LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Metro health officials have confirmed that a 41-year-old woman died from the H1N1 virus on Sept. 21.
Metro Public Health and Wellness Director Dr. Adewale Troutman said the woman died from lung disease, likely pneumonia, related to the H1N1 virus.
“There were no apparent underlying medical complications in this patient,” Troutman said. “Of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family for the tragic loss of this young woman.”
He said her death doesn’t fit into the pattern of the disease so far.

While this is the first H1N1-related death in Louisville, there have been others in Kentucky. A woman in her 50s died in Fayette County earlier this year. She also had significant underlying medical problems.
And health officials are investigating the death of a teen in Caldwell County from H1N1.
Meanwhile, the H1N1 vaccine is expected to arrive in Louisville by Oct. 6. The first doses will be administered to health care workers. More will arrive each week after that.
Vaccines will be made available to the public at no cost.
