KUWAIT, Oct 2 (KUNA) — A Kuwaiti teenager died after being infected with the A (H1N1) or swine flu virus, bringing the fatality toll up to nine, the Health Ministry said on Friday.
The deceased, a 14-year-old female with the Down syndrome, was also suffering from severe pneumonia and chest pain, as she was hospitalized and admitted into ICU with a critical condition on September 25. She was treated with antivirals but was too weak to fight the disease, an official source at the ministry told KUNA.
The deceased passed away last night.
