Another life was lost to swine flu. A retired doctor, Dr S.B. Singh, a physiotherapist who had retired from the King George's Medical College (KGMC), was admitted to hospital with high grade fever and cough a few days back and succumbed to his illness. Dr R.K. Mishra, director of the private hospital, told IANS that blood samples of Dr Singh, 65, were sent to a private pathology lab last week. It was found that the retired doctor had been infected with swine flu virus. He was administered tamiflu, but could not be saved and died of respiratory failure.
Chief Medical officer (CMO) Lucknow Dr S.N. Yadav said the department was waiting for the final test report from the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI). The state health department has, meanwhile, advised hospitals to be alert about symptoms of swine flu in admitted patients.
