In a statement released last night, the Health Ministry said the man, who had multiple health problems, died of a heart attack contributed by severe pneumonia and the H1N1 infection. Prior to the flu virus infection, he was already suffering from diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. He was admitted to Changi General Hospital last Thursday. His family took him to the hospital when his condition worsened after four days of flu-like symptoms. By then, his condition was already critical and he was admitted directly to the intensive care unit, said a hospital spokesman. Apart from emergency and life support treatment, he was also prescribed anti-viral and antibiotic medicines. However, he died at the hospital at 2.30pm yesterday. The Sunday Times was unable to contact his family last night. Meanwhile, the latest H1N1 patient to be warded in an intensive care unit is a 55-year-old man. He was warded at the Singapore General Hospital last Friday after being tested positive for H1N1 and was found to have suffered an acute heart attack. He was also suffering from shortness of breath and fever. His condition is now stable. He is the fifth H1N1 patient here to be warded in an intensive care unit. One of the patients, part-time cleaner Omar Mohamed Salleh, 63, has recovered and was discharged from hospital on July 11. — The Straits Times -yijing back to top? |
