A 35-year-old man from Thiruvananthapuram has become the latest victim of swine flu in the country. This is the 11th swine flu death in India.
Earlier on Tuesday, swine flu claimed two lives. A 62-year-old woman, Saeeda, died at the Noor Hospital in Byculla, Mumbai, and a seven-year-old girl died in Vadodara.
Saeeda was from Mumbra, a suburb close to Thane. She had H1N1 with several other complications. This is the second swine flu death in Mumbai and the sixth in Maharashtra.

The Vadodara girl is the 10th victim of swine flu in the country. She was admitted to the SSG Hospital on August 4. She was shifted there from a private hospital where she had been examined the same day. The hospital advised her to go to a government hospital immediately.
The girl had severe respiratory problems and was put on ventilator. She had been in a critical condition for the last three days. It’s not clear how she got the virus. None of her family members is known to have visited any foreign country.
On Tuesday morning, 13-year-old Shruti Gawade, a student of Ahilyabai School in Pune, died due to swine flu. She was the eighth victim of the deadly flu in India.

She had developed acute respiratory distress syndrome. This is the fifth swine flu death in Pune. She was admitted with fever, cough and breathlessness. She tested positive for swine flu on August 8.

Shruti is also perhaps another case of late diagnosis. On August 1 Shruti Gawade was first admitted to Pune’s KEM hospital with swine flu like symptoms.

On August 8, she was transferred to Sassoon Hospital after testing positive for swine flu. She was put on ventilator intermittently.

Monday evening Shruti’s condition deteriorated. She developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and at 1:30 am on Tuesday she died of swine flu.

Following are the details about the three deaths on Monday but all had other health problems as well:

In Pune: Thirty five-year-old Sanjay Tilekar, a chemist, also suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome.

In Pune: Thirty six-year-old Babasaheb Mane, an ayurvedic doctor, also suffering from severe broncho-pnemonia.

In Chennai: Four-year-old Sanjay Balkumar, also suffering from Asthma, was hospitalised for diarrhea.
