Israel : Caesarea boy, 15, dies from seasonal flu

Via Haaretz :

" A 15-year-old boy died yesterday of complications from the seasonal flu, making him the third person known to have died of the flu in Israel this winter. The boy, who did not have any known underlying medical conditions, was from Caesarea.

The other two victims - a 33-year-old East Jerusalem man who died a month ago and a 55-year-old woman from Kiryat Ata who died last week - both had swine flu.

Another individual with swine flu, a 34-year-old from Upper Nazareth, is currently being treated at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, where she is in serious condition. She is reportedly in an induced coma and on a ventilator. "
