report by times of india about swine flu in delhi.

The national capital has recorded its first swine flu deaths with a 31-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman succumbing to the H1N1

Swine flu in India influenza virus, hospital authorities said on Thursday.

Samrat Pandya, 31, a resident of Gurgaon, died on Thursday morning following two cardiac arrests, four days after he was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (RML) in New Delhi.

He had been kept on a ventilator and his heart and lungs stopped working, said N.K. Chaturvedi, the hospital's medical superintendent.

The other death was of Renu Gupta, who died Wednesday night also following two cardiac arrests.

With the two Delhi deaths, the national death toll has risen further.

Gupta, a resident of Model Town, had returned from Singapore on Aug 15 and had developed flu symptoms.

"She went to private doctors who asked her to visit a designated government facility. She visited the RML hospital on Aug 20 in a critical condition. She was gasping and was immediately admitted and put on ventilator," Chaturvedi told reporters.



Chaturvedi said her sample was sent to the NCDC (National Centre for Disease Control), previously known as the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) and she "tested highly positive for H1N1".

Pandya, he said, had no travel history or contact with any H1N1 infected patient.

"He came to the hospital Aug 16 with swine flu like symptoms and was quarantined. He was having mild fever, cold, cough, breathlessness and sore throat four-five days before he came to the hospital."

"We conducted an ECG and found that Samrat has myocarditis. The virus affected his two key body parts -- heart and lungs -- and both the organs stopped working. He suffered two cardiac arrests on Wednesday evening and his condition deteriorated Thursday morning leading to death," he said.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of heart muscles and happens when the virus affects a person's heart.

Samrat's father, R.S. Pandya, blamed the hospital authorities for his son's death, but Chaturvedi refuted the charges, saying that "he feels sorry for them".

"My son died because of negligence by doctors at RML and they did not cooperate. Till this morning, we had no clue that Samrat had swine flu," Pandya told reporters outside the hospital.

Giving details, Pandya said his son was first taken to Sanjeevan Hospital in Gurgaon, adjoining Delhi. Doctors at the hospital gave him paracetamol.

When the medicine didn't improve his condition, the family took him to the Max Hospital in Gurgaon. Here the doctors advised them to take him to a designated government hospital where swine flu treatment was being given.

"People need to be cautious and if they have flu like symptoms, they should immediately visit a designated government health facility. There is no need to panic about it," Chaturvedi said.

He added that Samrat's father had thanked the hospital authorities for taking care of him.

At the moment, he disclosed, five patients were undergoing treatment for H1N1 at RML. All were stable.

"Earlier, we were sending 130-140 samples per day for swine flu tests. But it has come down to 15 samples. The screening of people having flu-like symptoms has also gone down," he added.

On Wednesday, the country reported 216 new cases of Influenza A (H1N1), taking the total number of infected people to 2,243.

India swine flu - panic spreads faster than virus

The streets of the western city of Pune were half-empty, schools in Mumbai were ordered closed, and people suffering aches flooded hospitals across the country as India confronted dueling outbreaks of swine flu and swine flu panic.

Twenty people have died from the flu here, according to government numbers available Friday, and 1,283 have been confirmed infected in this nation of 1.2 billion people. But fear of the flu has outpaced the virus itself.

"The amount of frenzy or hysteria is totally disproportionate to the overall reality of the disease," Dr. Jai Narain, the head of the regional communicable disease office for the World Health Organization, said Friday.

Breathless reports of swine flu have dominated India's 24-hour news channels desperate for stories amid the August doldrums. That in turn has helped whip the public into a frenzy, even in cities with relatively few cases of flu.

In New Delhi, where no deaths have been reported, people have begun wearing surgical masks in the street. In Lucknow, parents demanded their children be tested.

"Over 1,000 people lined up at different hospitals. ... Eleven of them tested positive," Dr. R.R. Bharati, a top health official in the northern city of Lucknow said earlier this week.

In Mumbai, the country's financial capital, the government closed all schools and movie theaters, hammering the Bollywood film industry over the long Independence Day holiday weekend. The government also asked malls in Mumbai to tone down their traditional holiday sales to keep away crowds.

The nearby city of Pune is India's worst affected, with 12 of the country's 20 deaths.

There, the streets were half-empty, the usual crowds shunned the shopping malls and many workers stopped showing up at offices. With schools closed, worried parents kept their children shut inside.

Many who did venture out wore surgical masks, despite a shortage that sent the price of a single mask skyrocketing from 5 rupees (10 cents) to 150 rupees ($3).

"The situation in Pune is alarming considering the number of ... positive cases and deaths. We are augmenting the resources in the city to handle the situation. However, we appeal to people not to panic," said Chandrakant Dalvi, a city official.

In response to the outbreak, India's government has set up testing centers around the country and plans to increase its stock of the anti-viral drug Tamiflu to 30 million doses, the government said. But officials have also asked people to stop wearing surgical masks in the street unless they or a family member are infected.

"I cannot see anything to panic about," said Dr. Jayaprakash Muliyil, a professor of epidemiology at Christian Medical College in Vellore. "These kinds of rumors are not good for the health of the nation."
