Three-year-old girl is second swine-flu death case

Croatian Times

The second person to die from swine flu in Croatia was not a man but a three-year-old girl from Split.

The Croatian media reported that an unknown man had died from swine flu on Saturday, but Minister of Health Darko Milinovic dismissed those allegations.

Milinovic said a three-year-old girl who also suffered from acute leukaemia had been the victim.

Milinovic said the man who died at Zagreb’s Fran Mihaljevic clinic had not been diagnosed with swine flu.

A 61-year-old man who died in Split hospital on 31 October from massive organ failure was the first swine flu fatality in Croatia.

The minister visited hospitalized patients suffering from swine flu today (Tues) and stressed one more time there was no reason for panic.

There are around 1,600 people with swine flu in Croatia.
