Via Times of India :

" LUCKNOW: Feasible weather conditions are letting the H1N1 virus spread faster in the state. The virus took a toll of another person at Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU) on Friday.

The person, named Sandeep Pandey (27), was referred from Alapur village of Ambedkarnagar on Thursday afternoon. But, according to the doctors, swine flu infection had affected is lungs badly. "He had developed bilateral pneumonia and was extremely critical... we had put him on ventilator but the infection could not be controlled," claimed Prof SN Shankhwar, chief medical superintendent, CSMMU.

It may be noted that this is the fifth swine flu death reported in the state capital in the last fortnight. Attendants of Pandey could not accept the death of their dear one so they tried to blame the medical university. But after counselling, they took his body and proceeded to their hometown."
