percentage in Kuwait reached 99 percent.
Children under five years, pregnant women and people suffering from diabetes, asthma and weak immune systems are more prone to be susceptible to the disease. (end) mah.hb KUNA 021551 Oct 09NNNN
