NEW DELHI: With 36-year-old Raj Bala, a resident of Ballabhgarh, succumbing to the H1N1 infection on Friday, the swine flu death toll in the capital has risen to six. Bala was suffering from hypertension and diabetes and had developed respiratory distress and was on ventilator at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
"She died of acute respiratory distress syndrome on Friday morning at 6. She had a lot of underlying medical complications like hypertension and diabetes and was not responding to treatment,'' said Dr N K Chaturvedi, medical superintendent, RML Hospital. Bala is survived by two sons aged seven and 12 and her husband.
"She used to stay in Ballabhgarh, but as she was not keeping well, her sister took her to Ghaziabad. She was admitted to a local hospital for two days and was shifted to RML Hospital after her report tested positive for swine flu,'' said Jaipal Singh, Bala's uncle.
The Delhi government is not counting the death of the 67-year-old man in Metro Heart Institute as a swine flu death. "He died of cardiac problem and not due to swine flu. That is why, the death toll in Delhi is just six,'' said Dr Anjan Prakash, additional nodal officer, Delhi government.
Fifty-four new H1N1 influenza cases were confirmed in the capital on Friday of which 26 are children. Till now, 1150 positive cases have been reported. "At present, 142 cases are undergoing treatment of which just 22 are admitted at various government hospitals. One 38-year-old male is critical at RML and is on ventilator. A 22-year-old girl admitted at Lok Nayak Hospital is serious,'' said Prakash.
