SEREMBAN (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS
NETWORK) - A 27-year-old Malaysian woman
has become the country's first A(H1N1) influenza-related fatality in 2012 when
she succumbed to the virus at a local hospital.
The woman, who worked in
Singapore, had fallen ill while still in the country and died just before Hari
Raya. She had reportedly been asked by her family to return home after she did
not recover from a fever for several days.
State health director Dr Zailan
Adnan said a post-mortem revealed that she was infected by the virus.
“We have reasons to believe that
she may have been infected in Singapore. She returned for treatment here but
died several days later,” she said.
