First A(H1N1) death case in the Philippines

We already know that Philippines has the higher number of the new flu virus, “A(H1N1)” cases in Southest Asia with 445 victims. Due of the this cases, there are private schools that suspended their classes for 10 days after finding out that some students were confirmed that they were infected with the virus after having their trips to other countries such as United States, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada and China.

Today, a 49-year-old Filipina woman just died who was infected with the A(H1N1). This is the first ever death case in the Philippines and Asia who was infected with virus. This report was officially reported by DOH (Department of Health). The woman has also heart failure which worsened her infection, besides that, she also had liver disease.

I’m quoting this from what Health Secretary Francisco Duque said that “A(H1N1) is not the cause of death, but the virus could have exacerbated the situation“.

To think of it, it worsened your health when you have diseases such as diabetes, tuberculosis, kidney and liver ailments and people with HIV/AIDS even the pregnant women. Duque said that they will focus more on dangerous patients who has this diseases to stop the spread of the disease.
