Chinese mainland reports new death from A/H1N1 flu

The Chinese mainland Monday reported its seventh death from A/H1N1 flu in central Hunan Province.

The patient, a 14-year-old middle school student in Changning City, died of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hernia and respiratory failure Saturday after nearly one month of medical treatment failed, a spokesman with the Hunan Provincial Public Health Department said.

The student was first treated for having a fever on Oct. 2 and developed hepatic and renal insufficiency five days later when he was tested A/H1N1 positive, the spokesman said.
