AH1N1 update

[NewsWhore]

The number of AH1N1 cases is steadily rising in the DR. In the last week 750 samples have been tested and six new cases were confirmed. This brings the total amount of cases in the DR to 66. However, only one of the cases of AH1N1 has resulted in the death of a patient. This was the case of a 17-year old pregnant woman from Bani who suffered complications because she already had tuberculosis and a heart condition. Officials reiterate that most cases have been benign, and have not required hospitalization. Most of the new cases, 44, were confirmed in the National District and the province of Santo Domingo, and most have affected schoolchildren.
