Woman with no underlying medical conditions dies in 6th H1N1—related death SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed its sixth H1N1—related death on Sunday.
The 29—year—old Indian woman is the first H1N1 patient in Singapore to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) without underlying medical conditions, apart from being overweight.
The Health Ministry said she died Sunday morning from pneumonia with renal failure, with H1N1 infection as a contributing factor.
The woman was admitted to Changi General Hospital’s Emergency Department last Saturday after she fainted.
She had experienced flu—like symptoms for four days.
She was later transferred to the ICU on July 26 because of low blood oxygen.
As of Friday, there were 111 H1N1 patients in hospitals, with nine in intensive care, according to the Health Ministry’s website
