Russia has first human flu death of this season


04.04.2006, 23.09

ST. PETERSBURG, April 4 (Itar-Tass) -- The first human flu death of this season in Russia has been registered in Chelyabinsk, a source at the National Flu Center in St. Petersburg told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.

An 18-year-old Chelyabinsk resident was taken to hospital with a severe form of human flu exacerbated with pneumonia. Three days later the patient with immune deficiency died. “Laboratory tests did not confirm H5N1 bird flu virus in his blood,” the source said.

According to the center, a flu epidemic in Russia will linger until the end of this month.

The National Flu Center of the World Health Organization is monitoring cold and flu situation in 46 cities of Russia all the year round and exchanges virus samples and screening results with the WHO Geneva headquarters.
