Saudi Arabia : 32-year-old Saudi woman dies of swine flu in Asir

An article from Saudi Gazette, excerpt :

" ABHA: A 32-year-old Saudi woman admitted to hospital in Asir on Sept. 26 with A(H1N1) swine flu died from the virus Sunday morning, the Ministry of Health Affairs said.

“The patient was given a full dose of the medicine for the virus as well as antibiotics, and all the proper preventive measures were taken for such cases from the moment she was admitted to hospital,” the ministry said. “She did not respond to treatment.”

A teenaged boy with swine flu was also admitted to a private hospital in Jeddah in the first week of October.

In 2009, the Kingdom reported 124 swine flu deaths."
